"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."

"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."
"How do you get rid of a sore throat?"
"Do you think I have depression?"
"Well thank you amazing human too! It's so awesome that you take time to talk to strangers and brighten their day through this program. Keep it up! Have a great day"
"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🤷🏻♂️"

"How do I deal with stress?"
"that sounds perfect!! thank you for your advice 🥰 i think i'm gonna do that"
"it's all good!! just been thinking ab school & life in general. it's all stressful"
"i have another question. how do you feel good about yourself and things you are good at without seeming self centered?"
"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!"
"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"
"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?"

"What do you do if nobody likes you"
"I enjoy all of this information"
"hey, so i have this friend who i don't want to be friends with anymore but i don't know what to do?"
"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."
"I can't help in my classroom, we are online"
"How do I deal with friends that keep fighting and get me in the middle of their drama?"
