Real conversations with your students.

"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"

"That is true. I'm just happy that I'm able to help him"

"i have another question. how do you feel good about yourself and things you are good at without seeming self centered?"

"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 ๐Ÿ˜…"

"Idk, family life has gotten a little better for him, but his sisters make him feel worthless, and when his parents get after him, they yell at him so much, he feels like cutting. I always manage to make his feel better, but, I really just don't like his mom the most. She manipulates him to fo what she wants, and it just breaks him"

"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."

"How do you get rid of a sore throat?"

"โ€œThank you so much for your support!โ€"

"you're so right !! i'm kind of doubting the relationship because it has a lot to do w/ me trusting him!"

"My friends say I talk too much, any tips on how to talk less?"

"I'm stressed with my grades still. Normally I have all A's but I have a C in math that I've been trying to get up but I don't get the unit I missed"

"Do you think I have depression?"

"Iโ€™m feeling nervous"

"I feel bad talking to my parents, because I know they will still love me if I let my grades drop and they'll always support me, but it does feel like to much pressure sometimes, especially since my older brother was so good when it came to grades and academic performance. And I'm not close enough with any of my teachers to share this kind of stuff with them...that's a good way to look at it, thank you.โ€"

"Idk ๐Ÿ˜‚ 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 though๐Ÿ˜… 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?"

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

"my older sister and i got into an argument and she moved out so i had to step up as older sister and then my dad kicked my mom out so i feel like i have a lot of pressure on me"

"Yea I'm so relieved now, thank you!"

"Thank you so much for the help and advice!"

"I have a math test tomorrow and that's the only class holding me back from my 4.0 and if I don't do good I'll lose it"

"I have been feeling just really down"

"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"

"Your advice really helped! Now I feel that my friends want to be around me more. ๐Ÿ™‚"

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

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

"That's really comforting, thank you!"

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

"No worries, monster texts are usually the best ๐Ÿ˜Š 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"

"Iโ€™m doing better now, thank you!"

"it's all good!! just been thinking ab school & life in general. it's all stressful"
