Real conversations with your students.
"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."
"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 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"
"My sister has depression, what can I do to help her?"
"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"
"What can I do to improve my mood?"
"How do I increase self-confidence while performing or just stage fright in general?"
"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"
"I’m doing better now, thank you!"
"All my friends watch tiktoks instead of doing hw and brag about it, it's like, high school culture to just procrastinate and brag about having bad grades and no sleep and everything and it doesn't click to me. But yeah I love my friends but I wish I could meet some that are more like me."
"Kind of because I don't know where J belong"
"You've been so helpful"
"You're welcome! 😉 But thanks to you too 😁"
"I have been feeling just really down"
"I want girls to like me"
"I totally agree thanks!"
"I am very sad and don't feel like attending class."
"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"
"Thank you so much for listening, sometimes I just feel like nobody is listening or understands."
"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"
"How do I deal with very opinionated friends?"
"Wowwww thats so cool!"
"How do I make and keep friends?"
"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."
"How do you get rid of a sore throat?"
"I'll try to gain the courage to talk to someone irl, if not I'll come back to talk to you- it's easy to release over text honestly 😅"
"I have a lot of family problems. My parents are getting a divorce."
"i want to stay friends with the girl i just talked to. we work at the same place and she's the only one who's ever been very kind to me. i just feel like my friends are very manipulative of me so i feel like i should just tell them that i'm wanting to take a break and focus on my mental health and happiness"
"How do I deal with stress?"
"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...?"
