Real conversations with your students.
"You've been so helpful"
"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"
"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"
"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"
"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."
"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 😅"
"Okay so uh I've been thinking a lot about suicide recently, about how there isn't really any point to doing anything because you're just surviving to be ruled by someone else - I made a suicide poem and like know how I would do it and where and what I would dress in but I know I won't do it if that makes any sense? Idk what to feel"
"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"
"this is actually helping me a lot😂 so thank you !"
"Ok I'm scared for my speech in leadership"
"That is true. I'm just happy that I'm able to help him"
"That's a very structured way of looking at it, I think that would be a great start"
"Man are u a real person? Also I am burnt out. But answer both questions plez"
"I’m having major body image issues, and I can't focus on school because all I think about is how ugly I am"
"“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 failing all my classes"
"I turned in the test today, wish me luck."
"Thanks for the wonderful advice"
"Thank you for being here for the students, it's great to have a person to talk to. Here's a little expression of my gratitude in video form (the audio is a little quiet so turn up the volume a little)"
"Thank you so much for listening, sometimes I just feel like nobody is listening or understands."
"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"
"My sister has depression, what can I do to help her?"
"How do you get your teachers to like you?"
"yeah totally! thanks for your help (:"
"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."
"How do I deal with very opinionated friends?"
"I am very sad and don't feel like attending class."
"Should I get help if I feel anxious most of the time?"
"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"
"I can't help in my classroom, we are online"
