Real conversations with your students.
"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"
"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"
"You've been so helpful"
"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"
"Wowwww thats so cool!"
"Do you think I have depression?"
"i don't know i just missed two weeks of school due to COVID and my grades are suffering and i can't find the motivation to work. I lose my 4.0 this year already to one A- and now i kinda feel like a failure"
"i'm failing all my classes"
"My friends say I talk too much, any tips on how to talk less?"
"I don't really have any hobbies. I just work a lot. I work at a mexican restaurant i've climbed before but i don't do it often. I don’t really have motivation to do anything lately."
"Should I get help if I feel anxious most of the time?"
"I don't feel an intimate connection to anyone in my life and being in the general vicinity of people gives me extreme anxiety."
"“Thank you so much for your support!”"
"you're so right !! i'm kind of doubting the relationship because it has a lot to do w/ me trusting him!"
"idk. i just get sad randomly sometimes like my depression will just come and hit me out of nowhere when i'm feeling fine. and my doctor thought i might be bipolar but the psychologist said i wasn't so yeh. idk i'm just kinda weird lol"
"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 😅"
"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"
"I am very sad and don't feel like attending class."
"How do you get rid of a sore throat?"
"I think you're a genius, you just helped me sooooo much, thank you."
"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"
"That’s good, I’ll try to do that today with my friends."
"I feel constantly disappointed about myself because I know I can do better, but I don't seem to be able to."
"I appreciate it 😊most definitely👍"
"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?"
"that sounds perfect!! thank you for your advice 🥰 i think i'm gonna do that"
