Real conversations with your students.
"The end of the quarter is kinda sucky rn"
"Will do😀👍"
"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 also want your opinion on something real quick: Which one should I get. Two lockets. One is a heart and the other’s an oval. They’re both the same amount. Which one should I get? The heart is the most popular, but oval is more sentimental to some?"
"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."
"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"
"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"
"How do I feel better"
"I have a lot of family problems. My parents are getting a divorce."
"Thank you so much for listening, sometimes I just feel like nobody is listening or understands."
"Ok thanks for your help 😀"
"I get bullied a lot"
"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 ”"
"I totally agree thanks!"
"I just got rejected by a girl 😂"
"You're welcome! 😉 But thanks to you too 😁"
"How do I deal with friends that keep fighting and get me in the middle of their drama?"
"Sometimes people don't tell me things because they don't want to hurt my feelings,but the fact they don't tell me hurts my feelings. What should I tell them?"
"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."
"There's a lot on my to do list and I feel it piling up"
"I’m having major body image issues, and I can't focus on school because all I think about is how ugly I am"
"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"
"What do you do if nobody likes you"
"it's all good!! just been thinking ab school & life in general. it's all stressful"
"What can I do to improve my mood?"
"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?"
"I’m doing better now, thank you!"
"Wowwww thats so cool!"
"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."
