Conversations

Real conversations with your students.

"I listened to your most recent podcast about confidence, and I thought it was epic.🤙 I had a question that's related to it about something I've been dealing with recently. I already typed it up to explain the situation, and it is very long haha. Is that alright...?"

"I'm dealing with the suicide of a family member- how do I cope?"

"I feel constantly disappointed about myself because I know I can do better, but I don't seem to be able to."

"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"

"im sad i aint at school i wanna kill my self"

"How do I make and keep friends?"

"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?"

"Most definitely, I'm happy to hear whatever you've got to say"

"I just got rejected by a girl 😂"

"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 have another question. how do you feel good about yourself and things you are good at without seeming self centered?"

"I think you're a genius, you just helped me sooooo much, thank you."

"That’s a great idea thank you, honestly, I really appreciate it.”"

"I can't help in my classroom, we are online"

"I’m feeling nervous"

"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"

"I don’t enjoy my life anymore.I mess everything up. I dont like it. My life is painful and since then I've had 2 suicide attempts. Been like this since mid 2019"

"My friends say I talk too much, any tips on how to talk less?"

"I totally agree thanks!"

"“Thats a good idea! Ive never tried that. Usually each day I just get a 1-2 hour nap...Alright i will definitely have to! Thank you so much”"

"Your advice really helped! Now I feel that my friends want to be around me more. 🙂"

"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"

"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"

"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 😅"

"my older sister and i got into an argument and she moved out so i had to step up as older sister and then my dad kicked my mom out so i feel like i have a lot of pressure on me"

"thank you so much! i will reach out if i need to 🥰"

"this is actually helping me a lot😂 so thank you !"

"What can I do to improve my mood?"

"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 enjoy all of this information"
