Real conversations with your students.
"I just dont rlly have anyone i can talk or relate to. Idk just feeling lonely and a little overwhelmed."
"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"
"I’m having major body image issues, and I can't focus on school because all I think about is how ugly I am"
"That’s good, I’ll try to do that today with my friends."
"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"

"I don't feel an intimate connection to anyone in my life and being in the general vicinity of people gives me extreme anxiety."
"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."
"How do I make and keep friends?"
"I think you're a genius, you just helped me sooooo much, thank you."

"Do you think I have depression?"
"My friends mom passed away and I don't really know what to say to him. I don't want to sound insensitive but I don't what to sound pitiful, so any advice?"
