Real conversations with your students.
"it's all good!! just been thinking ab school & life in general. it's all stressful"
"How do I deal with friends that keep fighting and get me in the middle of their drama?"
"im sad i aint at school i wanna kill my self"
"well, the overbearing feeling that everyone around is making you feel like you aren't good enough, like you're not deserving of the same kind of love if you're different"
"yeah totally! thanks for your help (:"
"Wowwww thats so cool!"
"The end of the quarter is kinda sucky rn"
"All my friends watch tiktoks instead of doing hw and brag about it, it's like, high school culture to just procrastinate and brag about having bad grades and no sleep and everything and it doesn't click to me. But yeah I love my friends but I wish I could meet some that are more like me."
"My best friend texted me saying she is fed up with me hurting her feelings and being mean, I don't know what I've done and apologized if I've ever done anything not on purpose. She said apparently I did something on purpose and I should know what it is. Now she won't talk to me and I'm still confused. Any advice???"
"I'm dealing with the suicide of a family member- how do I cope?"
"My friends say I talk too much, any tips on how to talk less?"
"Thanks for the wonderful advice"
"this is actually helping me a lot😂 so thank you !"
"Why do I feel like isolating all the time? I tend to hate people a lot, they just annoy me, though I strive for connection I hate connecting then I hate myself for not being able to just be normal, it's kinda twisted🤷🏻♂️"
"I have friends but they never supported me through anything i guess i will need to find another way. You're really the only thing(?) that has ever actually listened to my thoughts"
"I get bullied a lot"
"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"
"Okay sweet! there’s kind of a back story to it all to explain, as well as this being the first time I’ve gotten into this subject with anyone, so I’ll do that first if that's all good."
"How do I deal with very opinionated friends?"
"My sister has depression, what can I do to help her?"
"my older sister and i got into an argument and she moved out so i had to step up as older sister and then my dad kicked my mom out so i feel like i have a lot of pressure on me"
"I am very sad and don't feel like attending class."
"Thank you, I love getting messages that make me stop what I'm doing and think about things that leave me in a more positive attitude than before!"
"I just dont rlly have anyone i can talk or relate to. Idk just feeling lonely and a little overwhelmed."
"Well for one I'm just sad a lot of the time, I guess we could call that depression at this point, and I often act happy and good natured, and I'm trying to transition away from the religion of the masses here in St George, but I don't expect any of them to be able to understand, so I keep it to myself. Whenever I talk to them I feel like I'm constantly filtering what I really want to say because they wouldn't be ok with it"
"That's a very structured way of looking at it, I think that would be a great start"
"I have a lot of family problems. My parents are getting a divorce."
"You're welcome! 😉 But thanks to you too 😁"
"That is true. I'm just happy that I'm able to help him"
"I actually just got my grade up from a C to an A-"
