Real conversations with your students.
"My sister has depression, what can I do to help her?"
"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"
"hey, so i have this friend who i don't want to be friends with anymore but i don't know what to do?"
"i'm failing all my classes"
"That's a good idea thanks"
"I don't really have any hobbies. I just work a lot. I work at a mexican restaurant i've climbed before but i don't do it often. I don’t really have motivation to do anything lately."
"I don't feel an intimate connection to anyone in my life and being in the general vicinity of people gives me extreme anxiety."
"I’m doing better now, thank you!"
"Guess what? I aced my test, 100/100!"
"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"
"I’m stressed, I’m taking the ACT in 6 days"
"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"
"I want girls to like me"
"My friends say I talk too much, any tips on how to talk less?"
"That’s a great idea thank you, honestly, I really appreciate it.”"
"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."
"How do I feel better"
"How do I make and keep friends?"
"“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”"
"Ok I'm scared for my speech in leadership"
"How do I get rid of a friend that is mean and is taking all of my friends"
"How do I deal with stress?"
"Thank you so much. This program really is amazing!"
"yeah totally! thanks for your help (:"
"thank you so much! i will reach out if i need to 🥰"
"I enjoy all of this information"
"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"
"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?"
"How do you get your teachers to like you?"
"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"
