Real conversations with your students.
"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"
"I’m having major body image issues, and I can't focus on school because all I think about is how ugly I am"
"Thank you so much for listening. Glad I could make your day. I dont feel comfortable talking about this with people. I am just more private of a person I suppose."
"I have been feeling just really down"
"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...?"
"I lost my whole friend group of 4 years. I think that they were just so toxic. i wasn't invited to anything unless i texted them. i would leave with extreme anxiety and no one would ask me if i was ok. and they've all just changed since i met them. we don't have the same values or morals anymore"
"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.”"
"Thank you so much. This program really is amazing!"
"That’s good, I’ll try to do that today with my friends."
"How do I deal with friends that keep fighting and get me in the middle of their drama?"
"Guess what? I aced my test, 100/100!"
"thank you so much! i will reach out if i need to 🥰"
"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?"
"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"
"im sad i aint at school i wanna kill my self"
"Should I get help if I feel anxious most of the time?"
"Will do😀👍"
"you're so right !! i'm kind of doubting the relationship because it has a lot to do w/ me trusting him!"
"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"
"“I'm grateful for you, and my family. Thanks for being here for me!! You're awesome ”"
"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'm dealing with the suicide of a family member- how do I cope?"
"How do you get your teachers to like you?"
"Sometimes people don't tell me things because they don't want to hurt my feelings,but the fact they don't tell me hurts my feelings. What should I tell them?"
"How do you get rid of a sore throat?"
"I feel constantly disappointed about myself because I know I can do better, but I don't seem to be able to."
"I can't help in my classroom, we are online"
"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"
"that sounds perfect!! thank you for your advice 🥰 i think i'm gonna do that"
"I just dont rlly have anyone i can talk or relate to. Idk just feeling lonely and a little overwhelmed."
