Real conversations with your students.
"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’m stressed, I’m taking the ACT in 6 days"
"How do you get your teachers to like you?"
"I think you're a genius, you just helped me sooooo much, thank 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 Don't know yesterday and today I just Felt sad when I woke up."
"“Thank you so much for your support!”"
"Ok thanks for your help 😀"
"hey, so i have this friend who i don't want to be friends with anymore but i don't know what to do?"
"i have another question. how do you feel good about yourself and things you are good at without seeming self centered?"
"thank you so much! i will reach out if i need to 🥰"
"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?"
"hey thanks im sorry im just being bullied at school and i told the counselor and he's been helping me but it's only getting worse"
"well, the overbearing feeling that everyone around is making you feel like you aren't good enough, like you're not deserving of the same kind of love if you're different"
"I’m doing better now, thank you!"
"I appreciate it 😊most definitely👍"
"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!"

"Thank you so much for the help and advice!"
"I just got rejected by a girl 😂"
"I just dont rlly have anyone i can talk or relate to. Idk just feeling lonely and a little overwhelmed."
"Kind of because I don't know where J belong"
