Real conversations with your students.
"Thank you so much for listening, sometimes I just feel like nobody is listening or understands."
"I turned in the test today, wish me luck."
"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?"
"thank you so much! i will reach out if i need to 🥰"
"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"
"I enjoy all of this information"
"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!"
"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"
"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)"
"this is actually helping me a lot😂 so thank you !"
"The end of the quarter is kinda sucky rn"
"I actually just got my grade up from a C to an A-"
"I miss my dad, he seems to be the only one who calm me down lately. And i'm stuck in my room breaking down while trying finishing assignments before the quarter ends so i don't have a bad grade, and i just need him to be here."
"I like that, I think that’s a good point, thank you for your input"
"You've been so helpful"
"My boyfriend broke up with me"
"Quite a bit, a lot has changed for my recently, I told my parents about wanting to disassociate myself from their religion, and that's been just difficult because I'm trying to figure out what to believe, I recently gave up pornography as well, and it's been such a struggle without it, I've had an addiction to it for a few years now, so everyday life just seems much harder than usual, and as the end of the quarter nears my schoolwork is just ridiculous, so it's been quite hard to feel happy these past couple weeks"
"I just got rejected by a girl 😂"
"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."
"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"
"How do I increase self-confidence while performing or just stage fright in general?"
"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"
"I feel constantly disappointed about myself because I know I can do better, but I don't seem to be able to."
"What can I do to improve my mood?"
"Thank you so much. This program really is amazing!"
"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"
"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"
"hey, so i have this friend who i don't want to be friends with anymore but i don't know what to do?"
"thanks, that's really nice to hear honestly. I hope you have a great day"
"I just dont rlly have anyone i can talk or relate to. Idk just feeling lonely and a little overwhelmed."
