Real conversations with your students.
"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"
"I have a lot of family problems. My parents are getting a divorce."
"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"
"hey, so i have this friend who i don't want to be friends with anymore but i don't know what to do?"
"you're so right !! i'm kind of doubting the relationship because it has a lot to do w/ me trusting him!"
"“I'm grateful for you, and my family. Thanks for being here for me!! You're awesome ”"
"How do I increase self-confidence while performing or just stage fright in general?"
"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🤷🏻♂️"
"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’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."
"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"
"How do you get your teachers to like you?"
"“I have tried to talk a little bit to my parents but I didnt like seeing them upset, plus they are already worried about me to much as it is, I dont want to add more weight on them anymore. And I dont trust the counselors anymore”"
"I get bullied a lot"
"How do I deal with very opinionated friends?"
"I enjoy all of this information"
"The end of the quarter is kinda sucky rn"
"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"
"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 feel constantly disappointed about myself because I know I can do better, but I don't seem to be able to."
"thanks, that's really nice to hear honestly. I hope you have a great day"
"it's all good!! just been thinking ab school & life in general. it's all stressful"
"That is true. I'm just happy that I'm able to help him"
"I’m feeling nervous"
"Guess what? I aced my test, 100/100!"
"I have been feeling just really down"
"I just got rejected by a girl 😂"
"i want to stay friends with the girl i just talked to. we work at the same place and she's the only one who's ever been very kind to me. i just feel like my friends are very manipulative of me so i feel like i should just tell them that i'm wanting to take a break and focus on my mental health and happiness"
"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 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"
