Real conversations with your students.
"Thank you so much for listening, sometimes I just feel like nobody is listening or understands."
"I have been feeling just really down"
"That's a very structured way of looking at it, I think that would be a great start"
"yeah he's this guy i met thru my friends family. & we almost dated but then he ghosted me & i think he's still on & off w his ex. he plays w my feelings bc i saw him yesterday for the first time in over a month & he acted like we were still talking & everything & it was weird. so i'm not sure if o should move on or keep hoping he'll choose me"
"Your advice really helped! Now I feel that my friends want to be around me more. 🙂"
"I am very sad and don't feel like attending class."
"“Thank you so much for your support!”"
"Sounds awesome!"
"im sad i aint at school i wanna kill my self"
"I’m feeling nervous"
"How do I deal with very opinionated friends?"
"Why do I feel like isolating all the time? I tend to hate people a lot, they just annoy me, though I strive for connection I hate connecting then I hate myself for not being able to just be normal, it's kinda twisted🤷🏻♂️"
"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."
"I enjoy all of this information"
"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 😅"
"Why do I feel the need to hide who I really am from my friends? I end up resenting them because they're talking to the person I pretend to be, and it feels fake because I'm fake around them"
"I don't really have any hobbies. I just work a lot. I work at a mexican restaurant i've climbed before but i don't do it often. I don’t really have motivation to do anything lately."
"You've been so helpful"
"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?"
"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 😅"
"How do I make a paper airplane?"
"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!"
"“I have tried to talk a little bit to my parents but I didnt like seeing them upset, plus they are already worried about me to much as it is, I dont want to add more weight on them anymore. And I dont trust the counselors anymore”"
"Most definitely, I'm happy to hear whatever you've got to say"
"I have friends but they never supported me through anything i guess i will need to find another way. You're really the only thing(?) that has ever actually listened to my thoughts"
"I can't help in my classroom, we are online"
"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"
"thanks, that's really nice to hear honestly. I hope you have a great day"
"I actually just got my grade up from a C to an A-"
"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"
