Real conversations with your students.
"I just dont rlly have anyone i can talk or relate to. Idk just feeling lonely and a little overwhelmed."
"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 feel bad talking to my parents, because I know they will still love me if I let my grades drop and they'll always support me, but it does feel like to much pressure sometimes, especially since my older brother was so good when it came to grades and academic performance. And I'm not close enough with any of my teachers to share this kind of stuff with them...that's a good way to look at it, thank you.”"
"I have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"
"What can I do to improve my mood?"
"I have a lot of family problems. My parents are getting a divorce."
"My boyfriend broke up with me"
"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"
"The end of the quarter is kinda sucky rn"
"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 just got rejected by a girl 😂"
"i'm failing all my classes"
"I like that, I think that’s a good point, thank you for your input"
"Kind of because I don't know where J belong"
"Okay, thank you🤎"
"“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"
"im sad i aint at school i wanna kill my self"
"i have another question. how do you feel good about yourself and things you are good at without seeming self centered?"
"There's a lot on my to do list and I feel it piling up"
"thanks, that's really nice to hear honestly. I hope you have a great day"
"How do you get your teachers to like you?"
"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"
"I actually just got my grade up from a C to an A-"
"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"
"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."
"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 😅"
"Sounds awesome!"
"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...?"
"I don’t enjoy my life anymore.I mess everything up. I dont like it. My life is painful and since then I've had 2 suicide attempts. Been like this since mid 2019"
