Real conversations with your students.
"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"
"Will do😀👍"
"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"
"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?"
"Sometimes people don't tell me things because they don't want to hurt my feelings,but the fact they don't tell me hurts my feelings. What should I tell them?"
"this is actually helping me a lot😂 so thank you !"
"I’m stressed, I’m taking the ACT in 6 days"
"i'm failing all my classes"
"That is true. I'm just happy that I'm able to help him"
"Kind of because I don't know where J belong"
"“Thank you so much for your support!”"
"How do I deal with very opinionated friends?"
"I have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"
"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."
"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"
"you're so right !! i'm kind of doubting the relationship because it has a lot to do w/ me trusting him!"
"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"
"yeah totally! thanks for your help (:"
"Why do I feel like isolating all the time? I tend to hate people a lot, they just annoy me, though I strive for connection I hate connecting then I hate myself for not being able to just be normal, it's kinda twisted🤷🏻♂️"
"I get bullied a lot"
"thanks, that's really nice to hear honestly. I hope you have a great day"
"I was home from school for two weeks because I was depressed because my parents divorced this summer and I moved and haven't been feeling belonged at school"
"“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’m having major body image issues, and I can't focus on school because all I think about is how ugly I am"
"Do you think I have depression?"
"hey, so i have this friend who i don't want to be friends with anymore but i don't know what to do?"
"What do you do if nobody likes you"
"Yes you too!! Thanks for helping me feel better"
"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"
"Wowwww thats so cool!"
