Real conversations with your students.
"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"
"That’s a great idea thank you, honestly, I really appreciate it.”"
"i'm failing all my classes"
"Thank you, I love getting messages that make me stop what I'm doing and think about things that leave me in a more positive attitude than before!"
"How do I deal with stress?"
"Should I get help if I feel anxious most of the time?"
"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"
"What do you do if nobody likes you"
"i don't know i just missed two weeks of school due to COVID and my grades are suffering and i can't find the motivation to work. I lose my 4.0 this year already to one A- and now i kinda feel like a failure"
"Guess what? I aced my test, 100/100!"
"I actually just got my grade up from a C to an A-"
"I turned in the test today, wish me luck."
"My best friend texted me saying she is fed up with me hurting her feelings and being mean, I don't know what I've done and apologized if I've ever done anything not on purpose. She said apparently I did something on purpose and I should know what it is. Now she won't talk to me and I'm still confused. Any advice???"
"Ok I'm scared for my speech in leadership"
"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"
"thanks, that's really nice to hear honestly. I hope you have a great day"
"I feel constantly disappointed about myself because I know I can do better, but I don't seem to be able to."
"it's all good!! just been thinking ab school & life in general. it's all stressful"
"Yes you too!! Thanks for helping me feel better"
"Kind of because I don't know where J belong"
"I appreciate it 😊most definitely👍"
"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."
"0 - I’m super sad. What do you do if nobody likes you?"
"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"
"I get bullied a lot"
"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"
"I’m stressed, I’m taking the ACT in 6 days"
"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!"
"hey, so i have this friend who i don't want to be friends with anymore but i don't know what to do?"
