Real conversations with your students.
"i'm failing all my classes"
"I am very sad and don't feel like attending class."
"I just got rejected by a girl 😂"
"Thank you for being here for the students, it's great to have a person to talk to. Here's a little expression of my gratitude in video form (the audio is a little quiet so turn up the volume a little)"
"How do I get rid of a friend that is mean and is taking all of my friends"
"Thank you so much. This program really is amazing!"
"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"
"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"
"Idk 😂 I am the oldest in my family and I am struggling with the idea of leaving for college. I kinda just try to not think about it but then I end up not doing the things that I need to do like apply for scholarships. When I do think about it I cry though😅 I love my family and I don't want to loose what we have but I also want to continue to grow and got to college ya know?"
"im sad i aint at school i wanna kill my self"
"I just dont rlly have anyone i can talk or relate to. Idk just feeling lonely and a little overwhelmed."
"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!"
"How do I make and keep friends?"
"i have another question. how do you feel good about yourself and things you are good at without seeming self centered?"
"Most definitely, I'm happy to hear whatever you've got to say"
"Yes you too!! Thanks for helping me feel better"
"My best friend texted me saying she is fed up with me hurting her feelings and being mean, I don't know what I've done and apologized if I've ever done anything not on purpose. She said apparently I did something on purpose and I should know what it is. Now she won't talk to me and I'm still confused. Any advice???"
"thanks, that's really nice to hear honestly. I hope you have a great day"
"“I'm grateful for you, and my family. Thanks for being here for me!! You're awesome ”"
"That’s good, I’ll try to do that today with my friends."
"How do I make a paper airplane?"
"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:("
"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"
"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"
"How do I deal with very opinionated friends?"
"hey, so i have this friend who i don't want to be friends with anymore but i don't know what to do?"
"thank you, you too!!"
"You're welcome! 😉 But thanks to you too 😁"
"Thank you so much for listening. Glad I could make your day. I dont feel comfortable talking about this with people. I am just more private of a person I suppose."
"I’m stressed, I’m taking the ACT in 6 days"
