"I'll try to gain the courage to talk to someone irl, if not I'll come back to talk to you- it's easy to release over text honestly 😅"
"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"
"I turned in the test today, wish me luck."

"I feel constantly disappointed about myself because I know I can do better, but I don't seem to be able to."
"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."
"How do I make and keep friends?"
"You've been so helpful"
"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."
"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"

"thank you, you too!!"

"im sad i aint at school i wanna kill my self"
"How do I deal with friends that keep fighting and get me in the middle of their drama?"
"I’m doing better now, thank you!"
"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"
"hey, so i have this friend who i don't want to be friends with anymore but i don't know what to do?"
