Real conversations with your students.
"Guess what? I aced my test, 100/100!"
"Should I get help if I feel anxious most of the time?"
"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."
"There's a lot on my to do list and I feel it piling up"
"Okay, thank you🤎"
"this is actually helping me a lot😂 so thank you !"
"Lately I've started liking this guy in my friend group and he's really nice and everyone I know loves him but my best friend and it's been making me feel super guilty because she doesn't like being around him. I'm not really sure what to do about it though because I'm trying really hard to not pressure her and talk about him around her but I still feel like its causing a strain in our friendship"
"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"
"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!"
"How do I increase self-confidence while performing or just stage fright in general?"
"That's a very structured way of looking at it, I think that would be a great start"
"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"
"I appreciate it 😊most definitely👍"
"I have funeral I'm going to, ACT stuff is being shoved in my head, I have 4 college classes to keep up on, skills USA is coming up and I've been nominated to participate, and I have two jobs"
"How do you get rid of a sore throat?"
"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"
"I am very sad and don't feel like attending class."
"The end of the quarter is kinda sucky rn"
"How do I deal with stress?"
"My sister has depression, what can I do to help her?"
"“I have tried to talk a little bit to my parents but I didnt like seeing them upset, plus they are already worried about me to much as it is, I dont want to add more weight on them anymore. And I dont trust the counselors anymore”"
"“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’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."
"Yes you too!! Thanks for helping me feel better"
"Your advice really helped! Now I feel that my friends want to be around me more. 🙂"
"I’m doing better now, thank you!"
"Most definitely, I'm happy to hear whatever you've got to say"
"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 totally agree thanks!"
"“I'm grateful for you, and my family. Thanks for being here for me!! You're awesome ”"
