Real conversations with your students.
"That’s a great idea thank you, honestly, I really appreciate it.”"
"That's really comforting, thank you!"
"thank you, you too!!"
"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"
"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"
"Most definitely, I'm happy to hear whatever you've got to say"
"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?"
"That's a very structured way of looking at it, I think that would be a great start"
"Should I get help if I feel anxious most of the time?"
"My friends say I talk too much, any tips on how to talk less?"
"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."
"That’s good, I’ll try to do that today with my friends."
"Thank you so much. This program really is amazing!"
"How do I get rid of a friend that is mean and is taking all of my friends"
"How do I make a paper airplane?"
"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"
"I think you're a genius, you just helped me sooooo much, thank you."
"You've been so helpful"
"this kid said he loves me and i don't know how i feel!!! like he's so sweet but i just can't say it. it's hurting my brain"
"I appreciate it 😊most definitely👍"
"thank you so much! i will reach out if i need to 🥰"
"I have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"
"I’m having major body image issues, and I can't focus on school because all I think about is how ugly I am"
"You too, have a great rest of the day😁"
"My boyfriend broke up with me"
"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"
"That's a good idea thanks"
"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"
"I don't feel an intimate connection to anyone in my life and being in the general vicinity of people gives me extreme anxiety."
"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."
