Real conversations with your students.
"I turned in the test today, wish me luck."
"im sad i aint at school i wanna kill my self"
"0 - I’m super sad. What do you do if nobody likes you?"
"I am very sad and don't feel like attending class."
"That’s a great idea thank you, honestly, I really appreciate it.”"
"i'm failing all my classes"
"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"
"That's a good idea thanks"
"I feel constantly disappointed about myself because I know I can do better, but I don't seem to be able to."
"i have another question. how do you feel good about yourself and things you are good at without seeming self centered?"
"I have been feeling just really down"
"How do I deal with very opinionated friends?"
"That is true. I'm just happy that I'm able to help him"
"Thank you, I love getting messages that make me stop what I'm doing and think about things that leave me in a more positive attitude than before!"
"No worries, monster texts are usually the best 😊 That is really helpful actually- I'm a visual learner, and that is a good image. Do you have any suggestions on how to get back to the inner circle? I get so caught up in the dregs I forget how to get out"
"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.”"
"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"
"Okay, thank you🤎"
"hey, so i have this friend who i don't want to be friends with anymore but i don't know what to do?"
"How do I make a paper airplane?"
"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"
"Sounds good! I really appreciate you talking to me. It means a ton to me and I had a good time. Thank you. Have a good night."
"I also want your opinion on something real quick: Which one should I get. Two lockets. One is a heart and the other’s an oval. They’re both the same amount. Which one should I get? The heart is the most popular, but oval is more sentimental to some?"
"I'm dealing with the suicide of a family member- how do I cope?"
"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"
"Guess what? I aced my test, 100/100!"
"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"
"thanks, that's really nice to hear honestly. I hope you have a great day"
"There's a lot on my to do list and I feel it piling up"
"I have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"
