Real conversations with your students.
"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"
"Yeah, my aunt took a stroke, the doctors didn’t know why and it wasn’t looking very good. She had a severe brain bleed and their hope was that her brain would swell and stop the bleeding. But 12 hours later her brain was still bleeding. She had a 3% chance of pulling through but by 8 last night she was brain dead so they took her off life support and around 4 this morning she passed"
"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?"
"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'm failing all my classes"
"You've been so helpful"
"I feel constantly disappointed about myself because I know I can do better, but I don't seem to be able to."
"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'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 😅"
"My friends say I talk too much, any tips on how to talk less?"
"Okay, 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"
"thanks, that's really nice to hear honestly. I hope you have a great day"
"Thanks for the wonderful advice"
"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."
"thank you, you too!!"
"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"
"That's a good idea thanks"
"i have another question. how do you feel good about yourself and things you are good at without seeming self centered?"
"That’s a great idea thank you, honestly, I really appreciate it.”"
"Yea I'm so relieved now, thank you!"
"hey thanks im sorry im just being bullied at school and i told the counselor and he's been helping me but it's only getting worse"
"thank you so much! i will reach out if i need to 🥰"
"I also want your opinion on something real quick: Which one should I get. Two lockets. One is a heart and the other’s an oval. They’re both the same amount. Which one should I get? The heart is the most popular, but oval is more sentimental to some?"
"I Don't know yesterday and today I just Felt sad when I woke up."
"How do you get your teachers to like 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”"
"I actually just got my grade up from a C to an A-"
"Sounds awesome!"
"What can I do to improve my mood?"
