Real conversations with your students.
"im sad i aint at school i wanna kill my self"
"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"
"That is true. I'm just happy that I'm able to help him"
"Most definitely, I'm happy to hear whatever you've got to say"
"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"
"thanks, that's really nice to hear honestly. I hope you have a great day"
"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)"
"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"
"I just got rejected by a girl 😂"
"Wowwww thats so cool!"
"My friends say I talk too much, any tips on how to talk less?"
"this is actually helping me a lot😂 so thank you !"
"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"
"that sounds perfect!! thank you for your advice 🥰 i think i'm gonna do that"
"What do you do if nobody likes you"
"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 have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"
"“Thank you so much for your support!”"
"Guess what? I aced my test, 100/100!"
"I can't help in my classroom, we are online"
"I have been feeling just really down"
"All my friends watch tiktoks instead of doing hw and brag about it, it's like, high school culture to just procrastinate and brag about having bad grades and no sleep and everything and it doesn't click to me. But yeah I love my friends but I wish I could meet some that are more like me."
"Kind of because I don't know where J belong"
"Yeah, my aunt took a stroke, the doctors didn’t know why and it wasn’t looking very good. She had a severe brain bleed and their hope was that her brain would swell and stop the bleeding. But 12 hours later her brain was still bleeding. She had a 3% chance of pulling through but by 8 last night she was brain dead so they took her off life support and around 4 this morning she passed"
"That’s good, I’ll try to do that today with my friends."
"hey thanks im sorry im just being bullied at school and i told the counselor and he's been helping me but it's only getting worse"
"Ya those are really awesome tips, thank u so much! Ima screenshot it so I don't forget - I appreciate your help, it's really nice to have someone to talk to 😅"
"Yea I'm so relieved now, thank you!"
"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"
"thank you, you too!!"
