Real conversations with your students.
"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'm failing all my classes"
"What do you do if nobody likes you"
"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!"
"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."
"I’m stressed, I’m taking the ACT in 6 days"
"I'm dealing with the suicide of a family member- how do I cope?"
"That's a good idea thanks"
"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!"
"Thanks for the wonderful advice"
"I have been feeling just really down"
"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)"
"You've been so helpful"
"it's all good!! just been thinking ab school & life in general. it's all stressful"
"How do I make a paper airplane?"
"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"
"I totally agree thanks!"
"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"
"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"
"How do you get your teachers to like you?"
"My boyfriend broke up with me"
"Okay, thank you🤎"
"Will do😀👍"
"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?"
"That is true. I'm just happy that I'm able to help him"
"Thank you so much for listening, sometimes I just feel like nobody is listening or understands."
"Yes you too!! Thanks for helping me feel better"
"I am very sad and don't feel like attending class."
