Conversations

Real conversations with your students.

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

"Sounds awesome!"

"I enjoy all of this information"

"hey, so i have this friend who i don't want to be friends with anymore but i don't know what to do?"

"That’s good, I’ll try to do that today with my friends."

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

"I miss my dad, he seems to be the only one who calm me down lately. And i'm stuck in my room breaking down while trying finishing assignments before the quarter ends so i don't have a bad grade, and i just need him to be here."

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

"that sounds perfect!! thank you for your advice 🥰 i think i'm gonna do that"

"How do I increase self-confidence while performing or just stage fright in general?"

"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.”"

"How do I feel better"

"Will do😀👍"

"That's a very structured way of looking at it, I think that would be a great start"

"Thank you so much for the help and advice!"

"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."

"I'm dealing with the suicide of a family member- how do I cope?"

"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"

"Well for one I'm just sad a lot of the time, I guess we could call that depression at this point, and I often act happy and good natured, and I'm trying to transition away from the religion of the masses here in St George, but I don't expect any of them to be able to understand, so I keep it to myself. Whenever I talk to them I feel like I'm constantly filtering what I really want to say because they wouldn't be ok with it"

"I have been feeling just really down"

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

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

"thank you, you too!!"

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

"My best friend texted me saying she is fed up with me hurting her feelings and being mean, I don't know what I've done and apologized if I've ever done anything not on purpose. She said apparently I did something on purpose and I should know what it is. Now she won't talk to me and I'm still confused. Any advice???"

"My friends say I talk too much, any tips on how to talk less?"

"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"
