Real conversations with your students.
"Your advice really helped! Now I feel that my friends want to be around me more. 🙂"
"Ok I'm scared for my speech in leadership"
"That’s good, I’ll try to do that today with my friends."
"hey, so i have this friend who i don't want to be friends with anymore but i don't know what to do?"
"Idk 😂 I am the oldest in my family and I am struggling with the idea of leaving for college. I kinda just try to not think about it but then I end up not doing the things that I need to do like apply for scholarships. When I do think about it I cry though😅 I love my family and I don't want to loose what we have but I also want to continue to grow and got to college ya know?"
"Ya those are really awesome tips, thank u so much! Ima screenshot it so I don't forget - I appreciate your help, it's really nice to have someone to talk to 😅"
"i want to stay friends with the girl i just talked to. we work at the same place and she's the only one who's ever been very kind to me. i just feel like my friends are very manipulative of me so i feel like i should just tell them that i'm wanting to take a break and focus on my mental health and happiness"
"That's a good idea thanks"
"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."
"My friends mom passed away and I don't really know what to say to him. I don't want to sound insensitive but I don't what to sound pitiful, so any advice?"
"I don't feel an intimate connection to anyone in my life and being in the general vicinity of people gives me extreme anxiety."
"How do you get rid of a sore throat?"
"How do I make a paper airplane?"
"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.”"
"I turned in the test today, wish me luck."
"I like that, I think that’s a good point, thank you for your input"
"How do I increase self-confidence while performing or just stage fright in general?"
"thank you, you too!!"
"Idk, family life has gotten a little better for him, but his sisters make him feel worthless, and when his parents get after him, they yell at him so much, he feels like cutting. I always manage to make his feel better, but, I really just don't like his mom the most. She manipulates him to fo what she wants, and it just breaks him"
"Well for one I'm just sad a lot of the time, I guess we could call that depression at this point, and I often act happy and good natured, and I'm trying to transition away from the religion of the masses here in St George, but I don't expect any of them to be able to understand, so I keep it to myself. Whenever I talk to them I feel like I'm constantly filtering what I really want to say because they wouldn't be ok with it"
"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"
"How do you get your teachers to like you?"
"These tips will probably help a lot for now - I'd love to stay in touch, and I'll reach out if I'm struggling again (probably sooner rather than later 😅) thank you so so much"
"Thank you so much. This program really is amazing!"
"I have a lot of family problems. My parents are getting a divorce."
"Okay, thank you🤎"
"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"
"You too, have a great rest of the day😁"
"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"
"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."
