Real conversations with your students.
"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"
"Do you think I have depression?"
"Your advice really helped! Now I feel that my friends want to be around me more. 🙂"
"I think you're a genius, you just helped me sooooo much, thank you."
"“I'm grateful for you, and my family. Thanks for being here for me!! You're awesome ”"
"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 appreciate it 😊most definitely👍"
"How do you get your teachers to like you?"
"My friends say I talk too much, any tips on how to talk less?"
"I miss my dad, he seems to be the only one who calm me down lately. And i'm stuck in my room breaking down while trying finishing assignments before the quarter ends so i don't have a bad grade, and i just need him to be here."
"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"
"Yes you too!! Thanks for helping me feel better"
"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"
"You're welcome! 😉 But thanks to you too 😁"
"Okay, thank you🤎"
"I'm dealing with the suicide of a family member- how do I cope?"
"hey, so i have this friend who i don't want to be friends with anymore but i don't know what to do?"
"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."
"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."
"How do I make and keep friends?"
"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?"
"Sounds awesome!"
"I have been feeling just really down"
"that sounds perfect!! thank you for your advice 🥰 i think i'm gonna do that"
"Man are u a real person? Also I am burnt out. But answer both questions plez"
"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."
"How do I deal with very opinionated friends?"
"How do you get rid of a sore throat?"
"Guess what? I aced my test, 100/100!"
