Real conversations with your students.
"i don't know i just missed two weeks of school due to COVID and my grades are suffering and i can't find the motivation to work. I lose my 4.0 this year already to one A- and now i kinda feel like a failure"
"Sounds good! I really appreciate you talking to me. It means a ton to me and I had a good time. Thank you. Have a good night."
"I can't help in my classroom, we are online"
"How do you get your teachers to like you?"
"I'm dealing with the suicide of a family member- how do I cope?"
"I like that, I think that’s a good point, thank you for your input"
"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?"
"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"
"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"
"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"
"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"
"I love music, thank you! Thank you so much for ur help"
"What do you do if nobody likes you"
"i'm failing all my classes"
"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."
"Ok thanks for your help 😀"
"“I'm grateful for you, and my family. Thanks for being here for me!! You're awesome ”"
"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🤷🏻♂️"
"Thank you for being here for the students, it's great to have a person to talk to. Here's a little expression of my gratitude in video form (the audio is a little quiet so turn up the volume a little)"
"this is actually helping me a lot😂 so thank you !"
"I turned in the test today, wish me luck."
"I have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"
"I actually just got my grade up from a C to an A-"
"I get bullied a lot"
"You've been so helpful"
"My boyfriend broke up with me"
"How do I increase self-confidence while performing or just stage fright in general?"
"Okay, thank you🤎"
"Man are u a real person? Also I am burnt out. But answer both questions plez"
"you're so right !! i'm kind of doubting the relationship because it has a lot to do w/ me trusting him!"
