Real conversations with your students.
"That's a good idea thanks"
"How do you get rid of a sore throat?"
"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."
"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...?"
"My sister has depression, what can I do to help her?"
"No worries, monster texts are usually the best 😊 That is really helpful actually- I'm a visual learner, and that is a good image. Do you have any suggestions on how to get back to the inner circle? I get so caught up in the dregs I forget how to get out"
"“Thank you so much for your support!”"
"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."
"I totally agree thanks!"
"I’m feeling nervous"
"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"
"Okay, thank you🤎"
"I think you're a genius, you just helped me sooooo much, thank you."
"I’m having major body image issues, and I can't focus on school because all I think about is how ugly I am"
"Your advice really helped! Now I feel that my friends want to be around me more. 🙂"
"How do you get your teachers to like you?"
"i'm failing all my classes"
"it's all good!! just been thinking ab school & life in general. it's all stressful"
"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?"
"thank you, you too!!"
"thanks, that's really nice to hear honestly. I hope you have a great day"
"I’m stressed, I’m taking the ACT in 6 days"
"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"
"I turned in the test today, wish me luck."
"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."
"Thank you so much for the help and advice!"
"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."
"Sounds awesome!"
"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.”"
