Real conversations with your students.

"I want girls to like me"

"my older sister and i got into an argument and she moved out so i had to step up as older sister and then my dad kicked my mom out so i feel like i have a lot of pressure on me"

"These tips will probably help a lot for now - I'd love to stay in touch, and I'll reach out if I'm struggling again (probably sooner rather than later 😅) thank you so so much"

"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 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"

"I Don't know yesterday and today I just Felt sad when I woke up."

"That’s good, I’ll try to do that today with my friends."

"I appreciate it 😊most definitely👍"

"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"

"That's really comforting, thank you!"

"The bullying has been happening for a few weeks and I honestly don't know why. Me and another girl got a note directed towards me called me a f---ing retard and behind my back this kid called me an ugly a--hole. i try not to let it bother me though it's not super important cos (this sounds weird and far fetched ik) likeeeeeee why would he call me ugly unless he thought i have a higher opinion of myself then that, so he prolly knows i couldn't care less about his words like they hurt but i know he's verbally abused at home and i don't put up with it and he can't handle not having the right reactions from me."

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

"I'm stressed with my grades still. Normally I have all A's but I have a C in math that I've been trying to get up but I don't get the unit I missed"

"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"

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

"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."

"thank you, you too!!"

"How do I deal with very opinionated friends?"

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

"you're so right !! i'm kind of doubting the relationship because it has a lot to do w/ me trusting him!"

"How do I get rid of a friend that is mean and is taking all of my friends"

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

"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."

"I have a question, I have a friend who hasn't been making the best choices and so I've been trying to stop being friends with her how do I do that without hurting her feelings?"

"I’m doing better now, thank you!"

"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."

"that sounds perfect!! thank you for your advice 🥰 i think i'm gonna do that"

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

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

"How do I deal with friends that keep fighting and get me in the middle of their drama?"
