Real conversations with your students.
"Guess what? I aced my test, 100/100!"
"I also want your opinion on something real quick: Which one should I get. Two lockets. One is a heart and the other’s an oval. They’re both the same amount. Which one should I get? The heart is the most popular, but oval is more sentimental to some?"
"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"
"you're so right !! i'm kind of doubting the relationship because it has a lot to do w/ me trusting him!"
"Okay, thank you🤎"
"I Don't know yesterday and today I just Felt sad when I woke up."
"i'm failing all my classes"
"hey, so i have this friend who i don't want to be friends with anymore but i don't know what to do?"
"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)"
"“I'm grateful for you, and my family. Thanks for being here for me!! You're awesome ”"
"this is actually helping me a lot😂 so thank you !"
"That is true. I'm just happy that I'm able to help him"
"Yea I'm so relieved now, thank you!"
"Yes you too!! Thanks for helping me feel better"
"Ok I'm scared for my speech in leadership"
"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's really comforting, thank you!"
"yeah totally! thanks for your help (:"
"I’m stressed, I’m taking the ACT in 6 days"
"I've been feeling a bit stressed, I work full time. And also have been struggling to take out a motor I've bought from the junk yard."
"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."
"Should I get help if I feel anxious most of the time?"
"I’m doing better now, thank you!"
"thank you so much! i will reach out if i need to 🥰"
"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"
"Most definitely, I'm happy to hear whatever you've got to say"
"thanks, that's really nice to hear honestly. I hope you have a great day"
"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!"
"My boyfriend broke up with me"
"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"
