Conversations

Real conversations with your students.

"I’m stressed, I’m taking the ACT in 6 days"

"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"

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

"Will do😀👍"

"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...?"

"That's really comforting, thank you!"

"I get bullied a lot"

"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'm grateful for you, and my family. Thanks for being here for me!! You're awesome ”"

"this is actually helping me a lot😂 so thank you !"

"yeah he's this guy i met thru my friends family. & we almost dated but then he ghosted me & i think he's still on & off w his ex. he plays w my feelings bc i saw him yesterday for the first time in over a month & he acted like we were still talking & everything & it was weird. so i'm not sure if o should move on or keep hoping he'll choose me"

"I love music, thank you! Thank you so much for ur help"

"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.”"

"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"

"i have another question. how do you feel good about yourself and things you are good at without seeming self centered?"

"I like that, I think that’s a good point, thank you for your input"

"You're welcome! 😉 But thanks to you too 😁"

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

"I just dont rlly have anyone i can talk or relate to. Idk just feeling lonely and a little overwhelmed."

"I miss my dad, he seems to be the only one who calm me down lately. And i'm stuck in my room breaking down while trying finishing assignments before the quarter ends so i don't have a bad grade, and i just need him to be here."

"I have been feeling just really down"

"How do I make a paper airplane?"

"Most definitely, I'm happy to hear whatever you've got to say"

"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"

"thank you, you too!!"

"0 - I’m super sad. What do you do if nobody likes you?"

"Idk, family life has gotten a little better for him, but his sisters make him feel worthless, and when his parents get after him, they yell at him so much, he feels like cutting. I always manage to make his feel better, but, I really just don't like his mom the most. She manipulates him to fo what she wants, and it just breaks him"

"How do I increase self-confidence while performing or just stage fright in general?"

"I think you're a genius, you just helped me sooooo much, thank you."

"I’m having major body image issues, and I can't focus on school because all I think about is how ugly I am"
