Real conversations with your students.
"Iโm doing better now, thank you!"
"Should I get help if I feel anxious most of the time?"
"you're so right !! i'm kind of doubting the relationship because it has a lot to do w/ me trusting him!"
"I've been feeling a bit stressed, I work full time. And also have been struggling to take out a motor I've bought from the junk yard."
"I just got rejected by a girl ๐"
"That's a very structured way of looking at it, I think that would be a great start"
"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"
"I have a math test tomorrow and that's the only class holding me back from my 4.0 and if I don't do good I'll lose it"
"I want girls to like me"
"That's really comforting, thank you!"
"I am very sad and don't feel like attending class."
"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"
"I enjoy all of this information"
"Iโll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, theyโre quite comforting."
"I get bullied a lot"
"Kind of because I don't know where J belong"
"Thank you so much for listening. Glad I could make your day. I dont feel comfortable talking about this with people. I am just more private of a person I suppose."
"How do I feel better"
"Well for one I'm just sad a lot of the time, I guess we could call that depression at this point, and I often act happy and good natured, and I'm trying to transition away from the religion of the masses here in St George, but I don't expect any of them to be able to understand, so I keep it to myself. Whenever I talk to them I feel like I'm constantly filtering what I really want to say because they wouldn't be ok with it"
"You're welcome! ๐ But thanks to you too ๐"
"I have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"
"Man are u a real person? Also I am burnt out. But answer both questions plez"
"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 have another question. how do you feel good about yourself and things you are good at without seeming self centered?"
"These tips will probably help a lot for now - I'd love to stay in touch, and I'll reach out if I'm struggling again (probably sooner rather than later ๐ ) thank you so so much"
"Idk ๐ 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 though๐ 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?"
"I think you're a genius, you just helped me sooooo much, thank you."
"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"
"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"
"I miss my dad, he seems to be the only one who calm me down lately. And i'm stuck in my room breaking down while trying finishing assignments before the quarter ends so i don't have a bad grade, and i just need him to be here."
