Real conversations with your students.
"Idk 😂 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 though😅 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'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 😅"
"Will do😀👍"
"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"
"I get bullied a lot"
"I’m doing better now, thank you!"
"Do you think I have depression?"
"I totally agree thanks!"
"That's really comforting, 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"
"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"
"I enjoy all of this information"
"I think you're a genius, you just helped me sooooo much, thank you."
"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"
"Guess what? I aced my test, 100/100!"
"Most definitely, I'm happy to hear whatever you've got to say"
"Okay, thank you🤎"
"Thank you for being here for the students, it's great to have a person to talk to. Here's a little expression of my gratitude in video form (the audio is a little quiet so turn up the volume a little)"
"I lost my whole friend group of 4 years. I think that they were just so toxic. i wasn't invited to anything unless i texted them. i would leave with extreme anxiety and no one would ask me if i was ok. and they've all just changed since i met them. we don't have the same values or morals anymore"
"What do you do if nobody likes you"
"thanks, that's really nice to hear honestly. I hope you have a great day"
"“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”"
"I have been feeling just really down"
"I have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"
"Ok thanks for your help 😀"
"I feel constantly disappointed about myself because I know I can do better, but I don't seem to be able to."
"Ok I'm scared for my speech in leadership"
"How do I deal with stress?"
"I also want your opinion on something real quick: Which one should I get. Two lockets. One is a heart and the other’s an oval. They’re both the same amount. Which one should I get? The heart is the most popular, but oval is more sentimental to some?"
"There's a lot on my to do list and I feel it piling up"
