Real conversations with your students.

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

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

"The end of the quarter is kinda sucky rn"

"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, the overbearing feeling that everyone around is making you feel like you aren't good enough, like you're not deserving of the same kind of love if you're different"

"What can I do to improve my mood?"

"Why do I feel the need to hide who I really am from my friends? I end up resenting them because they're talking to the person I pretend to be, and it feels fake because I'm fake around them"

"All my friends watch tiktoks instead of doing hw and brag about it, it's like, high school culture to just procrastinate and brag about having bad grades and no sleep and everything and it doesn't click to me. But yeah I love my friends but I wish I could meet some that are more like me."

"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"

"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 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"

"Will do😀👍"

"I enjoy all of this information"

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

"i'm failing all my classes"

"Most definitely, I'm happy to hear whatever you've got to say"

"I miss my dad, he seems to be the only one who calm me down lately. And i'm stuck in my room breaking down while trying finishing assignments before the quarter ends so i don't have a bad grade, and i just need him to be here."

"I feel constantly disappointed about myself because I know I can do better, but I don't seem to be able to."

"i have another question. how do you feel good about yourself and things you are good at without seeming self centered?"

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

"I don’t enjoy my life anymore.I mess everything up. I dont like it. My life is painful and since then I've had 2 suicide attempts. Been like this since mid 2019"

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

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

"How do I make and keep friends?"

"thank you so much! i will reach out if i need to 🥰"

"I think you're a genius, you just helped me sooooo much, thank you."

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

"That is true. I'm just happy that I'm able to help him"

"yeah he's this guy i met thru my friends family. & we almost dated but then he ghosted me & i think he's still on & off w his ex. he plays w my feelings bc i saw him yesterday for the first time in over a month & he acted like we were still talking & everything & it was weird. so i'm not sure if o should move on or keep hoping he'll choose me"

"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.”"
