Real conversations with your students.
"My friends mom passed away and I don't really know what to say to him. I don't want to sound insensitive but I don't what to sound pitiful, so any advice?"
"Kind of because I don't know where J belong"
"I appreciate it 😊most definitely👍"
"No worries, monster texts are usually the best 😊 That is really helpful actually- I'm a visual learner, and that is a good image. Do you have any suggestions on how to get back to the inner circle? I get so caught up in the dregs I forget how to get out"
"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"
"I enjoy all of this information"
"I miss my dad, he seems to be the only one who calm me down lately. And i'm stuck in my room breaking down while trying finishing assignments before the quarter ends so i don't have a bad grade, and i just need him to be here."
"How do I make and keep friends?"
"Wowwww thats so cool!"
"you're so right !! i'm kind of doubting the relationship because it has a lot to do w/ me trusting him!"
"I'm stressed with my grades still. Normally I have all A's but I have a C in math that I've been trying to get up but I don't get the unit I missed"
"I like that, I think that’s a good point, thank you for your input"
"You're welcome! 😉 But thanks to you too 😁"
"Thank you so much for the help and advice!"
"I can't help in my classroom, we are online"
"These tips will probably help a lot for now - I'd love to stay in touch, and I'll reach out if I'm struggling again (probably sooner rather than later 😅) thank you so so much"
"Okay, thank you🤎"
"That’s a great idea thank you, honestly, I really appreciate it.”"
"Do you think I have depression?"
"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."
"That's a good thought, everyone has something to contribute, sometimes it's just hard to see my part when others seem to have so much more to contribute than I do, I appreciate your help, this program is a really great idea"
"I want girls to like me"
"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"
"Thank you so much. This program really is amazing!"
"The end of the quarter is kinda sucky rn"
"How do I make a paper airplane?"
"I was home from school for two weeks because I was depressed because my parents divorced this summer and I moved and haven't been feeling belonged at school"
"How do I feel better"
"0 - I’m super sad. What do you do if nobody likes you?"
"I have a math test tomorrow and that's the only class holding me back from my 4.0 and if I don't do good I'll lose it"
