Real conversations with your students.

"Thank you so much for listening, sometimes I just feel like nobody is listening or understands."

"Yeah, my aunt took a stroke, the doctors didn’t know why and it wasn’t looking very good. She had a severe brain bleed and their hope was that her brain would swell and stop the bleeding. But 12 hours later her brain was still bleeding. She had a 3% chance of pulling through but by 8 last night she was brain dead so they took her off life support and around 4 this morning she passed"

"How do I deal with stress?"

"You've been so helpful"

"yeah totally! thanks for your help (:"

"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"

"it's all good!! just been thinking ab school & life in general. it's all stressful"

"I want girls to like me"

"Wowwww thats so cool!"

"I'm dealing with the suicide of a family member- how do I cope?"

"thank you, you too!!"

"thank you so much! i will reach out if i need to 🥰"

"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"

"im sad i aint at school i wanna kill my self"

"I have been feeling just really down"

"“Thank you so much for your support!”"

"Thank you, I love getting messages that make me stop what I'm doing and think about things that leave me in a more positive attitude than before!"

"Why do I feel the need to hide who I really am from my friends? I end up resenting them because they're talking to the person I pretend to be, and it feels fake because I'm fake around them"

"The end of the quarter is kinda sucky rn"

"How do I make a paper airplane?"

"idk. i just get sad randomly sometimes like my depression will just come and hit me out of nowhere when i'm feeling fine. and my doctor thought i might be bipolar but the psychologist said i wasn't so yeh. idk i'm just kinda weird lol"

"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."

"That is true. I'm just happy that I'm able to help him"

"Idk 😂 I am the oldest in my family and I am struggling with the idea of leaving for college. I kinda just try to not think about it but then I end up not doing the things that I need to do like apply for scholarships. When I do think about it I cry though😅 I love my family and I don't want to loose what we have but I also want to continue to grow and got to college ya know?"

"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."

"Should I get help if I feel anxious most of the time?"

"thanks, that's really nice to hear honestly. I hope you have a great day"

"How do you get your teachers to like you?"

"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"

"I don't really have any hobbies. I just work a lot. I work at a mexican restaurant i've climbed before but i don't do it often. I don’t really have motivation to do anything lately."
