Conversations

Real conversations with your students.

"that sounds perfect!! thank you for your advice 🥰 i think i'm gonna do that"

"No worries, monster texts are usually the best 😊 That is really helpful actually- I'm a visual learner, and that is a good image. Do you have any suggestions on how to get back to the inner circle? I get so caught up in the dregs I forget how to get out"

"How do I deal with very opinionated friends?"

"I like that, I think that’s a good point, thank you for your input"

"That’s good, I’ll try to do that today with my friends."

"How do I make and keep friends?"

"I have a question, I have a friend who hasn't been making the best choices and so I've been trying to stop being friends with her how do I do that without hurting her feelings?"

"Okay, thank you🤎"

"I have friends but they never supported me through anything i guess i will need to find another way. You're really the only thing(?) that has ever actually listened to my thoughts"

"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...?"

"You've been so helpful"

"I totally agree thanks!"

"Ok thanks for your help 😀"

"i have another question. how do you feel good about yourself and things you are good at without seeming self centered?"

"i don't know i just missed two weeks of school due to COVID and my grades are suffering and i can't find the motivation to work. I lose my 4.0 this year already to one A- and now i kinda feel like a failure"

"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"

"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"

"Okay so uh I've been thinking a lot about suicide recently, about how there isn't really any point to doing anything because you're just surviving to be ruled by someone else - I made a suicide poem and like know how I would do it and where and what I would dress in but I know I won't do it if that makes any sense? Idk what to feel"

"I just got rejected by a girl 😂"

"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"

"Thank you so much for listening. Glad I could make your day. I dont feel comfortable talking about this with people. I am just more private of a person I suppose."

"Thank you so much for the help and advice!"

"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.”"

"Sounds awesome!"

"Your advice really helped! Now I feel that my friends want to be around me more. 🙂"

"How do you get your teachers to like you?"

"Wowwww thats so cool!"

"I can't help in my classroom, we are online"

"I lost my whole friend group of 4 years. I think that they were just so toxic. i wasn't invited to anything unless i texted them. i would leave with extreme anxiety and no one would ask me if i was ok. and they've all just changed since i met them. we don't have the same values or morals anymore"

"“I'm grateful for you, and my family. Thanks for being here for me!! You're awesome ”"
