Real conversations with your students.
"im sad i aint at school i wanna kill my self"
"Guess what? I aced my test, 100/100!"
"that sounds perfect!! thank you for your advice 🥰 i think i'm gonna do that"
"this kid said he loves me and i don't know how i feel!!! like he's so sweet but i just can't say it. it's hurting my brain"
"I can't help in my classroom, we are online"
"I have been feeling just really down"
"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"
"I’m stressed, I’m taking the ACT in 6 days"
"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 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.”"
"The bullying has been happening for a few weeks and I honestly don't know why. Me and another girl got a note directed towards me called me a f---ing retard and behind my back this kid called me an ugly a--hole. i try not to let it bother me though it's not super important cos (this sounds weird and far fetched ik) likeeeeeee why would he call me ugly unless he thought i have a higher opinion of myself then that, so he prolly knows i couldn't care less about his words like they hurt but i know he's verbally abused at home and i don't put up with it and he can't handle not having the right reactions from me."
"I think you're a genius, you just helped me sooooo much, thank you."
"Most definitely, I'm happy to hear whatever you've got to say"
"I feel constantly disappointed about myself because I know I can do better, but I don't seem to be able to."
"I’m feeling nervous"
"this is actually helping me a lot😂 so thank you !"
"What can I do to improve my mood?"
"Lately I've started liking this guy in my friend group and he's really nice and everyone I know loves him but my best friend and it's been making me feel super guilty because she doesn't like being around him. I'm not really sure what to do about it though because I'm trying really hard to not pressure her and talk about him around her but I still feel like its causing a strain in our friendship"
"yeah he's this guy i met thru my friends family. & we almost dated but then he ghosted me & i think he's still on & off w his ex. he plays w my feelings bc i saw him yesterday for the first time in over a month & he acted like we were still talking & everything & it was weird. so i'm not sure if o should move on or keep hoping he'll choose me"
"Thank you for being here for the students, it's great to have a person to talk to. Here's a little expression of my gratitude in video form (the audio is a little quiet so turn up the volume a little)"
"you're so right !! i'm kind of doubting the relationship because it has a lot to do w/ me trusting him!"
"How do I deal with friends that keep fighting and get me in the middle of their drama?"
"I enjoy all of this information"
"I totally agree thanks!"
"yeah totally! thanks for your help (:"
"thanks, that's really nice to hear honestly. I hope you have a great day"
"Yea I'm so relieved now, thank you!"
"That’s a great idea thank you, honestly, I really appreciate it.”"
"I have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"
"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."
