Real conversations with your students.
"Thank you so much for listening, sometimes I just feel like nobody is listening or understands."
"How do I increase self-confidence while performing or just stage fright in general?"
"yes i really think being friends with her will be the best option. and thank you very much! Thank you for helping me think of new things to do to help myself!"
"I love music, thank you! Thank you so much for ur help"
"I have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"
"I'm dealing with the suicide of a family member- how do I cope?"
"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"
"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???"
"How do I deal with friends that keep fighting and get me in the middle of their drama?"
"I want girls to like me"
"Okay, thank you🤎"
"I am very sad and don't feel like attending class."
"that sounds perfect!! thank you for your advice 🥰 i think i'm gonna do that"
"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"
"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"
"i have another question. how do you feel good about yourself and things you are good at without seeming self centered?"
"“Thank you so much for your support!”"
"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.”"
"Your advice really helped! Now I feel that my friends want to be around me more. 🙂"
"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"
"i'm failing all my classes"
"I’m feeling nervous"
"this is actually helping me a lot😂 so thank 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)"
"I totally agree thanks!"
"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've been feeling a bit stressed, I work full time. And also have been struggling to take out a motor I've bought from the junk yard."
"What can I do to improve my mood?"
"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"
"That's really comforting, thank you!"
