Real conversations with your students.
"That’s good, I’ll try to do that today with my friends."
"Yes you too!! Thanks for helping me feel better"
"How do I make and keep friends?"
"How do I get rid of a friend that is mean and is taking all of my friends"
"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"
"How do I deal with stress?"
"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"
"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)"
"Thanks for the wonderful advice"
"thank you so much! i will reach out if i need to 🥰"
"Thank you so much for listening, sometimes I just feel like nobody is listening or understands."
"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!"
"You too, have a great rest of the day😁"
"That's a very structured way of looking at it, I think that would be a great start"
"Okay sweet! there’s kind of a back story to it all to explain, as well as this being the first time I’ve gotten into this subject with anyone, so I’ll do that first if that's all good."
"My boyfriend broke up with me"
"That is true. I'm just happy that I'm able to help him"
"I have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"
"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 😅"
"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"
"How do I feel better"
"“Thank you so much for your support!”"
"How do I deal with friends that keep fighting and get me in the middle of their drama?"
"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"
"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!"
"What can I do to improve my mood?"
"What do you do if nobody likes you"
"I don't really have any hobbies. I just work a lot. I work at a mexican restaurant i've climbed before but i don't do it often. I don’t really have motivation to do anything lately."
"Ok I'm scared for my speech in leadership"
"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."
