Conversations

Real conversations with your students.

"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"

"Quite a bit, a lot has changed for my recently, I told my parents about wanting to disassociate myself from their religion, and that's been just difficult because I'm trying to figure out what to believe, I recently gave up pornography as well, and it's been such a struggle without it, I've had an addiction to it for a few years now, so everyday life just seems much harder than usual, and as the end of the quarter nears my schoolwork is just ridiculous, so it's been quite hard to feel happy these past couple weeks"

"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."

"Thank you so much. This program really is amazing!"

"you're so right !! i'm kind of doubting the relationship because it has a lot to do w/ me trusting him!"

"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"

"yes i really think being friends with her will be the best option. and thank you very much! Thank you for helping me think of new things to do to help myself!"

"I’m doing better now, thank you!"

"“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”"

"Should I get help if I feel anxious most of the time?"

"this kid said he loves me and i don't know how i feel!!! like he's so sweet but i just can't say it. it's hurting my brain"

"How do I deal with very opinionated friends?"

"How do I make and keep friends?"

"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???"

"that sounds perfect!! thank you for your advice 🥰 i think i'm gonna do that"

"Your advice really helped! Now I feel that my friends want to be around me more. 🙂"

"How do I get rid of a friend that is mean and is taking all of my friends"

"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"

"I have a lot of family problems. My parents are getting a divorce."

"Do you think I have depression?"

"thanks, that's really nice to hear honestly. I hope you have a great day"

"it's all good!! just been thinking ab school & life in general. it's all stressful"

"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"

"There's a lot on my to do list and I feel it piling up"

"i don't know i just missed two weeks of school due to COVID and my grades are suffering and i can't find the motivation to work. I lose my 4.0 this year already to one A- and now i kinda feel like a failure"

"You too, have a great rest of the day😁"

"I get bullied a lot"

"That's a very structured way of looking at it, I think that would be a great start"

"Sometimes people don't tell me things because they don't want to hurt my feelings,but the fact they don't tell me hurts my feelings. What should I tell them?"

"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"
