Real conversations with your students.
"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"
"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!"
"I miss my dad, he seems to be the only one who calm me down lately. And i'm stuck in my room breaking down while trying finishing assignments before the quarter ends so i don't have a bad grade, and i just need him to be here."
"I’m feeling nervous"
"I have a lot of family problems. My parents are getting a divorce."
"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???"
"“I'm grateful for you, and my family. Thanks for being here for me!! You're awesome ”"
"I get bullied a lot"
"I turned in the test today, wish me luck."
"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)"
"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"
"I want girls to like me"
"that sounds perfect!! thank you for your advice 🥰 i think i'm gonna do that"
"I totally agree thanks!"
"my older sister and i got into an argument and she moved out so i had to step up as older sister and then my dad kicked my mom out so i feel like i have a lot of pressure on me"
"How do I get rid of a friend that is mean and is taking all of my friends"
"I’m having major body image issues, and I can't focus on school because all I think about is how ugly I am"
"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 enjoy all of this information"
"Man are u a real person? Also I am burnt out. But answer both questions plez"
"i have another question. how do you feel good about yourself and things you are good at without seeming self centered?"
"idk. i just get sad randomly sometimes like my depression will just come and hit me out of nowhere when i'm feeling fine. and my doctor thought i might be bipolar but the psychologist said i wasn't so yeh. idk i'm just kinda weird lol"
"I appreciate it 😊most definitely👍"
"Will do😀👍"
"i'm failing all my classes"
"How do I feel better"
"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"
"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 have been feeling just really down"
"hey, so i have this friend who i don't want to be friends with anymore but i don't know what to do?"
