Real conversations with your students.
"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."
"How do I deal with very opinionated friends?"
"Ok I'm scared for my speech in leadership"
"I want girls to like me"
"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'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 😅"
"I am very sad and don't feel like attending class."
"How do you get your teachers to like you?"
"thank you! i'm kinda stuck right now & i don't know what to do about this boy! i really like him & we've dated in the past but needed to break up to work on ourselves. we just recently decided to try again because obviously we still like & care for each other! but last night, i found out while we were broken up he did some bad things that he shouldn't have! he regrets it & says he was forced into it. at the end of the day you are responsible for the decision you make & no one can 'force' you🤷🏽♀️ i've been thinking about this all day & it makes me sick:( i know it shouldn't affect me this bad because we were broken up but i don't know if i can move past this! he's told me he is sorry SOO many times but it just hurts me:("
"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"
"That is true. I'm just happy that I'm able to help him"
"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"
"I have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"
"There's a lot on my to do list and I feel it piling up"
"How do I get rid of a friend that is mean and is taking all of my friends"
"Guess what? I aced my test, 100/100!"
"I totally agree thanks!"
"im sad i aint at school i wanna kill my self"
"Do you think I have depression?"
"You too, have a great rest of the day😁"
"I’m feeling nervous"
"I’m stressed, I’m taking the ACT in 6 days"
"I enjoy all of this information"
"“I'm grateful for you, and my family. Thanks for being here for me!! You're awesome ”"
"Ya those are really awesome tips, thank u so much! Ima screenshot it so I don't forget - I appreciate your help, it's really nice to have someone to talk to 😅"
"Sometimes people don't tell me things because they don't want to hurt my feelings,but the fact they don't tell me hurts my feelings. What should I tell them?"
"You've been so helpful"
"Yeah, my aunt took a stroke, the doctors didn’t know why and it wasn’t looking very good. She had a severe brain bleed and their hope was that her brain would swell and stop the bleeding. But 12 hours later her brain was still bleeding. She had a 3% chance of pulling through but by 8 last night she was brain dead so they took her off life support and around 4 this morning she passed"
"Wowwww thats so cool!"
"Idk 😂 I am the oldest in my family and I am struggling with the idea of leaving for college. I kinda just try to not think about it but then I end up not doing the things that I need to do like apply for scholarships. When I do think about it I cry though😅 I love my family and I don't want to loose what we have but I also want to continue to grow and got to college ya know?"
