Real conversations with your students.
"My sister has depression, what can I do to help her?"
"Yeah, my aunt took a stroke, the doctors didn’t know why and it wasn’t looking very good. She had a severe brain bleed and their hope was that her brain would swell and stop the bleeding. But 12 hours later her brain was still bleeding. She had a 3% chance of pulling through but by 8 last night she was brain dead so they took her off life support and around 4 this morning she passed"
"The end of the quarter is kinda sucky rn"
"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"
"i want to stay friends with the girl i just talked to. we work at the same place and she's the only one who's ever been very kind to me. i just feel like my friends are very manipulative of me so i feel like i should just tell them that i'm wanting to take a break and focus on my mental health and happiness"
"How do I get rid of a friend that is mean and is taking all of my friends"
"I have a lot of family problems. My parents are getting a divorce."
"My friends say I talk too much, any tips on how to talk less?"

"I appreciate it 😊most definitely👍"
"yeah totally! thanks for your help (:"
"I have been feeling just really down"
"Okay, thank you🤎"
"I like that, I think that’s a good point, thank you for your input"
"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"
"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?"
"What do you do if nobody likes you"
"Your advice really helped! Now I feel that my friends want to be around me more. 🙂"
"Sounds awesome!"
"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"
"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"

"I have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"
"All my friends watch tiktoks instead of doing hw and brag about it, it's like, high school culture to just procrastinate and brag about having bad grades and no sleep and everything and it doesn't click to me. But yeah I love my friends but I wish I could meet some that are more like me."
"im sad i aint at school i wanna kill my self"
"My friends mom passed away and I don't really know what to say to him. I don't want to sound insensitive but I don't what to sound pitiful, so any advice?"
