Real conversations with your students.
"I get bullied a lot"
"These tips will probably help a lot for now - I'd love to stay in touch, and I'll reach out if I'm struggling again (probably sooner rather than later 😅) thank you so so much"
"I listened to your most recent podcast about confidence, and I thought it was epic.🤙 I had a question that's related to it about something I've been dealing with recently. I already typed it up to explain the situation, and it is very long haha. Is that alright...?"
"How do I make a paper airplane?"
"How do I deal with friends that keep fighting and get me in the middle of their drama?"
"I appreciate it 😊most definitely👍"
"I don't feel an intimate connection to anyone in my life and being in the general vicinity of people gives me extreme anxiety."
"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"
"Yea I'm so relieved now, thank you!"
"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."
"“Thank you so much for your support!”"
"im sad i aint at school i wanna kill my self"
"That's a good thought, everyone has something to contribute, sometimes it's just hard to see my part when others seem to have so much more to contribute than I do, I appreciate your help, this program is a really great idea!"
"My boyfriend broke up with me"
"What can I do to improve my mood?"
"“I'm grateful for you, and my family. Thanks for being here for me!! You're awesome ”"
"Your advice really helped! Now I feel that my friends want to be around me more. 🙂"
"That is true. I'm just happy that I'm able to help him"
"How do I get rid of a friend that is mean and is taking all of my friends"
"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"
"Sounds awesome!"
"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"
"I also want your opinion on something real quick: Which one should I get. Two lockets. One is a heart and the other’s an oval. They’re both the same amount. Which one should I get? The heart is the most popular, but oval is more sentimental to some?"
"How do I deal with very opinionated friends?"
"I enjoy all of this information"
"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🤷🏻♂️"
"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"
"Will do😀👍"
"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)"
"Okay so uh I've been thinking a lot about suicide recently, about how there isn't really any point to doing anything because you're just surviving to be ruled by someone else - I made a suicide poem and like know how I would do it and where and what I would dress in but I know I won't do it if that makes any sense? Idk what to feel"
