Real conversations with your students.
"Okay, thank you🤎"
"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"
"You're welcome! 😉 But thanks to you too 😁"
"it's all good!! just been thinking ab school & life in general. it's all stressful"
"I Don't know yesterday and today I just Felt sad when I woke up."
"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?"
"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"
"That's really comforting, thank you!"
"I think you're a genius, you just helped me sooooo much, thank you."
"What do you do if nobody likes you"
"Thank you for being here for the students, it's great to have a person to talk to. Here's a little expression of my gratitude in video form (the audio is a little quiet so turn up the volume a little)"
"Soo, the other day I got into a really heated argument with my best friend's mom, because they kinda make my friend feel down. I went to confront her, but it turned into an argument. I said some things I'm not too proud of, and wrote her an apology note, but um. I still feel sick from what I said."
"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"
"Wowwww thats so cool!"
"How do I make a paper airplane?"
"I’m having major body image issues, and I can't focus on school because all I think about is how ugly I am"
"hey thanks im sorry im just being bullied at school and i told the counselor and he's been helping me but it's only getting worse"
"“Thank you so much for your support!”"
"I listened to your most recent podcast about confidence, and I thought it was epic.🤙 I had a question that's related to it about something I've been dealing with recently. I already typed it up to explain the situation, and it is very long haha. Is that alright...?"
"I feel bad talking to my parents, because I know they will still love me if I let my grades drop and they'll always support me, but it does feel like to much pressure sometimes, especially since my older brother was so good when it came to grades and academic performance. And I'm not close enough with any of my teachers to share this kind of stuff with them...that's a good way to look at it, thank you.”"
"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"
"Your advice really helped! Now I feel that my friends want to be around me more. 🙂"
"thank you so much! i will reach out if i need to 🥰"
"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 deal with very opinionated friends?"
"That's a good idea thanks"
"You too, have a great rest of the day😁"
"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."
"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"
"im sad i aint at school i wanna kill my self"
