Real conversations with your students.
"What do you do if nobody likes you"
"I have a lot of family problems. My parents are getting a divorce."
"yeah totally! thanks for your help (:"
"Ok thanks for your help 😀"
"I don't really have any hobbies. I just work a lot. I work at a mexican restaurant i've climbed before but i don't do it often. I don’t really have motivation to do anything lately."
"There's a lot on my to do list and I feel it piling up"
"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"
"“Thank you so much for your support!”"
"i have another question. how do you feel good about yourself and things you are good at without seeming self centered?"
"I totally agree thanks!"
"Kind of because I don't know where J belong"
"Wowwww thats so cool!"
"Guess what? I aced my test, 100/100!"
"I’m doing better now, thank you!"
"I have a math test tomorrow and that's the only class holding me back from my 4.0 and if I don't do good I'll lose it"
"My friends say I talk too much, any tips on how to talk less?"
"Okay sweet! there’s kind of a back story to it all to explain, as well as this being the first time I’ve gotten into this subject with anyone, so I’ll do that first if that's all good."
"I like that, I think that’s a good point, thank you for your input"
"I just dont rlly have anyone i can talk or relate to. Idk just feeling lonely and a little overwhelmed."
"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 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"
"The end of the quarter is kinda sucky rn"
"I'm dealing with the suicide of a family member- how do I cope?"
"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 😅"
"Most definitely, I'm happy to hear whatever you've got to say"
"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?"
"I have been feeling just really down"
"That's a very structured way of looking at it, I think that would be a great start"
"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"
"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"
