"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"

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

"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"

"Do you think I have depression?"

"“I'm grateful for you, and my family. Thanks for being here for me!! You're awesome ”"

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

"Well thank you amazing human too! It's so awesome that you take time to talk to strangers and brighten their day through this program. Keep it up! Have a great day"

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

"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"

"Thank you so much. This program really is amazing!"

"That's really comforting, thank you!"

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

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

"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"

"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."

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

"Yea I'm so relieved now, thank you!"

"How do I deal with friends that keep fighting and get me in the middle of their drama?"

"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 get bullied a lot"

"I Don't know yesterday and today I just Felt sad when I woke up."

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

"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?"

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

"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"

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

"I have been feeling just really down"

"I feel bad talking to my parents, because I know they will still love me if I let my grades drop and they'll always support me, but it does feel like to much pressure sometimes, especially since my older brother was so good when it came to grades and academic performance. And I'm not close enough with any of my teachers to share this kind of stuff with them...that's a good way to look at it, thank you.”"

"There's a lot on my to do list and I feel it piling up"
