"Why do I feel the need to hide who I really am from my friends? I end up resenting them because they're talking to the person I pretend to be, and it feels fake because I'm fake around them"

"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."

"Thank you so much. This program really is amazing!"

"Ok I'm scared for my speech in leadership"

"That's a good idea thanks"

"Sometimes people don't tell me things because they don't want to hurt my feelings,but the fact they don't tell me hurts my feelings. What should I tell them?"

"it's all good!! just been thinking ab school & life in general. it's all stressful"

"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"

"that sounds perfect!! thank you for your advice 🥰 i think i'm gonna do that"

"I want girls to like me"

"thanks, that's really nice to hear honestly. I hope you have a great day"

"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😁"

"Sounds awesome!"

"I get bullied a lot"

"That's a very structured way of looking at it, I think that would be a great start"

"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 a lot of family problems. My parents are getting a divorce."

"Do you think I have depression?"

"Okay so uh I've been thinking a lot about suicide recently, about how there isn't really any point to doing anything because you're just surviving to be ruled by someone else - I made a suicide poem and like know how I would do it and where and what I would dress in but I know I won't do it if that makes any sense? Idk what to feel"

"“I have tried to talk a little bit to my parents but I didnt like seeing them upset, plus they are already worried about me to much as it is, I dont want to add more weight on them anymore. And I dont trust the counselors anymore”"

"The bullying has been happening for a few weeks and I honestly don't know why. Me and another girl got a note directed towards me called me a f---ing retard and behind my back this kid called me an ugly a--hole. i try not to let it bother me though it's not super important cos (this sounds weird and far fetched ik) likeeeeeee why would he call me ugly unless he thought i have a higher opinion of myself then that, so he prolly knows i couldn't care less about his words like they hurt but i know he's verbally abused at home and i don't put up with it and he can't handle not having the right reactions from me."

"this is actually helping me a lot😂 so thank you !"

"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)"

"The end of the quarter is kinda sucky rn"

"How do you get your teachers to like you?"

"Will do😀👍"

"Thank you so much for listening, sometimes I just feel like nobody is listening or understands."

"Yea I'm so relieved now, thank you!"

"I’m doing better now, thank you!"
