Conversations

Real conversations with your students.

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

"I was home from school for two weeks because I was depressed because my parents divorced this summer and I moved and haven't been feeling belonged at school"

"My best friend texted me saying she is fed up with me hurting her feelings and being mean, I don't know what I've done and apologized if I've ever done anything not on purpose. She said apparently I did something on purpose and I should know what it is. Now she won't talk to me and I'm still confused. Any advice???"

"That's a very structured way of looking at it, I think that would be a great start"

"I have a lot of family problems. My parents are getting a divorce."

"I appreciate it 😊most definitely👍"

"How do you get your teachers to like you?"

"Sounds awesome!"

"I feel constantly disappointed about myself because I know I can do better, but I don't seem to be able to."

"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."

"I actually just got my grade up from a C to an A-"

"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 Don't know yesterday and today I just Felt sad when I woke up."

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

"I have funeral I'm going to, ACT stuff is being shoved in my head, I have 4 college classes to keep up on, skills USA is coming up and I've been nominated to participate, and I have two jobs"

"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"

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

"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"

"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"

"0 - I’m super sad. What do you do if nobody likes you?"

"How do I deal with stress?"

"All my friends watch tiktoks instead of doing hw and brag about it, it's like, high school culture to just procrastinate and brag about having bad grades and no sleep and everything and it doesn't click to me. But yeah I love my friends but I wish I could meet some that are more like me."

"There's a lot on my to do list and I feel it piling up"

"I get bullied a lot"

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

"I enjoy all of this information"

"I miss my dad, he seems to be the only one who calm me down lately. And i'm stuck in my room breaking down while trying finishing assignments before the quarter ends so i don't have a bad grade, and i just need him to be here."

"How do I increase self-confidence while performing or just stage fright in general?"

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