Real conversations with your students.
"My best friend texted me saying she is fed up with me hurting her feelings and being mean, I don't know what I've done and apologized if I've ever done anything not on purpose. She said apparently I did something on purpose and I should know what it is. Now she won't talk to me and I'm still confused. Any advice???"
"I’m feeling nervous"
"yes i really think being friends with her will be the best option. and thank you very much! Thank you for helping me think of new things to do to help myself!"
"i have another question. how do you feel good about yourself and things you are good at without seeming self centered?"
"you're so right !! i'm kind of doubting the relationship because it has a lot to do w/ me trusting him!"
"I actually just got my grade up from a C to an A-"
"Guess what? I aced my test, 100/100!"
"i'm failing all my classes"

"I totally agree thanks!"
"“Thank you so much for your support!”"
"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 just dont rlly have anyone i can talk or relate to. Idk just feeling lonely and a little overwhelmed."
"I lost my whole friend group of 4 years. I think that they were just so toxic. i wasn't invited to anything unless i texted them. i would leave with extreme anxiety and no one would ask me if i was ok. and they've all just changed since i met them. we don't have the same values or morals anymore"
"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"
"Lately I've started liking this guy in my friend group and he's really nice and everyone I know loves him but my best friend and it's been making me feel super guilty because she doesn't like being around him. I'm not really sure what to do about it though because I'm trying really hard to not pressure her and talk about him around her but I still feel like its causing a strain in our friendship"
"Will do😀👍"
"Ok I'm scared for my speech in leadership"

"I love music, thank you! Thank you so much for ur help"
"I think you're a genius, you just helped me sooooo much, thank you."
"I am very sad and don't feel like attending class."
"“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”"
"thank you so much! i will reach out if i need to 🥰"
"I’m stressed, I’m taking the ACT in 6 days"
"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 I deal with very opinionated friends?"
"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"
"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?"
