Real conversations with your students.
"Sometimes people don't tell me things because they don't want to hurt my feelings,but the fact they don't tell me hurts my feelings. What should I tell them?"
"my older sister and i got into an argument and she moved out so i had to step up as older sister and then my dad kicked my mom out so i feel like i have a lot of pressure on me"
"thanks, that's really nice to hear honestly. I hope you have a great day"
"I am very sad and don't feel like attending class."
"That is true. I'm just happy that I'm able to help him"
"I listened to your most recent podcast about confidence, and I thought it was epic.🤙 I had a question that's related to it about something I've been dealing with recently. I already typed it up to explain the situation, and it is very long haha. Is that alright...?"
"That's really comforting, thank you!"
"That's a very structured way of looking at it, I think that would be a great start"
"0 - I’m super sad. What do you do if nobody likes you?"
"How do I deal with friends that keep fighting and get me in the middle of their drama?"
"Do you think I have depression?"
"Thanks for the wonderful advice"
"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"
"How do you get rid of a sore throat?"
"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"
"How do I make a paper airplane?"
"Thank you so much. This program really is amazing!"
"That's a good idea thanks"
"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"
"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"
"Most definitely, I'm happy to hear whatever you've got to say"
"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.”"
"I just dont rlly have anyone i can talk or relate to. Idk just feeling lonely and a little overwhelmed."
"I appreciate it 😊most definitely👍"

"that sounds perfect!! thank you for your advice 🥰 i think i'm gonna do that"
"How do I increase self-confidence while performing or just stage fright in general?"
