Real conversations with your students.
"hey, so i have this friend who i don't want to be friends with anymore but i don't know what to do?"
"Should I get help if I feel anxious most of the time?"
"I have a lot of family problems. My parents are getting a divorce."
"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"
"I like that, I think that’s a good point, thank you for your input"
"What can I do to improve my mood?"
"it's all good!! just been thinking ab school & life in general. it's all stressful"
"I love music, thank you! Thank you so much for ur help"
"Guess what? I aced my test, 100/100!"
"I’m having major body image issues, and I can't focus on school because all I think about is how ugly I am"
"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."
"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."
"thank you, you too!!"
"thanks, that's really nice to hear honestly. I hope you have a great day"
"My friends say I talk too much, any tips on how to talk less?"
"Do you think I have depression?"
"Sounds awesome!"
"The end of the quarter is kinda sucky rn"
"Wowwww thats so cool!"
"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"
"Your advice really helped! Now I feel that my friends want to be around me more. 🙂"
"I don't feel an intimate connection to anyone in my life and being in the general vicinity of people gives me extreme anxiety."
"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."
"i'm failing all my classes"
"That's really comforting, thank you!"
"Well thank you amazing human too! It's so awesome that you take time to talk to strangers and brighten their day through this program. Keep it up! Have a great day"
"Lately I've started liking this guy in my friend group and he's really nice and everyone I know loves him but my best friend and it's been making me feel super guilty because she doesn't like being around him. I'm not really sure what to do about it though because I'm trying really hard to not pressure her and talk about him around her but I still feel like its causing a strain in our friendship"
"How do I increase self-confidence while performing or just stage fright in general?"
"“I'm grateful for you, and my family. Thanks for being here for me!! You're awesome ”"
"I want girls to like me"
