Real conversations with your students.
"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"
"Ok I'm scared for my speech in leadership"
"You've been so helpful"
"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 😅"
"you're so right !! i'm kind of doubting the relationship because it has a lot to do w/ me trusting him!"
"that sounds perfect!! thank you for your advice 🥰 i think i'm gonna do that"
"I get bullied a lot"
"Ok thanks for your help 😀"
"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?"
"thanks, that's really nice to hear honestly. I hope you have a great day"
"I enjoy all of this information"
"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!"
"this is actually helping me a lot😂 so thank you !"
"I’m feeling nervous"
"I Don't know yesterday and today I just Felt sad when I woke up."
"Soo, the other day I got into a really heated argument with my best friend's mom, because they kinda make my friend feel down. I went to confront her, but it turned into an argument. I said some things I'm not too proud of, and wrote her an apology note, but um. I still feel sick from what I said."
"Should I get help if I feel anxious most of the time?"
"That's a good thought, everyone has something to contribute, sometimes it's just hard to see my part when others seem to have so much more to contribute than I do, I appreciate your help, this program is a really great idea"
"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"
"Yes you too!! Thanks for helping me feel better"
"How do I get rid of a friend that is mean and is taking all of my friends"
"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."
"Thank you so much. This program really is amazing!"
"Thank you, I love getting messages that make me stop what I'm doing and think about things that leave me in a more positive attitude than before!"
"I was home from school for two weeks because I was depressed because my parents divorced this summer and I moved and haven't been feeling belonged at school"
"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"
"My friends say I talk too much, any tips on how to talk less?"
"That's really comforting, thank you!"
"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"
"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"
