Real conversations with your students.

"I have a lot of family problems. My parents are getting a divorce."

"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'm failing all my classes"

"Idk, family life has gotten a little better for him, but his sisters make him feel worthless, and when his parents get after him, they yell at him so much, he feels like cutting. I always manage to make his feel better, but, I really just don't like his mom the most. She manipulates him to fo what she wants, and it just breaks him"

"i want to stay friends with the girl i just talked to. we work at the same place and she's the only one who's ever been very kind to me. i just feel like my friends are very manipulative of me so i feel like i should just tell them that i'm wanting to take a break and focus on my mental health and happiness"

"I don’t enjoy my life anymore.I mess everything up. I dont like it. My life is painful and since then I've had 2 suicide attempts. Been like this since mid 2019"

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

"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"

"yes i really think being friends with her will be the best option. and thank you very much! Thank you for helping me think of new things to do to help myself!"

"thanks, that's really nice to hear honestly. I hope you have a great day"

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

"How do I deal with friends that keep fighting and get me in the middle of their drama?"

"Wowwww thats so cool!"

"Should I get help if I feel anxious most of the time?"

"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...?"

"Kind of because I don't know where J belong"

"I’m stressed, I’m taking the ACT in 6 days"

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

"How do I get rid of a friend that is mean and is taking all of my friends"

"Ok I'm scared for my speech in leadership"

"I just dont rlly have anyone i can talk or relate to. Idk just feeling lonely and a little overwhelmed."

"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?"

"The end of the quarter is kinda sucky rn"

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

"Do you think I have depression?"

"I have funeral I'm going to, ACT stuff is being shoved in my head, I have 4 college classes to keep up on, skills USA is coming up and I've been nominated to participate, and I have two jobs"

"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!"

"Guess what? I aced my test, 100/100!"

"I’m having major body image issues, and I can't focus on school because all I think about is how ugly I am"

"How do I make a paper airplane?"
