Real conversations with your students.
"Sounds awesome!"
"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"
"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???"
"Do you think I have depression?"
"hey thanks im sorry im just being bullied at school and i told the counselor and he's been helping me but it's only getting worse"
"What can I do to improve my mood?"
"Why do I feel the need to hide who I really am from my friends? I end up resenting them because they're talking to the person I pretend to be, and it feels fake because I'm fake around them"
"Ya those are really awesome tips, thank u so much! Ima screenshot it so I don't forget - I appreciate your help, it's really nice to have someone to talk to 😅"
"I totally agree thanks!"
"I love music, thank you! Thank you so much for ur help"
"“Thats a good idea! Ive never tried that. Usually each day I just get a 1-2 hour nap...Alright i will definitely have to! Thank you so much”"
"I can't help in my classroom, we are online"
"that sounds perfect!! thank you for your advice 🥰 i think i'm gonna do that"
"Okay sweet! there’s kind of a back story to it all to explain, as well as this being the first time I’ve gotten into this subject with anyone, so I’ll do that first if that's all good."
"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 friends mom passed away and I don't really know what to say to him. I don't want to sound insensitive but I don't what to sound pitiful, so any advice?"
"Thank you so much for the help and advice!"
"My sister has depression, what can I do to help her?"
"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."
"I like that, I think that’s a good point, thank you for your input"
"0 - I’m super sad. What do you do if nobody likes you?"
"it's all good!! just been thinking ab school & life in general. it's all stressful"
"I have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"
"How do I increase self-confidence while performing or just stage fright in general?"
"Soo, the other day I got into a really heated argument with my best friend's mom, because they kinda make my friend feel down. I went to confront her, but it turned into an argument. I said some things I'm not too proud of, and wrote her an apology note, but um. I still feel sick from what I said."
"You've been so helpful"
"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"
"How do I deal with very opinionated friends?"
"“I'm grateful for you, and my family. Thanks for being here for me!! You're awesome ”"
"thank you so much! i will reach out if i need to 🥰"
