Real conversations with your students.
"I was home from school for two weeks because I was depressed because my parents divorced this summer and I moved and haven't been feeling belonged at school"
"I turned in the test today, wish me luck."
"thank you, you too!!"
"Thanks for the wonderful advice"
"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"
"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"
"That's a very structured way of looking at it, I think that would be a great start"
"I get bullied a lot"
"I want girls to like me"
"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...?"
"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?"
"hey thanks im sorry im just being bullied at school and i told the counselor and he's been helping me but it's only getting worse"
"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"
"thank you so much! i will reach out if i need to 🥰"
"you're so right !! i'm kind of doubting the relationship because it has a lot to do w/ me trusting him!"
"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"
"The end of the quarter is kinda sucky rn"
"What do you do if nobody likes you"
"That's a good idea thanks"
"Sounds awesome!"
"How do I feel better"
"I have a lot of family problems. My parents are getting a divorce."
"this is actually helping me a lot😂 so thank you !"
"im sad i aint at school i wanna kill my self"
"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"
"Wowwww thats so cool!"
"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"
"I actually just got my grade up from a C to an A-"
"I have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"
"What can I do to improve my mood?"
