Real conversations with your students.
"Ok I'm scared for my speech in leadership"
"I enjoy all of this information"
"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 am very sad and don't feel like attending class."
"How do I make and keep friends?"
"I actually just got my grade up from a C to an A-"
"idk. i just get sad randomly sometimes like my depression will just come and hit me out of nowhere when i'm feeling fine. and my doctor thought i might be bipolar but the psychologist said i wasn't so yeh. idk i'm just kinda weird lol"
"That's a good idea thanks"
"How do you get your teachers to like you?"
"I Don't know yesterday and today I just Felt sad when I woke up."
"i'm failing all my classes"
"Yes you too!! Thanks for helping me feel better"
"“I'm grateful for you, and my family. Thanks for being here for me!! You're awesome ”"
"Ok thanks for your help 😀"
"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"
"0 - I’m super sad. What do you do if nobody likes you?"
"Should I get help if I feel anxious most of the time?"
"I have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"
"I get bullied a lot"
"What can I do to improve my mood?"
"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"
"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"
"I turned in the test today, wish me luck."
"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 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"
"that sounds perfect!! thank you for your advice 🥰 i think i'm gonna do that"
"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"
"Sounds awesome!"
"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"
"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"
