Real conversations with your students.
"No worries, monster texts are usually the best 😊 That is really helpful actually- I'm a visual learner, and that is a good image. Do you have any suggestions on how to get back to the inner circle? I get so caught up in the dregs I forget how to get out"
"That’s good, I’ll try to do that today with my friends."
"that sounds perfect!! thank you for your advice 🥰 i think i'm gonna do that"
"I just dont rlly have anyone i can talk or relate to. Idk just feeling lonely and a little overwhelmed."
"“Thank you so much for your support!”"
"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'm grateful for you, and my family. Thanks for being here for me!! You're awesome ”"
"I appreciate it 😊most definitely👍"
"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."
"How do I deal with very opinionated friends?"
"well, the overbearing feeling that everyone around is making you feel like you aren't good enough, like you're not deserving of the same kind of love if you're different"
"I can't help in my classroom, we are online"
"thank you! i'm kinda stuck right now & i don't know what to do about this boy! i really like him & we've dated in the past but needed to break up to work on ourselves. we just recently decided to try again because obviously we still like & care for each other! but last night, i found out while we were broken up he did some bad things that he shouldn't have! he regrets it & says he was forced into it. at the end of the day you are responsible for the decision you make & no one can 'force' you🤷🏽♀️ i've been thinking about this all day & it makes me sick:( i know it shouldn't affect me this bad because we were broken up but i don't know if i can move past this! he's told me he is sorry SOO many times but it just hurts me:("
"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"
"Sounds awesome!"
"I’m having major body image issues, and I can't focus on school because all I think about is how ugly I am"
"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."
"I think you're a genius, you just helped me sooooo much, thank you."
"Thank you so much for the help and advice!"
"That's a very structured way of looking at it, I think that would be a great start"
"I'm dealing with the suicide of a family member- how do I cope?"
"Idk 😂 I am the oldest in my family and I am struggling with the idea of leaving for college. I kinda just try to not think about it but then I end up not doing the things that I need to do like apply for scholarships. When I do think about it I cry though😅 I love my family and I don't want to loose what we have but I also want to continue to grow and got to college ya know?"
"I’m doing better now, thank you!"
"I get bullied a lot"
"My boyfriend broke up with me"
"I’m stressed, I’m taking the ACT in 6 days"
"Ok thanks for your help 😀"
"I enjoy all of this information"
"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"
"Thank you so much for listening, sometimes I just feel like nobody is listening or understands."
