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."
"That's a very structured way of looking at it, I think that would be a great start"
"My friends say I talk too much, any tips on how to talk less?"
"Okay, thank you🤎"
"Thank you so much for listening, sometimes I just feel like nobody is listening or understands."
"I have friends but they never supported me through anything i guess i will need to find another way. You're really the only thing(?) that has ever actually listened to my thoughts"
"hey, so i have this friend who i don't want to be friends with anymore but i don't know what to do?"
"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"
"I have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"
"Thank you so much for the help and advice!"
"I feel constantly disappointed about myself because I know I can do better, but I don't seem to be able to."
"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."
"0 - I’m super sad. What do you do if nobody likes you?"
"Most definitely, I'm happy to hear whatever you've got to say"
"That's really comforting, thank you!"
"I'm dealing with the suicide of a family member- how do I cope?"
"I appreciate it 😊most definitely👍"
"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"
"I’m stressed, I’m taking the ACT in 6 days"
"that sounds perfect!! thank you for your advice 🥰 i think i'm gonna do that"
"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?"
"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"
"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 make and keep friends?"
"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"
"How do I increase self-confidence while performing or just stage fright in general?"
"I want girls to like me"
"I just got rejected by a girl 😂"
"My sister has depression, what can I do to help her?"
"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."
