Real conversations with your students.
"Should I get help if I feel anxious most of the time?"
"How do I deal with stress?"
"thanks, that's really nice to hear honestly. I hope you have a great day"
"i have another question. how do you feel good about yourself and things you are good at without seeming self centered?"
"I feel constantly disappointed about myself because I know I can do better, but I don't seem to be able to."
"You've been so helpful"
"How do I increase self-confidence while performing or just stage fright in general?"
"im sad i aint at school i wanna kill my self"
"I was home from school for two weeks because I was depressed because my parents divorced this summer and I moved and haven't been feeling belonged at school"
"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"
