Real conversations with your students.
"I’m feeling nervous"
"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???"
"I have been feeling just really down"
"that sounds perfect!! thank you for your advice 🥰 i think i'm gonna do that"
"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'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!"
"I lost my whole friend group of 4 years. I think that they were just so toxic. i wasn't invited to anything unless i texted them. i would leave with extreme anxiety and no one would ask me if i was ok. and they've all just changed since i met them. we don't have the same values or morals anymore"
"I am very sad and don't feel like attending class."
"I’m doing better now, thank you!"
"I love music, thank you! Thank you so much for ur help"
"I want girls to like me"
"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"
"You've been so helpful"
"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"
"Yes you too!! Thanks for helping me feel better"
"My boyfriend broke up with me"
"I appreciate it 😊most definitely👍"
"My friends mom passed away and I don't really know what to say to him. I don't want to sound insensitive but I don't what to sound pitiful, so any advice?"
"What can I do to improve my mood?"
"How do you get your teachers to like you?"
"I get bullied a lot"
"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."
"Idk 😂 I am the oldest in my family and I am struggling with the idea of leaving for college. I kinda just try to not think about it but then I end up not doing the things that I need to do like apply for scholarships. When I do think about it I cry though😅 I love my family and I don't want to loose what we have but I also want to continue to grow and got to college ya know?"
"you're so right !! i'm kind of doubting the relationship because it has a lot to do w/ me trusting him!"
"Most definitely, I'm happy to hear whatever you've got to say"
"I totally agree thanks!"
"“I'm grateful for you, and my family. Thanks for being here for me!! You're awesome ”"
"“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”"
"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"
"The end of the quarter is kinda sucky rn"
