Conversations

Real conversations with your students.

"I don't feel an intimate connection to anyone in my life and being in the general vicinity of people gives me extreme anxiety."

"hey, so i have this friend who i don't want to be friends with anymore but i don't know what to do?"

"im sad i aint at school i wanna kill my self"

"How do I get rid of a friend that is mean and is taking all of my friends"

"Wowwww thats so cool!"

"I totally agree thanks!"

"How do I deal with friends that keep fighting and get me in the middle of their drama?"

"I am very sad and don't feel like attending class."

"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"

"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"

"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"

"Do you think I have depression?"

"How do I make and keep friends?"

"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"

"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"

"You too, have a great rest of the day😁"

"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"

"idk. i just get sad randomly sometimes like my depression will just come and hit me out of nowhere when i'm feeling fine. and my doctor thought i might be bipolar but the psychologist said i wasn't so yeh. idk i'm just kinda weird lol"

"Guess what? I aced my test, 100/100!"

"i'm failing all my classes"

"I’m stressed, I’m taking the ACT in 6 days"

"Should I get help if I feel anxious most of the time?"

"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"

"That's a good idea thanks"

"I just dont rlly have anyone i can talk or relate to. Idk just feeling lonely and a little overwhelmed."

"Sounds awesome!"

"I get bullied a lot"

"I think you're a genius, you just helped me sooooo much, thank you."

"yeah totally! thanks for your help (:"

"“I have tried to talk a little bit to my parents but I didnt like seeing them upset, plus they are already worried about me to much as it is, I dont want to add more weight on them anymore. And I dont trust the counselors anymore”"
