Real conversations with your students.
"Well for one I'm just sad a lot of the time, I guess we could call that depression at this point, and I often act happy and good natured, and I'm trying to transition away from the religion of the masses here in St George, but I don't expect any of them to be able to understand, so I keep it to myself. Whenever I talk to them I feel like I'm constantly filtering what I really want to say because they wouldn't be ok with it"
"I enjoy all of this information"
"How do I deal with stress?"
"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???"
"I have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"
"yeah totally! thanks for your help (:"
"Thank you so much for listening, sometimes I just feel like nobody is listening or understands."
"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."
"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."
"How do I make a paper airplane?"
"Man are u a real person? Also I am burnt out. But answer both questions plez"
"yeah he's this guy i met thru my friends family. & we almost dated but then he ghosted me & i think he's still on & off w his ex. he plays w my feelings bc i saw him yesterday for the first time in over a month & he acted like we were still talking & everything & it was weird. so i'm not sure if o should move on or keep hoping he'll choose me"
"Sounds awesome!"
"I'm dealing with the suicide of a family member- how do I cope?"
"Should I get help if I feel anxious most of the time?"
"Thanks for the wonderful 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”"
"this is actually helping me a lot😂 so thank you !"
"I’m having major body image issues, and I can't focus on school because all I think about is how ugly I am"
"I get bullied a lot"
"How do I deal with friends that keep fighting and get me in the middle of their drama?"
"Will do😀👍"
"Thank you so much for listening. Glad I could make your day. I dont feel comfortable talking about this with people. I am just more private of a person I suppose."
"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."
"Okay so uh I've been thinking a lot about suicide recently, about how there isn't really any point to doing anything because you're just surviving to be ruled by someone else - I made a suicide poem and like know how I would do it and where and what I would dress in but I know I won't do it if that makes any sense? Idk what to feel"
"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"
"Okay sweet! there’s kind of a back story to it all to explain, as well as this being the first time I’ve gotten into this subject with anyone, so I’ll do that first if that's all good."
"I just got rejected by a girl 😂"
"I am very sad and don't feel like attending class."
"“Thank you so much for your support!”"
