Conversations

Real conversations with your students.

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

"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"

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

"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"

"I’m stressed, I’m taking the ACT in 6 days"

"i'm failing all my classes"

"Lately I've started liking this guy in my friend group and he's really nice and everyone I know loves him but my best friend and it's been making me feel super guilty because she doesn't like being around him. I'm not really sure what to do about it though because I'm trying really hard to not pressure her and talk about him around her but I still feel like its causing a strain in our friendship"

"Yea I'm so relieved now, thank you!"

"Wowwww thats so cool!"

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

"I get bullied a lot"

"You've been so helpful"

"I want girls to like me"

"I actually just got my grade up from a C to an A-"

"thank you! i'm kinda stuck right now & i don't know what to do about this boy! i really like him & we've dated in the past but needed to break up to work on ourselves. we just recently decided to try again because obviously we still like & care for each other! but last night, i found out while we were broken up he did some bad things that he shouldn't have! he regrets it & says he was forced into it. at the end of the day you are responsible for the decision you make & no one can 'force' you🤷🏽‍♀️ i've been thinking about this all day & it makes me sick:( i know it shouldn't affect me this bad because we were broken up but i don't know if i can move past this! he's told me he is sorry SOO many times but it just hurts me:("

"Why do I feel the need to hide who I really am from my friends? I end up resenting them because they're talking to the person I pretend to be, and it feels fake because I'm fake around them"

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

"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"

"“I'm grateful for you, and my family. Thanks for being here for me!! You're awesome ”"

"How do I deal with very opinionated friends?"

"I'm dealing with the suicide of a family member- how do I cope?"

"“Thank you so much for your support!”"

"The bullying has been happening for a few weeks and I honestly don't know why. Me and another girl got a note directed towards me called me a f---ing retard and behind my back this kid called me an ugly a--hole. i try not to let it bother me though it's not super important cos (this sounds weird and far fetched ik) likeeeeeee why would he call me ugly unless he thought i have a higher opinion of myself then that, so he prolly knows i couldn't care less about his words like they hurt but i know he's verbally abused at home and i don't put up with it and he can't handle not having the right reactions from me."

"yeah totally! thanks for your help (:"

"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"

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

"Thank you so much for the help and advice!"

"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"

"How do I deal with stress?"

"That's really comforting, thank you!"
