Real conversations with your students.
"I have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"
"That’s good, I’ll try to do that today with my friends."
"How do I make a paper airplane?"
"Thanks for the wonderful advice"
"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"
"Ok I'm scared for my speech in leadership"
"I've been feeling a bit stressed, I work full time. And also have been struggling to take out a motor I've bought from the junk yard."
"What do you do if nobody likes you"
"yeah he's this guy i met thru my friends family. & we almost dated but then he ghosted me & i think he's still on & off w his ex. he plays w my feelings bc i saw him yesterday for the first time in over a month & he acted like we were still talking & everything & it was weird. so i'm not sure if o should move on or keep hoping he'll choose me"
"How do I get rid of a friend that is mean and is taking all of my friends"
"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 can't help in my classroom, we are online"
"“I have tried to talk a little bit to my parents but I didnt like seeing them upset, plus they are already worried about me to much as it is, I dont want to add more weight on them anymore. And I dont trust the counselors anymore”"
"My friends mom passed away and I don't really know what to say to him. I don't want to sound insensitive but I don't what to sound pitiful, so any advice?"
"this is actually helping me a lot😂 so thank you !"
"How do I deal with very opinionated friends?"
"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"
"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"
"Soo, the other day I got into a really heated argument with my best friend's mom, because they kinda make my friend feel down. I went to confront her, but it turned into an argument. I said some things I'm not too proud of, and wrote her an apology note, but um. I still feel sick from what I said."
"I enjoy all of this information"
"I just dont rlly have anyone i can talk or relate to. Idk just feeling lonely and a little overwhelmed."
"Should I get help if I feel anxious most of the time?"
"Thank you so much for listening, sometimes I just feel like nobody is listening or understands."
"Wowwww thats so cool!"
"My friends say I talk too much, any tips on how to talk less?"
"I appreciate it 😊most definitely👍"
"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"
"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."
"thank you, you too!!"
"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"
