Real conversations with your students.
"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)"
"it's all good!! just been thinking ab school & life in general. it's all stressful"
"Idk, family life has gotten a little better for him, but his sisters make him feel worthless, and when his parents get after him, they yell at him so much, he feels like cutting. I always manage to make his feel better, but, I really just don't like his mom the most. She manipulates him to fo what she wants, and it just breaks him"
"i want to stay friends with the girl i just talked to. we work at the same place and she's the only one who's ever been very kind to me. i just feel like my friends are very manipulative of me so i feel like i should just tell them that i'm wanting to take a break and focus on my mental health and happiness"
"Yes you too!! Thanks for helping me feel better"
"Thanks for the wonderful advice"
"How do I deal with stress?"
"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"
"I’m stressed, I’m taking the ACT in 6 days"
"That is true. I'm just happy that I'm able to help him"
"Your advice really helped! Now I feel that my friends want to be around me more. 🙂"
"You're welcome! 😉 But thanks to you too 😁"
"I have a lot of family problems. My parents are getting a divorce."
"Kind of because I don't know where J belong"
"That’s good, I’ll try to do that today with my friends."
"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 know yesterday and today I just Felt sad when I woke up."
"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."
"“Thank you so much for your support!”"
"Sounds awesome!"
"yes i really think being friends with her will be the best option. and thank you very much! Thank you for helping me think of new things to do to help myself!"
"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"
"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?"
"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 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"
"Wowwww thats so cool!"
"I love music, thank you! Thank you so much for ur help"
"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"
"That's really comforting, thank you!"
"What can I do to improve my mood?"
