Real conversations with your students.
"I don't really have any hobbies. I just work a lot. I work at a mexican restaurant i've climbed before but i don't do it often. I don’t really have motivation to do anything lately."
"My friends say I talk too much, any tips on how to talk less?"
"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"
"I’m feeling nervous"
"You're welcome! 😉 But thanks to you too 😁"
"That’s a great idea thank you, honestly, I really appreciate it.”"
"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:("
"What do you do if nobody likes you"
"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"
"What can I do to improve my mood?"
"I'm dealing with the suicide of a family member- how do I cope?"
"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!"
"How do I deal with stress?"
"Ok thanks for your help 😀"
"I was home from school for two weeks because I was depressed because my parents divorced this summer and I moved and haven't been feeling belonged at school"
"Kind of because I don't know where J belong"
"I’m doing better now, thank you!"
"Yea I'm so relieved now, thank you!"
"I Don't know yesterday and today I just Felt sad when I woke up."
"“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”"
"Do you think I have depression?"
"yeah totally! thanks for your help (:"
"idk. i just get sad randomly sometimes like my depression will just come and hit me out of nowhere when i'm feeling fine. and my doctor thought i might be bipolar but the psychologist said i wasn't so yeh. idk i'm just kinda weird lol"
"That is true. I'm just happy that I'm able to help him"
"Okay, thank you🤎"
"Will do😀👍"
"that sounds perfect!! thank you for your advice 🥰 i think i'm gonna do that"
"thanks, that's really nice to hear honestly. I hope you have a great day"
"I have funeral I'm going to, ACT stuff is being shoved in my head, I have 4 college classes to keep up on, skills USA is coming up and I've been nominated to participate, and I have two jobs"
