Real conversations with your students.
"I get bullied a lot"
"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?"
"I feel bad talking to my parents, because I know they will still love me if I let my grades drop and they'll always support me, but it does feel like to much pressure sometimes, especially since my older brother was so good when it came to grades and academic performance. And I'm not close enough with any of my teachers to share this kind of stuff with them...that's a good way to look at it, thank you.”"
"How do you get rid of a sore throat?"
"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"
"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"
"That's a very structured way of looking at it, I think that would be a great start"
"How do I feel better"
"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."
"That is true. I'm just happy that I'm able to help him"
"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???"
"Thanks for the wonderful advice"
"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"
"this is actually helping me a lot😂 so thank you !"
"I don't feel an intimate connection to anyone in my life and being in the general vicinity of people gives me extreme anxiety."
"0 - I’m super sad. What do you do if nobody likes you?"
"I like that, I think that’s a good point, thank you for your input"
"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 have been feeling just really down"
"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."
"How do I make and keep friends?"
"I Don't know yesterday and today I just Felt sad when I woke up."
"I love music, thank you! Thank you so much for ur help"
"You've been so helpful"
"Thank you so much for the help and advice!"
"Okay, thank you🤎"
"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 don't know i just missed two weeks of school due to COVID and my grades are suffering and i can't find the motivation to work. I lose my 4.0 this year already to one A- and now i kinda feel like a failure"
"you're so right !! i'm kind of doubting the relationship because it has a lot to do w/ me trusting him!"
"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."
