Real conversations with your students.
"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."
"Should I get help if I feel anxious most of the time?"
"im sad i aint at school i wanna kill my self"
"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 get bullied a lot"
"My boyfriend broke up with me"
"I am very sad and don't feel like attending class."
"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"
"You're welcome! 😉 But thanks to you too 😁"
"How do I make and keep friends?"
"Thank you so much for listening, sometimes I just feel like nobody is listening or understands."
"You've been so helpful"
"My sister has depression, what can I do to help her?"
"0 - I’m super sad. What do you do if nobody likes you?"
"Sounds good! I really appreciate you talking to me. It means a ton to me and I had a good time. Thank you. Have a good night."
"I turned in the test today, wish me luck."
"hey thanks im sorry im just being bullied at school and i told the counselor and he's been helping me but it's only getting worse"
"thank you so much! i will reach out if i need to 🥰"
"How do I get rid of a friend that is mean and is taking all of my friends"
"I’m having major body image issues, and I can't focus on school because all I think about is how ugly I am"
"I totally agree thanks!"
"i have another question. how do you feel good about yourself and things you are good at without seeming self centered?"
"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"
"How do I increase self-confidence while performing or just stage fright in general?"
"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"
"I Don't know yesterday and today I just Felt sad when I woke up."
"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"
"thanks, that's really nice to hear honestly. I hope you have a great day"
"Wowwww thats so cool!"
"Yes you too!! Thanks for helping me feel better"
