Real conversations with your students.
"idk. i just get sad randomly sometimes like my depression will just come and hit me out of nowhere when i'm feeling fine. and my doctor thought i might be bipolar but the psychologist said i wasn't so yeh. idk i'm just kinda weird lol"
"thank you, you too!!"
"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 😅"
"I’m stressed, I’m taking the ACT in 6 days"
"Idk 😂 I am the oldest in my family and I am struggling with the idea of leaving for college. I kinda just try to not think about it but then I end up not doing the things that I need to do like apply for scholarships. When I do think about it I cry though😅 I love my family and I don't want to loose what we have but I also want to continue to grow and got to college ya know?"
"How do you get rid of a sore throat?"
"I have a question, I have a friend who hasn't been making the best choices and so I've been trying to stop being friends with her how do I do that without hurting her feelings?"
"I enjoy all of this information"
"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"
"My sister has depression, what can I do to help her?"
"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 want to stay friends with the girl i just talked to. we work at the same place and she's the only one who's ever been very kind to me. i just feel like my friends are very manipulative of me so i feel like i should just tell them that i'm wanting to take a break and focus on my mental health and happiness"
"Thank you so much for the help and advice!"
"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."
"well, the overbearing feeling that everyone around is making you feel like you aren't good enough, like you're not deserving of the same kind of love if you're different"
"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."
"Kind of because I don't know where J belong"
"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."
"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 love music, thank you! Thank you so much for ur help"
"Ok thanks for your help 😀"
"That's really comforting, thank you!"
"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"
"Yes you too!! Thanks for helping me feel better"
"hey, so i have this friend who i don't want to be friends with anymore but i don't know what to do?"
"What can I do to improve my mood?"
"I want girls to like me"
"That's a very structured way of looking at it, I think that would be a great start"
"Sounds awesome!"
"The end of the quarter is kinda sucky rn"
