Real conversations with your students.
"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"
"You've been so helpful"
"I’m stressed, I’m taking the ACT in 6 days"
"Do you think I have depression?"
"That’s good, I’ll try to do that today with my friends."
"I’m feeling nervous"
"That’s a great idea thank you, honestly, I really appreciate it.”"
"i have another question. how do you feel good about yourself and things you are good at without seeming self centered?"
"My friends say I talk too much, any tips on how to talk less?"
"I listened to your most recent podcast about confidence, and I thought it was epic.🤙 I had a question that's related to it about something I've been dealing with recently. I already typed it up to explain the situation, and it is very long haha. Is that alright...?"
"Quite a bit, a lot has changed for my recently, I told my parents about wanting to disassociate myself from their religion, and that's been just difficult because I'm trying to figure out what to believe, I recently gave up pornography as well, and it's been such a struggle without it, I've had an addiction to it for a few years now, so everyday life just seems much harder than usual, and as the end of the quarter nears my schoolwork is just ridiculous, so it's been quite hard to feel happy these past couple weeks"
"thank you so much! i will reach out if i need to 🥰"
"Thank you so much for listening. Glad I could make your day. I dont feel comfortable talking about this with people. I am just more private of a person I suppose."
"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"
"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."
"How do I deal with very opinionated friends?"
"How do you get your teachers to like you?"
"I have been feeling just really down"
"I also want your opinion on something real quick: Which one should I get. Two lockets. One is a heart and the other’s an oval. They’re both the same amount. Which one should I get? The heart is the most popular, but oval is more sentimental to some?"
"I Don't know yesterday and today I just Felt sad when I woke up."
"thanks, that's really nice to hear honestly. I hope you have a great day"
"I’m doing better now, thank you!"
"Wowwww thats so cool!"
"0 - I’m super sad. What do you do if nobody likes you?"
"that sounds perfect!! thank you for your advice 🥰 i think i'm gonna do that"
"Guess what? I aced my test, 100/100!"
"“Thats a good idea! Ive never tried that. Usually each day I just get a 1-2 hour nap...Alright i will definitely have to! Thank you so much”"
"I get bullied a lot"
"I enjoy all of this information"
"you're so right !! i'm kind of doubting the relationship because it has a lot to do w/ me trusting him!"
