Conversations

Real conversations with your students.

"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"

"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."

"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"

"Thank you so much for the help and advice!"

"That's a good idea thanks"

"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"

"That is true. I'm just happy that I'm able to help him"

"How do I make a paper airplane?"

"β€œThank you so much for your support!”"

"Most definitely, I'm happy to hear whatever you've got to say"

"My boyfriend broke up with me"

"I love music, thank you! Thank you so much for ur help"

"How do I feel better"

"There's a lot on my to do list and I feel it piling up"

"Wowwww thats so cool!"

"Do you think I have depression?"

"The end of the quarter is kinda sucky rn"

"What do you do if nobody likes you"

"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)"

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

"That's a very structured way of looking at it, I think that would be a great start"

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

"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"

"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"

"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"

"I'm stressed with my grades still. Normally I have all A's but I have a C in math that I've been trying to get up but I don't get the unit I missed"

"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 πŸ˜…) thank you so so much"

"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"

"yeah totally! thanks for your help (:"

"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"
