Real conversations with your students.
"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???"
"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🤷🏻♂️"
"I am very sad and don't feel like attending class."
"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."
"yes i really think being friends with her will be the best option. and thank you very much! Thank you for helping me think of new things to do to help myself!"
"You too, have a great rest of the day😁"
"Will do😀👍"
"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 😅"
"How do I feel better"
"Thanks for the wonderful advice"
"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"
"Ok I'm scared for my speech in leadership"
"0 - I’m super sad. What do you do if nobody likes you?"
"I’m feeling nervous"
"I just dont rlly have anyone i can talk or relate to. Idk just feeling lonely and a little overwhelmed."
"I’m stressed, I’m taking the ACT in 6 days"
"That’s good, I’ll try to do that today with my friends."
"I Don't know yesterday and today I just Felt sad when I woke up."
"That’s a great idea thank you, honestly, I really appreciate it.”"
"Soo, the other day I got into a really heated argument with my best friend's mom, because they kinda make my friend feel down. I went to confront her, but it turned into an argument. I said some things I'm not too proud of, and wrote her an apology note, but um. I still feel sick from what I said."
"You're welcome! 😉 But thanks to you too 😁"
"You've been so helpful"
"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."
"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 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?"
"Sounds awesome!"
"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 don't really have any hobbies. I just work a lot. I work at a mexican restaurant i've climbed before but i don't do it often. I don’t really have motivation to do anything lately."
"There's a lot on my to do list and I feel it piling up"
"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.”"
