Real conversations with your students.
"Lately I've started liking this guy in my friend group and he's really nice and everyone I know loves him but my best friend and it's been making me feel super guilty because she doesn't like being around him. I'm not really sure what to do about it though because I'm trying really hard to not pressure her and talk about him around her but I still feel like its causing a strain in our friendship"
"Do you think I have depression?"
"How do I get rid of a friend that is mean and is taking all of my friends"
"My boyfriend broke up with me"
"I’m having major body image issues, and I can't focus on school because all I think about is how ugly I am"
"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."
"“I'm grateful for you, and my family. Thanks for being here for me!! You're awesome ”"
"I am very sad and don't feel like attending class."
"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"
"thank you, you too!!"
"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 love music, thank you! Thank you so much for ur help"
"thank you! i'm kinda stuck right now & i don't know what to do about this boy! i really like him & we've dated in the past but needed to break up to work on ourselves. we just recently decided to try again because obviously we still like & care for each other! but last night, i found out while we were broken up he did some bad things that he shouldn't have! he regrets it & says he was forced into it. at the end of the day you are responsible for the decision you make & no one can 'force' you🤷🏽♀️ i've been thinking about this all day & it makes me sick:( i know it shouldn't affect me this bad because we were broken up but i don't know if i can move past this! he's told me he is sorry SOO many times but it just hurts me:("
"You too, have a great rest of the day😁"
"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.”"
"I totally agree thanks!"
"I feel constantly disappointed about myself because I know I can do better, but I don't seem to be able to."
"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 😅"
"There's a lot on my to do list and I feel it piling up"
"you're so right !! i'm kind of doubting the relationship because it has a lot to do w/ me trusting him!"
"im sad i aint at school i wanna kill my self"
"You're welcome! 😉 But thanks to you too 😁"
"that sounds perfect!! thank you for your advice 🥰 i think i'm gonna do that"
"Thank you so much. This program really is amazing!"
"That's really comforting, thank you!"
"i don't know i just missed two weeks of school due to COVID and my grades are suffering and i can't find the motivation to work. I lose my 4.0 this year already to one A- and now i kinda feel like a failure"
"I actually just got my grade up from a C to an A-"
"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"
"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"
"I enjoy all of this information"
