Real conversations with your students.
"Soo, the other day I got into a really heated argument with my best friend's mom, because they kinda make my friend feel down. I went to confront her, but it turned into an argument. I said some things I'm not too proud of, and wrote her an apology note, but um. I still feel sick from what I said."
"How do I increase self-confidence while performing or just stage fright in general?"
"i have another question. how do you feel good about yourself and things you are good at without seeming self centered?"
"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."
"I have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"
"yeah he's this guy i met thru my friends family. & we almost dated but then he ghosted me & i think he's still on & off w his ex. he plays w my feelings bc i saw him yesterday for the first time in over a month & he acted like we were still talking & everything & it was weird. so i'm not sure if o should move on or keep hoping he'll choose me"
"Okay, thank you🤎"
"How do I deal with friends that keep fighting and get me in the middle of their drama?"
"I also want your opinion on something real quick: Which one should I get. Two lockets. One is a heart and the other’s an oval. They’re both the same amount. Which one should I get? The heart is the most popular, but oval is more sentimental to some?"
"Thanks for the wonderful advice"
"I turned in the test today, wish me luck."
"this is actually helping me a lot😂 so thank you !"
"I like that, I think that’s a good point, thank you for your input"
"I feel bad talking to my parents, because I know they will still love me if I let my grades drop and they'll always support me, but it does feel like to much pressure sometimes, especially since my older brother was so good when it came to grades and academic performance. And I'm not close enough with any of my teachers to share this kind of stuff with them...that's a good way to look at it, thank you.”"
"I love music, thank you! Thank you so much for ur help"
"Ok thanks for your help 😀"
"I enjoy all of this information"
"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"
"Yes you too!! Thanks for helping me feel better"
"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...?"
"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."
"You're welcome! 😉 But thanks to you too 😁"
"How do you get your teachers to like you?"
"How do I feel better"
"hey, so i have this friend who i don't want to be friends with anymore but i don't know what to do?"
"How do I get rid of a friend that is mean and is taking all of my friends"
"How do I deal with very opinionated friends?"
"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?"
"My friends say I talk too much, any tips on how to talk less?"
"That’s a great idea thank you, honestly, I really appreciate it.”"
