Real conversations with your students.
"That’s good, I’ll try to do that today with my friends."
"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."
"How do you get rid of a sore throat?"
"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"
"I just got rejected by a girl 😂"
"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."
"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."
"You too, have a great rest of the day😁"
"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"
"No worries, monster texts are usually the best 😊 That is really helpful actually- I'm a visual learner, and that is a good image. Do you have any suggestions on how to get back to the inner circle? I get so caught up in the dregs I forget how to get out"
"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"
"im sad i aint at school i wanna kill my self"
"I don’t enjoy my life anymore.I mess everything up. I dont like it. My life is painful and since then I've had 2 suicide attempts. Been like this since mid 2019"
"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"
"Will do😀👍"
"How do you get your teachers to like you?"
"My friends say I talk too much, any tips on how to talk less?"
"My boyfriend broke up with me"
"You're welcome! 😉 But thanks to you too 😁"
"How do I make a paper airplane?"
"idk. i just get sad randomly sometimes like my depression will just come and hit me out of nowhere when i'm feeling fine. and my doctor thought i might be bipolar but the psychologist said i wasn't so yeh. idk i'm just kinda weird lol"
"These tips will probably help a lot for now - I'd love to stay in touch, and I'll reach out if I'm struggling again (probably sooner rather than later 😅) thank you so so much"
"That's a very structured way of looking at it, I think that would be a great start"
"I enjoy all of this information"
"I like that, I think that’s a good point, thank you for your input"
"What do you do if nobody likes you"
"I don't feel an intimate connection to anyone in my life and being in the general vicinity of people gives me extreme anxiety."
"I have a lot of family problems. My parents are getting a divorce."
"well, the overbearing feeling that everyone around is making you feel like you aren't good enough, like you're not deserving of the same kind of love if you're different"
"I feel constantly disappointed about myself because I know I can do better, but I don't seem to be able to."
