Real conversations with your students.
"Ok thanks for your help 😀"
"That's a good idea thanks"
"I think you're a genius, you just helped me sooooo much, thank you."
"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."
"My best friend texted me saying she is fed up with me hurting her feelings and being mean, I don't know what I've done and apologized if I've ever done anything not on purpose. She said apparently I did something on purpose and I should know what it is. Now she won't talk to me and I'm still confused. Any advice???"
"I feel constantly disappointed about myself because I know I can do better, but I don't seem to be able to."
"How do I feel better"
"yeah totally! thanks for your help (:"
"Okay so uh I've been thinking a lot about suicide recently, about how there isn't really any point to doing anything because you're just surviving to be ruled by someone else - I made a suicide poem and like know how I would do it and where and what I would dress in but I know I won't do it if that makes any sense? Idk what to feel"
"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"
"There's a lot on my to do list and I feel it piling up"
"I just got rejected by a girl 😂"
"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 have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"
"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"
"What do you do if nobody likes you"
"“I'm grateful for you, and my family. Thanks for being here for me!! You're awesome ”"
"Well for one I'm just sad a lot of the time, I guess we could call that depression at this point, and I often act happy and good natured, and I'm trying to transition away from the religion of the masses here in St George, but I don't expect any of them to be able to understand, so I keep it to myself. Whenever I talk to them I feel like I'm constantly filtering what I really want to say because they wouldn't be ok with it"
"You're welcome! 😉 But thanks to you too 😁"
"Yes you too!! Thanks for helping me feel better"
"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"
"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"
"I appreciate it 😊most definitely👍"
"you're so right !! i'm kind of doubting the relationship because it has a lot to do w/ me trusting him!"
"I’m stressed, I’m taking the ACT in 6 days"
"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 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"
"I’m having major body image issues, and I can't focus on school because all I think about is how ugly I am"
"I’m feeling nervous"
"That's a very structured way of looking at it, I think that would be a great start"
