Real conversations with your students.
"hey, so i have this friend who i don't want to be friends with anymore but i don't know what to do?"
"Ok thanks for your help 😀"
"No worries, monster texts are usually the best 😊 That is really helpful actually- I'm a visual learner, and that is a good image. Do you have any suggestions on how to get back to the inner circle? I get so caught up in the dregs I forget how to get out"
"“I have tried to talk a little bit to my parents but I didnt like seeing them upset, plus they are already worried about me to much as it is, I dont want to add more weight on them anymore. And I dont trust the counselors anymore”"
"Yes you too!! Thanks for helping me feel better"
"Thanks for the wonderful advice"
"yeah totally! thanks for your help (:"
"Well thank you amazing human too! It's so awesome that you take time to talk to strangers and brighten their day through this program. Keep it up! Have a great day"
"Kind of because I don't know where J belong"
"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"
"im sad i aint at school i wanna kill my self"
"I'm dealing with the suicide of a family member- how do I cope?"
"I just got rejected by a girl 😂"
"yeah he's this guy i met thru my friends family. & we almost dated but then he ghosted me & i think he's still on & off w his ex. he plays w my feelings bc i saw him yesterday for the first time in over a month & he acted like we were still talking & everything & it was weird. so i'm not sure if o should move on or keep hoping he'll choose 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?"
"Thank you so much for the help and advice!"
"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"
"I totally agree thanks!"
"Thank you so much for listening, sometimes I just feel like nobody is listening or understands."
"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"
"How do I increase self-confidence while performing or just stage fright in general?"
"I was home from school for two weeks because I was depressed because my parents divorced this summer and I moved and haven't been feeling belonged at school"
"Yea I'm so relieved now, thank you!"
"That's a good idea thanks"
"That's really comforting, thank you!"
"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!"
"That’s good, I’ll try to do that today with my friends."
"I am very sad and don't feel like attending class."
"That is true. I'm just happy that I'm able to help him"
"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"
