Real conversations with your students.
"Okay so uh I've been thinking a lot about suicide recently, about how there isn't really any point to doing anything because you're just surviving to be ruled by someone else - I made a suicide poem and like know how I would do it and where and what I would dress in but I know I won't do it if that makes any sense? Idk what to feel"
"My sister has depression, what can I do to help her?"
"Guess what? I aced my test, 100/100!"
"it's all good!! just been thinking ab school & life in general. it's all stressful"
"That’s good, I’ll try to do that today with my friends."
"That's a very structured way of looking at it, I think that would be a great start"
"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"
"There's a lot on my to do list and I feel it piling up"
"thank you, you too!!"
"My boyfriend broke up with me"
"Kind of because I don't know where J belong"
"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 have a lot of family problems. My parents are getting a divorce."
"thanks, that's really nice to hear honestly. I hope you have a great day"
"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"
"Wowwww thats so cool!"
"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."
"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?"
"im sad i aint at school i wanna kill my self"
"I want girls to like me"
"Yea I'm so relieved now, thank you!"
"Thank you so much. This program really is amazing!"
"How do I increase self-confidence while performing or just stage fright in general?"
"How do I deal with very opinionated friends?"
"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"
"yeah he's this guy i met thru my friends family. & we almost dated but then he ghosted me & i think he's still on & off w his ex. he plays w my feelings bc i saw him yesterday for the first time in over a month & he acted like we were still talking & everything & it was weird. so i'm not sure if o should move on or keep hoping he'll choose me"
"Sounds awesome!"
"Thank you so much for listening, sometimes I just feel like nobody is listening or understands."
"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"
"Soo, the other day I got into a really heated argument with my best friend's mom, because they kinda make my friend feel down. I went to confront her, but it turned into an argument. I said some things I'm not too proud of, and wrote her an apology note, but um. I still feel sick from what I said."
