Real conversations with your students.
"I’m stressed, I’m taking the ACT in 6 days"
"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"
"this is actually helping me a lot😂 so thank you !"
"I get bullied a lot"
"Guess what? I aced my test, 100/100!"
"What can I do to improve my mood?"
"Idk, family life has gotten a little better for him, but his sisters make him feel worthless, and when his parents get after him, they yell at him so much, he feels like cutting. I always manage to make his feel better, but, I really just don't like his mom the most. She manipulates him to fo what she wants, and it just breaks him"
"you're so right !! i'm kind of doubting the relationship because it has a lot to do w/ me trusting him!"
"My friends say I talk too much, any tips on how to talk less?"
"I have a lot of family problems. My parents are getting a divorce."
"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."
"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?"
"“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 just got rejected by a girl 😂"
"I enjoy all of this information"
"thanks, that's really nice to hear honestly. I hope you have a great day"
"I’m doing better now, thank you!"
"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."
"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 sister has depression, what can I do to help her?"
"There's a lot on my to do list and I feel it piling up"
"Thank you so much. This program really is amazing!"
"I'm stressed with my grades still. Normally I have all A's but I have a C in math that I've been trying to get up but I don't get the unit I missed"
"I totally agree thanks!"
"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."
"That is true. I'm just happy that I'm able to help him"
"How do I deal with very opinionated friends?"
"I’m feeling nervous"
"That's really comforting, thank you!"
"im sad i aint at school i wanna kill my self"
