Real conversations with your students.
"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"
"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"
"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 ๐ "
"Will do๐๐"
"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"
"Quite a bit, a lot has changed for my recently, I told my parents about wanting to disassociate myself from their religion, and that's been just difficult because I'm trying to figure out what to believe, I recently gave up pornography as well, and it's been such a struggle without it, I've had an addiction to it for a few years now, so everyday life just seems much harder than usual, and as the end of the quarter nears my schoolwork is just ridiculous, so it's been quite hard to feel happy these past couple weeks"
"you're so right !! i'm kind of doubting the relationship because it has a lot to do w/ me trusting him!"
"Why are boys so mean ๐ญ๐ญAre all boys mean ๐ข"
"it's all good!! just been thinking ab school & life in general. it's all stressful"
"I was home from school for two weeks because I was depressed because my parents divorced this summer and I moved and haven't been feeling belonged at school"
"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"
"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!"
"Should I get help if I feel anxious most of the time?"
"I also want your opinion on something real quick: Which one should I get. Two lockets. One is a heart and the otherโs an oval. Theyโre 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?"
"That's a good idea thanks"
"I have been feeling just really down"
"Okay, thank you๐ค"
"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 have a lot of family problems. My parents are getting a divorce."
"My best friend texted me saying she is fed up with me hurting her feelings and being mean, I don't know what I've done and apologized if I've ever done anything not on purpose. She said apparently I did something on purpose and I should know what it is. Now she won't talk to me and I'm still confused. Any advice???"
"I just got rejected by a girl ๐"
"Do you think I have depression?"
"im sad i aint at school i wanna kill my self"
"Thanks for the wonderful advice"
"You're welcome! ๐ But thanks to you too ๐"
"How do I increase self-confidence while performing or just stage fright in general?"
"How do I deal with stress?"
"Thank you for being here for the students, it's great to have a person to talk to. Here's a little expression of my gratitude in video form (the audio is a little quiet so turn up the volume a little)"
"I turned in the test today, wish me luck."
