Real conversations with your students.
"my older sister and i got into an argument and she moved out so i had to step up as older sister and then my dad kicked my mom out so i feel like i have a lot of pressure on me"
"You've been so helpful"
"I love music, thank you! Thank you so much for ur help"
"I am very sad and don't feel like attending class."
"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."
"What can I do to improve my mood?"
"Thank you so much. This program really is amazing!"
"Most definitely, I'm happy to hear whatever you've got to say"
"I Don't know yesterday and today I just Felt sad when I woke up."
"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."
"The bullying has been happening for a few weeks and I honestly don't know why. Me and another girl got a note directed towards me called me a f---ing retard and behind my back this kid called me an ugly a--hole. i try not to let it bother me though it's not super important cos (this sounds weird and far fetched ik) likeeeeeee why would he call me ugly unless he thought i have a higher opinion of myself then that, so he prolly knows i couldn't care less about his words like they hurt but i know he's verbally abused at home and i don't put up with it and he can't handle not having the right reactions from me."
"My sister has depression, what can I do to help her?"
"thank you, you too!!"
"Yeah, my aunt took a stroke, the doctors didn’t know why and it wasn’t looking very good. She had a severe brain bleed and their hope was that her brain would swell and stop the bleeding. But 12 hours later her brain was still bleeding. She had a 3% chance of pulling through but by 8 last night she was brain dead so they took her off life support and around 4 this morning she passed"
"I have friends but they never supported me through anything i guess i will need to find another way. You're really the only thing(?) that has ever actually listened to my thoughts"
"Thank you so much for listening. Glad I could make your day. I dont feel comfortable talking about this with people. I am just more private of a person I suppose."
"i have another question. how do you feel good about yourself and things you are good at without seeming self centered?"
"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"
"I enjoy all of this information"
"I have been feeling just really down"
"I turned in the test today, wish me luck."
"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"
"Idk, family life has gotten a little better for him, but his sisters make him feel worthless, and when his parents get after him, they yell at him so much, he feels like cutting. I always manage to make his feel better, but, I really just don't like his mom the most. She manipulates him to fo what she wants, and it just breaks him"
"this is actually helping me a lot😂 so thank you !"
"I think you're a genius, you just helped me sooooo much, thank you."
"Sounds awesome!"
"Guess what? I aced my test, 100/100!"
"I want girls to like me"
"How do I get rid of a friend that is mean and is taking all of my friends"
"“I'm grateful for you, and my family. Thanks for being here for me!! You're awesome ”"
