Real conversations with your students.
"You've been so helpful"
"I am very sad and don't feel like attending class."
"Thank you so much for the help and advice!"
"I turned in the test today, wish me luck."
"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"
"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"
"What do you do if nobody likes you"
"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, I’m taking the ACT in 6 days"
"You're welcome! 😉 But thanks to you too 😁"
"Will do😀👍"
"Kind of because I don't know where J belong"
"I Don't know yesterday and today I just Felt sad when I woke up."
"My sister has depression, what can I do to help her?"
"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."
"Wowwww thats so cool!"
"I totally agree thanks!"
"Yea I'm so relieved now, thank you!"
"I appreciate it 😊most definitely👍"
"i have another question. how do you feel good about yourself and things you are good at without seeming self centered?"
"“I'm grateful for you, and my family. Thanks for being here for me!! You're awesome ”"
"I get bullied a lot"
"Okay sweet! there’s kind of a back story to it all to explain, as well as this being the first time I’ve gotten into this subject with anyone, so I’ll do that first if that's all good."
"How do I deal with friends that keep fighting and get me in the middle of their drama?"
"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"
"Your advice really helped! Now I feel that my friends want to be around me more. 🙂"
"I have a math test tomorrow and that's the only class holding me back from my 4.0 and if I don't do good I'll lose it"
"Okay, thank you🤎"
"My boyfriend broke up with me"
"I think you're a genius, you just helped me sooooo much, thank you."
