Conversations

Real conversations with your students.

"Ok thanks for your help 😀"

"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 am very sad and don't feel like attending class."

"You're welcome! 😉 But thanks to you too 😁"

"hey, so i have this friend who i don't want to be friends with anymore but i don't know what to do?"

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

"Ok I'm scared for my speech in leadership"

"Sounds good! I really appreciate you talking to me. It means a ton to me and I had a good time. Thank you. Have a good night."

"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"

"How do I deal with very opinionated friends?"

"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"

"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"

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

"this is actually helping me a lot😂 so thank you !"

"You too, have a great rest of the day😁"

"How do I deal with stress?"

"That’s good, I’ll try to do that today with my friends."

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

"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."

"You've been so helpful"

"“I have tried to talk a little bit to my parents but I didnt like seeing them upset, plus they are already worried about me to much as it is, I dont want to add more weight on them anymore. And I dont trust the counselors anymore”"

"Thanks for the wonderful advice"

"0 - I’m super sad. What do you do if nobody likes you?"

"I like that, I think that’s a good point, thank you for your input"

"Okay sweet! there’s kind of a back story to it all to explain, as well as this being the first time I’ve gotten into this subject with anyone, so I’ll do that first if that's all good."

"I’m feeling nervous"

"I’m having major body image issues, and I can't focus on school because all I think about is how ugly I am"

"my older sister and i got into an argument and she moved out so i had to step up as older sister and then my dad kicked my mom out so i feel like i have a lot of pressure on me"

"Do you think I have depression?"

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