Real conversations with your students.
"Quite a bit, a lot has changed for my recently, I told my parents about wanting to disassociate myself from their religion, and that's been just difficult because I'm trying to figure out what to believe, I recently gave up pornography as well, and it's been such a struggle without it, I've had an addiction to it for a few years now, so everyday life just seems much harder than usual, and as the end of the quarter nears my schoolwork is just ridiculous, so it's been quite hard to feel happy these past couple weeks"
"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"
"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"
"Thank you so much for listening. Glad I could make your day. I dont feel comfortable talking about this with people. I am just more private of a person I suppose."
"Guess what? I aced my test, 100/100!"
"There's a lot on my to do list and I feel it piling up"
"Sometimes people don't tell me things because they don't want to hurt my feelings,but the fact they don't tell me hurts my feelings. What should I tell them?"
"that sounds perfect!! thank you for your advice 🥰 i think i'm gonna do that"
"this is actually helping me a lot😂 so thank you !"
"Do you think I have depression?"
"“I have tried to talk a little bit to my parents but I didnt like seeing them upset, plus they are already worried about me to much as it is, I dont want to add more weight on them anymore. And I dont trust the counselors anymore”"
"i'm failing all my classes"
"I like that, I think that’s a good point, thank you for your input"
"I love music, thank you! Thank you so much for ur help"
"yeah totally! thanks for your help (:"
"Sounds awesome!"
"Should I get help if I feel anxious most of the time?"
"I enjoy all of this information"
"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"
"Thanks for the wonderful advice"
"“Thank you so much for your support!”"
"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"
"I get bullied a lot"
"Sounds good! I really appreciate you talking to me. It means a ton to me and I had a good time. Thank you. Have a good night."
"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!"
"That’s a great idea thank you, honestly, I really appreciate it.”"
"How do I feel better"
"How do you get rid of a sore throat?"
"Thank you so much for listening, sometimes I just feel like nobody is listening or understands."
"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 😅"
