Real conversations with your students.
"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"
"Okay, thank you🤎"
"What can I do to improve my mood?"
"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"
"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???"
"Idk 😂 I am the oldest in my family and I am struggling with the idea of leaving for college. I kinda just try to not think about it but then I end up not doing the things that I need to do like apply for scholarships. When I do think about it I cry though😅 I love my family and I don't want to loose what we have but I also want to continue to grow and got to college ya know?"
"Ok thanks for your help 😀"
"Most definitely, I'm happy to hear whatever you've got to say"
"The end of the quarter is kinda sucky rn"
"this is actually helping me a lot😂 so thank you !"
"Kind of because I don't know where J belong"
"Thank you so much for the help and advice!"
"How do I make a paper airplane?"
"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 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"
"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"
"All my friends watch tiktoks instead of doing hw and brag about it, it's like, high school culture to just procrastinate and brag about having bad grades and no sleep and everything and it doesn't click to me. But yeah I love my friends but I wish I could meet some that are more like me."
"“I'm grateful for you, and my family. Thanks for being here for me!! You're awesome ”"
"I have a question, I have a friend who hasn't been making the best choices and so I've been trying to stop being friends with her how do I do that without hurting her feelings?"
"You too, have a great rest of the day😁"
"“Thank you so much for your support!”"
"I'm dealing with the suicide of a family member- how do I cope?"
"How do you get rid of a sore throat?"
"How do I increase self-confidence while performing or just stage fright in general?"
"I Don't know yesterday and today I just Felt sad when I woke up."
"I listened to your most recent podcast about confidence, and I thought it was epic.🤙 I had a question that's related to it about something I've been dealing with recently. I already typed it up to explain the situation, and it is very long haha. Is that alright...?"
"yeah totally! thanks for your help (:"
"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"
"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"
"There's a lot on my to do list and I feel it piling up"
