Real conversations with your students.
"you're so right !! i'm kind of doubting the relationship because it has a lot to do w/ me trusting him!"
"I totally agree thanks!"
"Should I get help if I feel anxious most of the time?"
"this kid said he loves me and i don't know how i feel!!! like he's so sweet but i just can't say it. it's hurting my brain"
"I feel constantly disappointed about myself because I know I can do better, but I don't seem to be able to."
"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...?"
"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."
"“Thank you so much for your support!”"
"I have a math test tomorrow and that's the only class holding me back from my 4.0 and if I don't do good I'll lose it"
"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."
"Ok I'm scared for my speech in leadership"
"How do I make and keep friends?"
"I'm stressed with my grades still. Normally I have all A's but I have a C in math that I've been trying to get up but I don't get the unit I missed"
"I think you're a genius, you just helped me sooooo much, thank you."
"How do I deal with stress?"
"0 - I’m super sad. What do you do if nobody likes you?"
"The end of the quarter is kinda sucky rn"
"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"
"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"
"thank you, you too!!"
"“I'm grateful for you, and my family. Thanks for being here for me!! You're awesome ”"
"I'm dealing with the suicide of a family member- how do I cope?"
"Kind of because I don't know where J belong"
"My boyfriend broke up with me"
"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."
"Ok thanks for your help 😀"
"Yeah, my aunt took a stroke, the doctors didn’t know why and it wasn’t looking very good. She had a severe brain bleed and their hope was that her brain would swell and stop the bleeding. But 12 hours later her brain was still bleeding. She had a 3% chance of pulling through but by 8 last night she was brain dead so they took her off life support and around 4 this morning she passed"
"You've been so helpful"
"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"
"Thanks for the wonderful advice"
