Real conversations with your students.
"Thank you so much. This program really is amazing!"
"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"
"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?"
"There's a lot on my to do list and I feel it piling up"
"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"
"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"
"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"
"im sad i aint at school i wanna kill my self"
"My friends say I talk too much, any tips on how to talk less?"
"“I'm grateful for you, and my family. Thanks for being here for me!! You're awesome ”"
"I appreciate it 😊most definitely👍"
"I can't help in my classroom, we are online"
"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"
"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"
"How do I make and keep friends?"
"My sister has depression, what can I do to help her?"
"What can I do to improve my mood?"
"You're welcome! 😉 But thanks to you too 😁"
"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"
"you're so right !! i'm kind of doubting the relationship because it has a lot to do w/ me trusting him!"
"I am very sad and don't feel like attending class."
"You too, have a great rest of the day😁"
"Will do😀👍"
"Okay, thank you🤎"
"I’m doing better now, thank you!"
"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 just got rejected by a girl 😂"
"I think you're a genius, you just helped me sooooo much, thank you."
"Ok I'm scared for my speech in leadership"
"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!"
