Real conversations with your students.
"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 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"
"Thank you so much. This program really is amazing!"
"That's really comforting, thank you!"
"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"
"How do I increase self-confidence while performing or just stage fright in general?"
"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."
"I'll try to gain the courage to talk to someone irl, if not I'll come back to talk to you- it's easy to release over text honestly 😅"
"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."
"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🤷🏻♂️"
"My sister has depression, what can I do to help her?"
"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"
"How do I feel better"
"That’s good, I’ll try to do that today with my friends."
"you're so right !! i'm kind of doubting the relationship because it has a lot to do w/ me trusting him!"
"Wowwww thats so cool!"
"That's a very structured way of looking at it, I think that would be a great start"
"“Thank you so much for your support!”"
"I'm stressed with my grades still. Normally I have all A's but I have a C in math that I've been trying to get up but I don't get the unit I missed"
"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!"
"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"
"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"
"Okay, thank you🤎"
"How do I make and keep friends?"
"I just dont rlly have anyone i can talk or relate to. Idk just feeling lonely and a little overwhelmed."
"How do I deal with friends that keep fighting and get me in the middle of their drama?"
"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???"
"I just got rejected by a girl 😂"
"“Thats a good idea! Ive never tried that. Usually each day I just get a 1-2 hour nap...Alright i will definitely have to! Thank you so much”"
