Real conversations with your students.
"I feel bad talking to my parents, because I know they will still love me if I let my grades drop and they'll always support me, but it does feel like to much pressure sometimes, especially since my older brother was so good when it came to grades and academic performance. And I'm not close enough with any of my teachers to share this kind of stuff with them...that's a good way to look at it, thank you.”"
"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"
"I’m having major body image issues, and I can't focus on school because all I think about is how ugly I am"
"Will do😀👍"
"thank you so much! i will reach out if i need to 🥰"
"There's a lot on my to do list and I feel it piling up"
"I have been feeling just really down"
"Kind of because I don't know where J belong"
"No worries, monster texts are usually the best 😊 That is really helpful actually- I'm a visual learner, and that is a good image. Do you have any suggestions on how to get back to the inner circle? I get so caught up in the dregs I forget how to get out"
"I just got rejected by a girl 😂"
"I have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"
"I just dont rlly have anyone i can talk or relate to. Idk just feeling lonely and a little overwhelmed."
"My friends say I talk too much, any tips on how to talk less?"
"I don't really have any hobbies. I just work a lot. I work at a mexican restaurant i've climbed before but i don't do it often. I don’t really have motivation to do anything lately."
"thanks, that's really nice to hear honestly. I hope you have a great day"
"You too, have a great rest of the day😁"
"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"
"I have a lot of family problems. My parents are getting a divorce."
"Ok thanks for your help 😀"
"you're so right !! i'm kind of doubting the relationship because it has a lot to do w/ me trusting him!"
"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?"
"That's a good idea thanks"
"Thank you so much for the help and advice!"
"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"
"That’s good, I’ll try to do that today with my friends."
"Most definitely, I'm happy to hear whatever you've got to say"
"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."
"I'm stressed with my grades still. Normally I have all A's but I have a C in math that I've been trying to get up but I don't get the unit I missed"
"I enjoy all of this information"
"it's all good!! just been thinking ab school & life in general. it's all stressful"
