Real conversations with your students.
"I'm dealing with the suicide of a family member- how do I cope?"
"Should I get help if I feel anxious most of the time?"
"Do you think I have depression?"
"I don't really have any hobbies. I just work a lot. I work at a mexican restaurant i've climbed before but i don't do it often. I don’t really have motivation to do anything lately."
"That’s good, I’ll try to do that today with my friends."
"Sounds awesome!"
"That is true. I'm just happy that I'm able to help him"
"There's a lot on my to do list and I feel it piling up"
"Soo, the other day I got into a really heated argument with my best friend's mom, because they kinda make my friend feel down. I went to confront her, but it turned into an argument. I said some things I'm not too proud of, and wrote her an apology note, but um. I still feel sick from what I said."
"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"
"How do you get rid of a sore throat?"
"The end of the quarter is kinda sucky rn"
"Most definitely, I'm happy to hear whatever you've got to say"
"Kind of because I don't know where J belong"
"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."
"I feel constantly disappointed about myself because I know I can do better, but I don't seem to be able to."
"You're welcome! 😉 But thanks to you too 😁"
"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"
"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 get bullied a lot"
"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"
"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🤷🏻♂️"
"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"
"I enjoy all of this information"
"I don't feel an intimate connection to anyone in my life and being in the general vicinity of people gives me extreme anxiety."
"How do I get rid of a friend that is mean and is taking all of my friends"
"Guess what? I aced my test, 100/100!"
"Sometimes people don't tell me things because they don't want to hurt my feelings,but the fact they don't tell me hurts my feelings. What should I tell them?"
"“I'm grateful for you, and my family. Thanks for being here for me!! You're awesome ”"
"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???"
