"i'm failing all my classes"
"I just dont rlly have anyone i can talk or relate to. Idk just feeling lonely and a little overwhelmed."
"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!"
"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 😅"
"thank you, you too!!"
"yeah totally! thanks for your help (:"
"Ok thanks for your help 😀"
"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"
"I turned in the test today, wish me luck."
"hey, so i have this friend who i don't want to be friends with anymore but i don't know what to do?"
"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."
"Okay, thank you🤎"
"How do I make and keep friends?"
"Do you think I have depression?"
"I think you're a genius, you just helped me sooooo much, thank you."
"The bullying has been happening for a few weeks and I honestly don't know why. Me and another girl got a note directed towards me called me a f---ing retard and behind my back this kid called me an ugly a--hole. i try not to let it bother me though it's not super important cos (this sounds weird and far fetched ik) likeeeeeee why would he call me ugly unless he thought i have a higher opinion of myself then that, so he prolly knows i couldn't care less about his words like they hurt but i know he's verbally abused at home and i don't put up with it and he can't handle not having the right reactions from me."
"yeah he's this guy i met thru my friends family. & we almost dated but then he ghosted me & i think he's still on & off w his ex. he plays w my feelings bc i saw him yesterday for the first time in over a month & he acted like we were still talking & everything & it was weird. so i'm not sure if o should move on or keep hoping he'll choose me"
"Yes you too!! Thanks for helping me feel better"
"“I'm grateful for you, and my family. Thanks for being here for me!! You're awesome ”"
"I have been feeling just really down"
"I totally agree thanks!"
"I also want your opinion on something real quick: Which one should I get. Two lockets. One is a heart and the other’s an oval. They’re both the same amount. Which one should I get? The heart is the most popular, but oval is more sentimental to some?"
"How do I deal with stress?"
"I've been feeling a bit stressed, I work full time. And also have been struggling to take out a motor I've bought from the junk yard."
"My sister has depression, what can I do to help her?"
"Thanks for the wonderful advice"
"Wowwww thats so cool!"
