Conversations

Real conversations with your students.

"hey, so i have this friend who i don't want to be friends with anymore but i don't know what to do?"

"Well thank you amazing human too! It's so awesome that you take time to talk to strangers and brighten their day through this program. Keep it up! Have a great day"

"I have funeral I'm going to, ACT stuff is being shoved in my head, I have 4 college classes to keep up on, skills USA is coming up and I've been nominated to participate, and I have two jobs"

"That’s good, I’ll try to do that today with my friends."

"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"

"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’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."

"i'm failing all my classes"

"that sounds perfect!! thank you for your advice 🥰 i think i'm gonna do that"

"How do I get rid of a friend that is mean and is taking all of my friends"

"I’m stressed, I’m taking the ACT in 6 days"

"That's really comforting, 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."

"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"

"These tips will probably help a lot for now - I'd love to stay in touch, and I'll reach out if I'm struggling again (probably sooner rather than later 😅) thank you so so much"

"My boyfriend broke up with me"

"I actually just got my grade up from a C to an A-"

"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"

"My friends say I talk too much, any tips on how to talk less?"

"“I'm grateful for you, and my family. Thanks for being here for me!! You're awesome ”"

"You're welcome! 😉 But thanks to you too 😁"

"How do you get your teachers to like you?"

"im sad i aint at school i wanna kill my self"

"“Thank you so much for your support!”"

"Guess what? I aced my test, 100/100!"

"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"

"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"

"I just dont rlly have anyone i can talk or relate to. Idk just feeling lonely and a little overwhelmed."

"this kid said he loves me and i don't know how i feel!!! like he's so sweet but i just can't say it. it's hurting my brain"

"That's a good idea thanks"
