Real conversations with your students.
"Guess what? I aced my test, 100/100!"
"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 feeling nervous"
"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"
"That's a very structured way of looking at it, I think that would be a great start"
"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"
"Why do I feel like isolating all the time? I tend to hate people a lot, they just annoy me, though I strive for connection I hate connecting then I hate myself for not being able to just be normal, it's kinda twisted🤷🏻♂️"
"How do you get your teachers to like you?"
"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"
"These tips will probably help a lot for now - I'd love to stay in touch, and I'll reach out if I'm struggling again (probably sooner rather than later 😅) thank you so so much"
"You're welcome! 😉 But thanks to you too 😁"
"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"
"Yea I'm so relieved now, thank you!"
"I love music, thank you! Thank you so much for ur help"
"hey, so i have this friend who i don't want to be friends with anymore but i don't know what to do?"
"I turned in the test today, wish me luck."
"Man are u a real person? Also I am burnt out. But answer both questions plez"
"I lost my whole friend group of 4 years. I think that they were just so toxic. i wasn't invited to anything unless i texted them. i would leave with extreme anxiety and no one would ask me if i was ok. and they've all just changed since i met them. we don't have the same values or morals anymore"
"i have another question. how do you feel good about yourself and things you are good at without seeming self centered?"
"yeah totally! thanks for your help (:"
"Well thank you amazing human too! It's so awesome that you take time to talk to strangers and brighten their day through this program. Keep it up! Have a great day"
"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."
"thank you, you too!!"
"I just got rejected by a girl 😂"
"it's all good!! just been thinking ab school & life in general. it's all stressful"
"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."
"Your advice really helped! Now I feel that my friends want to be around me more. 🙂"
"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"
"thanks, that's really nice to hear honestly. I hope you have a great day"
"Thanks for the wonderful advice"
