Real conversations with your students.
"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!"
"yeah he's this guy i met thru my friends family. & we almost dated but then he ghosted me & i think he's still on & off w his ex. he plays w my feelings bc i saw him yesterday for the first time in over a month & he acted like we were still talking & everything & it was weird. so i'm not sure if o should move on or keep hoping he'll choose me"
"I listened to your most recent podcast about confidence, and I thought it was epic.🤙 I had a question that's related to it about something I've been dealing with recently. I already typed it up to explain the situation, and it is very long haha. Is that alright...?"
"You're welcome! 😉 But thanks to you too 😁"
"There's a lot on my to do list and I feel it piling up"
"i don't know i just missed two weeks of school due to COVID and my grades are suffering and i can't find the motivation to work. I lose my 4.0 this year already to one A- and now i kinda feel like a failure"
"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"
"That's a very structured way of looking at it, I think that would be a great start"
"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"
"I have a lot of family problems. My parents are getting a divorce."
"it's all good!! just been thinking ab school & life in general. it's all stressful"
"I’m stressed, I’m taking the ACT in 6 days"
"Man are u a real person? Also I am burnt out. But answer both questions plez"
"this kid said he loves me and i don't know how i feel!!! like he's so sweet but i just can't say it. it's hurting my brain"
"That's really comforting, thank you!"
"Thank you, I love getting messages that make me stop what I'm doing and think about things that leave me in a more positive attitude than before!"
"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"
"this is actually helping me a lot😂 so thank you !"
"I feel constantly disappointed about myself because I know I can do better, but I don't seem to be able to."
"What do you do if nobody likes you"
"Thank you for being here for the students, it's great to have a person to talk to. Here's a little expression of my gratitude in video form (the audio is a little quiet so turn up the volume a little)"
"Guess what? I aced my test, 100/100!"
"Ya those are really awesome tips, thank u so much! Ima screenshot it so I don't forget - I appreciate your help, it's really nice to have someone to talk to 😅"
"How do you get your teachers to like you?"
"I totally agree thanks!"
"You've been so helpful"
"You too, have a great rest of the day😁"
"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"
"Yes you too!! Thanks for helping me feel better"
"Your advice really helped! Now I feel that my friends want to be around me more. 🙂"
