"How do I deal with stress?"

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

"thank you, you too!!"

"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"

"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."

"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.”"

"You've been so helpful"

"“Thats a good idea! Ive never tried that. Usually each day I just get a 1-2 hour nap...Alright i will definitely have to! Thank you so much”"

"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"

"“I have tried to talk a little bit to my parents but I didnt like seeing them upset, plus they are already worried about me to much as it is, I dont want to add more weight on them anymore. And I dont trust the counselors anymore”"

"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"

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

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

"How do you get rid of a sore throat?"

"Kind of because I don't know where J belong"

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

"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"

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

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

"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???"

"Do you think I have depression?"

"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"

"Quite a bit, a lot has changed for my recently, I told my parents about wanting to disassociate myself from their religion, and that's been just difficult because I'm trying to figure out what to believe, I recently gave up pornography as well, and it's been such a struggle without it, I've had an addiction to it for a few years now, so everyday life just seems much harder than usual, and as the end of the quarter nears my schoolwork is just ridiculous, so it's been quite hard to feel happy these past couple weeks"

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

"Ok I'm scared for my speech in leadership"

"I have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"

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

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

"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"

"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."
