Real conversations with your students.
"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 feeling nervous"
"How do I get rid of a friend that is mean and is taking all of my friends"
"You've been so helpful"
"im sad i aint at school i wanna kill my self"
"I can't help in my classroom, we are online"
"Wowwww thats so cool!"
"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."
"i want to stay friends with the girl i just talked to. we work at the same place and she's the only one who's ever been very kind to me. i just feel like my friends are very manipulative of me so i feel like i should just tell them that i'm wanting to take a break and focus on my mental health and happiness"
"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."
"I have been feeling just really down"
"You're welcome! 😉 But thanks to you too 😁"
"“Thats a good idea! Ive never tried that. Usually each day I just get a 1-2 hour nap...Alright i will definitely have to! Thank you so much”"
"Thank you so much for the help and advice!"
"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"
"What do you do if nobody likes you"
"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"
"That’s a great idea thank you, honestly, I really appreciate it.”"
"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🤷🏻♂️"
"hey thanks im sorry im just being bullied at school and i told the counselor and he's been helping me but it's only getting worse"
"this kid said he loves me and i don't know how i feel!!! like he's so sweet but i just can't say it. it's hurting my brain"
"What can I do to improve my mood?"
"hey, so i have this friend who i don't want to be friends with anymore but i don't know what to do?"
"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"
"How do I deal with stress?"
"I’m doing better now, thank you!"
"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"
"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!"
"My friends say I talk too much, any tips on how to talk less?"
"I get bullied a lot"
