Real conversations with your students.
"Thank you so much for the help and advice!"
"That’s good, I’ll try to do that today with 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"
"I Don't know yesterday and today I just Felt sad when I woke up."
"my older sister and i got into an argument and she moved out so i had to step up as older sister and then my dad kicked my mom out so i feel like i have a lot of pressure on me"
"How do I make a paper airplane?"
"I can't help in my classroom, we are online"
"Thank you so much for listening, sometimes I just feel like nobody is listening or understands."
"I'm dealing with the suicide of a family member- how do I cope?"
"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 a question, I have a friend who hasn't been making the best choices and so I've been trying to stop being friends with her how do I do that without hurting her feelings?"
"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?"
"I want girls to like me"
"yeah totally! thanks for your help (:"
"My sister has depression, what can I do to help her?"
"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"
"you're so right !! i'm kind of doubting the relationship because it has a lot to do w/ me trusting him!"
"That's really comforting, thank you!"
"There's a lot on my to do list and I feel it piling up"
"i'm failing all my classes"
"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 😅"
"im sad i aint at school i wanna kill my self"
"thanks, that's really nice to hear honestly. I hope you have a great day"
"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"
"You're welcome! 😉 But thanks to you too 😁"
"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'm stressed with my grades still. Normally I have all A's but I have a C in math that I've been trying to get up but I don't get the unit I missed"
"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."
"That’s a great idea thank you, honestly, I really appreciate it.”"
"i have another question. how do you feel good about yourself and things you are good at without seeming self centered?"
