Real conversations with your students.

"My sister has depression, what can I do to help her?"

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

"I’m doing better now, thank you!"

"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."

"“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'm stressed with my grades still. Normally I have all A's but I have a C in math that I've been trying to get up but I don't get the unit I missed"

"How do I make a paper airplane?"

"Your advice really helped! Now I feel that my friends want to be around me more. 🙂"

"I've been feeling a bit stressed, I work full time. And also have been struggling to take out a motor I've bought from the junk yard."

"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"

"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?"

"My friends say I talk too much, any tips on how to talk less?"

"I totally agree thanks!"

"That’s a great idea thank you, honestly, I really appreciate it.”"

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

"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"

"I turned in the test today, wish me luck."

"I'm dealing with the suicide of a family member- how do I cope?"

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

"Kind of because I don't know where J belong"

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

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

"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?"

"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 have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"

"im sad i aint at school i wanna kill my self"

"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!"

"How do I feel better"

"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"

"yeah totally! thanks for your help (:"
