Real conversations with your students.
"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"
"Do you think I have depression?"
"How do you get your teachers to like you?"
"im sad i aint at school i wanna kill my self"
"“Thats a good idea! Ive never tried that. Usually each day I just get a 1-2 hour nap...Alright i will definitely have to! Thank you so much”"
"I totally agree thanks!"
"How do you get rid of a sore throat?"
"Wowwww thats so cool!"
"hey, so i have this friend who i don't want to be friends with anymore but i don't know what to do?"
"I’m doing better now, thank you!"
"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."
"My sister has depression, what can I do to help her?"
"I am very sad and don't feel like attending class."
"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?"
"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"
"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"
"0 - I’m super sad. What do you do if nobody likes you?"
"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"
"I turned in the test today, wish me luck."
"My friends mom passed away and I don't really know what to say to him. I don't want to sound insensitive but I don't what to sound pitiful, so any advice?"
"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"
"it's all good!! just been thinking ab school & life in general. it's all stressful"
"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."
"this is actually helping me a lot😂 so thank you !"
"I have friends but they never supported me through anything i guess i will need to find another way. You're really the only thing(?) that has ever actually listened to my thoughts"
"yeah totally! thanks for your help (:"
"I appreciate it 😊most definitely👍"
"That's a good idea thanks"
"I have a math test tomorrow and that's the only class holding me back from my 4.0 and if I don't do good I'll lose it"
"Guess what? I aced my test, 100/100!"
