Real conversations with your students.
"I think you're a genius, you just helped me sooooo much, thank you."
"You're welcome! 😉 But thanks to you too 😁"
"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 feel constantly disappointed about myself because I know I can do better, but I don't seem to be able to."
"That's a good idea thanks"
"Okay so uh I've been thinking a lot about suicide recently, about how there isn't really any point to doing anything because you're just surviving to be ruled by someone else - I made a suicide poem and like know how I would do it and where and what I would dress in but I know I won't do it if that makes any sense? Idk what to feel"
"I have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"
"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!"
"You've been so helpful"
"Should I get help if I feel anxious most of the time?"
"it's all good!! just been thinking ab school & life in general. it's all stressful"
"hey, so i have this friend who i don't want to be friends with anymore but i don't know what to do?"
"yeah totally! thanks for your help (:"
"thank you! i'm kinda stuck right now & i don't know what to do about this boy! i really like him & we've dated in the past but needed to break up to work on ourselves. we just recently decided to try again because obviously we still like & care for each other! but last night, i found out while we were broken up he did some bad things that he shouldn't have! he regrets it & says he was forced into it. at the end of the day you are responsible for the decision you make & no one can 'force' you🤷🏽♀️ i've been thinking about this all day & it makes me sick:( i know it shouldn't affect me this bad because we were broken up but i don't know if i can move past this! he's told me he is sorry SOO many times but it just hurts me:("
"Thank you so much for the help and advice!"
"I've been feeling a bit stressed, I work full time. And also have been struggling to take out a motor I've bought from the junk yard."
"I lost my whole friend group of 4 years. I think that they were just so toxic. i wasn't invited to anything unless i texted them. i would leave with extreme anxiety and no one would ask me if i was ok. and they've all just changed since i met them. we don't have the same values or morals anymore"
"How do you get rid of a sore throat?"
"I have a question, I have a friend who hasn't been making the best choices and so I've been trying to stop being friends with her how do I do that without hurting her feelings?"
"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"
"What can I do to improve my mood?"
"0 - I’m super sad. What do you do if nobody likes you?"
"Well for one I'm just sad a lot of the time, I guess we could call that depression at this point, and I often act happy and good natured, and I'm trying to transition away from the religion of the masses here in St George, but I don't expect any of them to be able to understand, so I keep it to myself. Whenever I talk to them I feel like I'm constantly filtering what I really want to say because they wouldn't be ok with it"
"i have another question. how do you feel good about yourself and things you are good at without seeming self centered?"
"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"
"What do you do if nobody likes you"
"you're so right !! i'm kind of doubting the relationship because it has a lot to do w/ me trusting him!"
"Most definitely, I'm happy to hear whatever you've got to say"
"that sounds perfect!! thank you for your advice 🥰 i think i'm gonna do that"
"I turned in the test today, wish me luck."
