Real conversations with your students.
"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."
"I actually just got my grade up from a C to an A-"
"No worries, monster texts are usually the best 😊 That is really helpful actually- I'm a visual learner, and that is a good image. Do you have any suggestions on how to get back to the inner circle? I get so caught up in the dregs I forget how to get out"
"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 am very sad and don't feel like attending class."
"My sister has depression, what can I do to help her?"
"I think you're a genius, you just helped me sooooo much, thank you."
"What do you do if nobody likes you"
"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 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."
"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."
"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???"
"How do you get rid of a sore throat?"
"Thank you, I love getting messages that make me stop what I'm doing and think about things that leave me in a more positive attitude than before!"
"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"
"How do I feel better"
"I'll try to gain the courage to talk to someone irl, if not I'll come back to talk to you- it's easy to release over text honestly 😅"
"How do I increase self-confidence while performing or just stage fright in general?"
"That’s a great idea thank you, honestly, I really appreciate it.”"
"Do you think I have depression?"
"Sounds good! I really appreciate you talking to me. It means a ton to me and I had a good time. Thank you. Have a good night."
"You're welcome! 😉 But thanks to you too 😁"
"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"
"All my friends watch tiktoks instead of doing hw and brag about it, it's like, high school culture to just procrastinate and brag about having bad grades and no sleep and everything and it doesn't click to me. But yeah I love my friends but I wish I could meet some that are more like me."
"That is true. I'm just happy that I'm able to help him"
"you're so right !! i'm kind of doubting the relationship because it has a lot to do w/ me trusting him!"
"That's a good idea thanks"
"“I'm grateful for you, and my family. Thanks for being here for me!! You're awesome ”"
"That's really comforting, thank you!"
"I'm dealing with the suicide of a family member- how do I cope?"
