Real conversations with your students.
"You're welcome! 😉 But thanks to you too 😁"
"Most definitely, I'm happy to hear whatever you've got to say"
"Why do I feel the need to hide who I really am from my friends? I end up resenting them because they're talking to the person I pretend to be, and it feels fake because I'm fake around them"
"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."
"Ok I'm scared for my speech in leadership"
"Thank you so much for the help and advice!"
"Should I get help if I feel anxious most of the time?"
"that sounds perfect!! thank you for your advice 🥰 i think i'm gonna do that"
"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"
"I want girls to like me"
"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"
"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"
"How do I make and keep friends?"
"You've been so helpful"
"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'll try to gain the courage to talk to someone irl, if not I'll come back to talk to you- it's easy to release over text honestly 😅"
"That's a very structured way of looking at it, I think that would be a great start"
"What do you do if nobody likes you"
"Okay so uh I've been thinking a lot about suicide recently, about how there isn't really any point to doing anything because you're just surviving to be ruled by someone else - I made a suicide poem and like know how I would do it and where and what I would dress in but I know I won't do it if that makes any sense? Idk what to feel"
"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."
"I'm dealing with the suicide of a family member- how do I cope?"
"i'm failing all my classes"
"im sad i aint at school i wanna kill my self"
"yeah totally! thanks for your help (:"
"Sounds awesome!"
"Guess what? I aced my test, 100/100!"
"That’s good, I’ll try to do that today with my friends."
"“I'm grateful for you, and my family. Thanks for being here for me!! You're awesome ”"
"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 Don't know yesterday and today I just Felt sad when I woke up."
