Real conversations with your students.
"Do you think I have depression?"
"You've been so helpful"
"The end of the quarter is kinda sucky rn"
"it's all good!! just been thinking ab school & life in general. it's all stressful"
"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 am very sad and don't feel like attending class."
"Idk 😂 I am the oldest in my family and I am struggling with the idea of leaving for college. I kinda just try to not think about it but then I end up not doing the things that I need to do like apply for scholarships. When I do think about it I cry though😅 I love my family and I don't want to loose what we have but I also want to continue to grow and got to college ya know?"
"I just got rejected by a girl 😂"
"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’m doing better now, thank you!"
"That’s good, I’ll try to do that today with my friends."
"thank you, you too!!"
"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"
"Thanks for the wonderful advice"
"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"
"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"
"thanks, that's really nice to hear honestly. I hope you have a great day"
"I just dont rlly have anyone i can talk or relate to. Idk just feeling lonely and a little overwhelmed."
"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!"
"How do you get your teachers to like you?"
"I turned in the test today, wish me luck."
"I have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"
"What can I do to improve my mood?"
"That's really comforting, thank you!"
"That's a very structured way of looking at it, I think that would be a great start"
"you're so right !! i'm kind of doubting the relationship because it has a lot to do w/ me trusting him!"
"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"
"My sister has depression, what can I do to help her?"
"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 think you're a genius, you just helped me sooooo much, thank you."
