Real conversations with your students.
"The end of the quarter is kinda sucky rn"
"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"
"I have a lot of family problems. My parents are getting a divorce."
"it's all good!! just been thinking ab school & life in general. it's all stressful"
"this is actually helping me a lot😂 so thank you !"
"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 😅"
"Okay, thank you🤎"
"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"
"i'm failing all my classes"
"Lately I've started liking this guy in my friend group and he's really nice and everyone I know loves him but my best friend and it's been making me feel super guilty because she doesn't like being around him. I'm not really sure what to do about it though because I'm trying really hard to not pressure her and talk about him around her but I still feel like its causing a strain in our friendship"
"i have another question. how do you feel good about yourself and things you are good at without seeming self centered?"
"I have a question, I have a friend who hasn't been making the best choices and so I've been trying to stop being friends with her how do I do that without hurting her feelings?"
"Thanks for the wonderful advice"
"I don't really have any hobbies. I just work a lot. I work at a mexican restaurant i've climbed before but i don't do it often. I don’t really have motivation to do anything lately."
"That's a very structured way of looking at it, I think that would be a great start"
"im sad i aint at school i wanna kill my self"
"How do I feel better"
"I feel constantly disappointed about myself because I know I can do better, but I don't seem to be able to."
"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"
"My sister has depression, what can I do to help her?"
"My friends mom passed away and I don't really know what to say to him. I don't want to sound insensitive but I don't what to sound pitiful, so any advice?"
"Thank you so much for listening, sometimes I just feel like nobody is listening or understands."
"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"
"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."
"I am very sad and don't feel like attending class."
"How do I make and keep friends?"
"How do I deal with friends that keep fighting and get me in the middle of their drama?"
"I want girls to like me"
"I think you're a genius, you just helped me sooooo much, thank you."
"I Don't know yesterday and today I just Felt sad when I woke up."
