Real conversations with your students.
"it's all good!! just been thinking ab school & life in general. it's all stressful"
"How do you get your teachers to like you?"
"I listened to your most recent podcast about confidence, and I thought it was epic.🤙 I had a question that's related to it about something I've been dealing with recently. I already typed it up to explain the situation, and it is very long haha. Is that alright...?"
"I have a math test tomorrow and that's the only class holding me back from my 4.0 and if I don't do good I'll lose it"
"0 - I’m super sad. What do you do if nobody likes you?"
"Thanks for the wonderful advice"
"i have another question. how do you feel good about yourself and things you are good at without seeming self centered?"
"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.”"
"How do I deal with friends that keep fighting and get me in the middle of their drama?"
"Ok thanks for your help 😀"
"Sounds good! I really appreciate you talking to me. It means a ton to me and I had a good time. Thank you. Have a good night."
"My friends say I talk too much, any tips on how to talk less?"
"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"
"The bullying has been happening for a few weeks and I honestly don't know why. Me and another girl got a note directed towards me called me a f---ing retard and behind my back this kid called me an ugly a--hole. i try not to let it bother me though it's not super important cos (this sounds weird and far fetched ik) likeeeeeee why would he call me ugly unless he thought i have a higher opinion of myself then that, so he prolly knows i couldn't care less about his words like they hurt but i know he's verbally abused at home and i don't put up with it and he can't handle not having the right reactions from me."
"I have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"
"Thank you so much. This program really is amazing!"
"Thank you so much for listening, sometimes I just feel like nobody is listening or understands."
"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."
"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"
"Okay, thank you🤎"
"thank you so much! i will reach out if i need to 🥰"
"Okay sweet! there’s kind of a back story to it all to explain, as well as this being the first time I’ve gotten into this subject with anyone, so I’ll do that first if that's all good."
"this is actually helping me a lot😂 so thank you !"
"You're welcome! 😉 But thanks to you too 😁"
"How do I deal with very opinionated friends?"
"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"
"The end of the quarter is kinda sucky rn"
"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???"
"That’s a great idea thank you, honestly, I really appreciate it.”"
"Yes you too!! Thanks for helping me feel better"
