Real conversations with your students.
"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."
"Most definitely, I'm happy to hear whatever you've got to say"
"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’m doing better now, thank you!"
"I Don't know yesterday and today I just Felt sad when I woke up."
"thank you so much! i will reach out if i need to 🥰"
"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"

"I'm dealing with the suicide of a family member- how do I cope?"
"I can't help in my classroom, we are online"
"“I'm grateful for you, and my family. Thanks for being here for me!! You're awesome ”"
"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"
"Will do😀👍"
"My sister has depression, what can I do to help her?"
"Okay, thank you🤎"
"i have another question. how do you feel good about yourself and things you are good at without seeming self centered?"
"this is actually helping me a lot😂 so thank you !"
"How do I deal with very opinionated friends?"
"Why do I feel like isolating all the time? I tend to hate people a lot, they just annoy me, though I strive for connection I hate connecting then I hate myself for not being able to just be normal, it's kinda twisted🤷🏻♂️"
"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 don't feel an intimate connection to anyone in my life and being in the general vicinity of people gives me extreme anxiety."
"I love music, thank you! Thank you so much for ur help"
"thanks, that's really nice to hear honestly. I hope you have a great day"
"How do you get your teachers to like you?"
"I have funeral I'm going to, ACT stuff is being shoved in my head, I have 4 college classes to keep up on, skills USA is coming up and I've been nominated to participate, and I have two jobs"
"Thanks for the wonderful advice"
"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"
"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"
"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."
