Real conversations with your students.
"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"
"I’m doing better now, thank you!"
"That's a very structured way of looking at it, I think that would be a great start"
"I appreciate it 😊most definitely👍"
"How do I deal with stress?"
"Thank you so much for the help and advice!"
"I have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"
"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"
"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."
"I don't feel an intimate connection to anyone in my life and being in the general vicinity of people gives me extreme anxiety."
"How do you get rid of a sore throat?"
"Thanks for the wonderful advice"
"“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”"
"My boyfriend broke up with me"
"Ok I'm scared for my speech in leadership"
"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!"
"Thank you so much for listening, sometimes I just feel like nobody is listening or understands."
"I'll try to gain the courage to talk to someone irl, if not I'll come back to talk to you- it's easy to release over text honestly 😅"
"I just dont rlly have anyone i can talk or relate to. Idk just feeling lonely and a little overwhelmed."
"No worries, monster texts are usually the best 😊 That is really helpful actually- I'm a visual learner, and that is a good image. Do you have any suggestions on how to get back to the inner circle? I get so caught up in the dregs I forget how to get out"
"“I'm grateful for you, and my family. Thanks for being here for me!! You're awesome ”"
"How do I get rid of a friend that is mean and is taking all of my friends"
"The end of the quarter is kinda sucky rn"
"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."
"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."
"I enjoy all of this information"
"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."
"What do you do if nobody likes you"
"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"
