Real conversations with your students.
"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:("
"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?"
"thanks, that's really nice to hear honestly. I hope you have a great day"
"Lately I've started liking this guy in my friend group and he's really nice and everyone I know loves him but my best friend and it's been making me feel super guilty because she doesn't like being around him. I'm not really sure what to do about it though because I'm trying really hard to not pressure her and talk about him around her but I still feel like its causing a strain in our friendship"
"That’s good, I’ll try to do that today with my friends."
"How do I get rid of a friend that is mean and is taking all of my friends"
"My boyfriend broke up with me"
"I like that, I think that’s a good point, thank you for your input"
"Thank you so much for the help and advice!"
"What do you do if nobody likes you"
"How do you get rid of a sore throat?"
"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."
"I turned in the test today, wish me luck."
"Yea I'm so relieved now, thank you!"
"i have another question. how do you feel good about yourself and things you are good at without seeming self centered?"
"I can't help in my classroom, we are online"
"i don't know i just missed two weeks of school due to COVID and my grades are suffering and i can't find the motivation to work. I lose my 4.0 this year already to one A- and now i kinda feel like a failure"
"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 actually just got my grade up from a C to an A-"
"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?"
"I appreciate it 😊most definitely👍"
"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.”"
"that sounds perfect!! thank you for your advice 🥰 i think i'm gonna do that"
"this kid said he loves me and i don't know how i feel!!! like he's so sweet but i just can't say it. it's hurting my brain"
"How do you get your teachers to like you?"
"i'm failing all my classes"
"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"
"Should I get help if I feel anxious most of the time?"
"I’m doing better now, thank you!"
