Real conversations with your students.
"Yea I'm so relieved now, thank you!"
"Soo, the other day I got into a really heated argument with my best friend's mom, because they kinda make my friend feel down. I went to confront her, but it turned into an argument. I said some things I'm not too proud of, and wrote her an apology note, but um. I still feel sick from what I said."
"Thank you so much for listening, sometimes I just feel like nobody is listening or understands."
"thank you, you too!!"
"I don’t enjoy my life anymore.I mess everything up. I dont like it. My life is painful and since then I've had 2 suicide attempts. Been like this since mid 2019"
"How do I feel better"
"Kind of because I don't know where J belong"
"Thank you so much. This program really is amazing!"
"I'm dealing with the suicide of a family member- how do I cope?"
"Idk 😂 I am the oldest in my family and I am struggling with the idea of leaving for college. I kinda just try to not think about it but then I end up not doing the things that I need to do like apply for scholarships. When I do think about it I cry though😅 I love my family and I don't want to loose what we have but I also want to continue to grow and got to college ya know?"
"I am very sad and don't feel like attending class."
"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 have funeral I'm going to, ACT stuff is being shoved in my head, I have 4 college classes to keep up on, skills USA is coming up and I've been nominated to participate, and I have two jobs"
"Thanks for the wonderful advice"
"“Thank you so much for your support!”"
"I actually just got my grade up from a C to an A-"
"That's a good idea thanks"
"I lost my whole friend group of 4 years. I think that they were just so toxic. i wasn't invited to anything unless i texted them. i would leave with extreme anxiety and no one would ask me if i was ok. and they've all just changed since i met them. we don't have the same values or morals anymore"
"What do you do if nobody likes you"
"yes i really think being friends with her will be the best option. and thank you very much! Thank you for helping me think of new things to do to help myself!"
"Sounds good! I really appreciate you talking to me. It means a ton to me and I had a good time. Thank you. Have a good night."
"Thank you for being here for the students, it's great to have a person to talk to. Here's a little expression of my gratitude in video form (the audio is a little quiet so turn up the volume a little)"
"How do I get rid of a friend that is mean and is taking all of my friends"
"Sometimes people don't tell me things because they don't want to hurt my feelings,but the fact they don't tell me hurts my feelings. What should I tell them?"
"That’s a great idea thank you, honestly, I really appreciate it.”"
"i have another question. how do you feel good about yourself and things you are good at without seeming self centered?"
"How do I make and keep friends?"
"I’m having major body image issues, and I can't focus on school because all I think about is how ugly I am"
"I don't feel an intimate connection to anyone in my life and being in the general vicinity of people gives me extreme anxiety."
"thanks, that's really nice to hear honestly. I hope you have a great day"
