Real conversations with your students.

"yeah totally! thanks for your help (:"

"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’m doing better now, thank you!"

"0 - I’m super sad. What do you do if nobody likes you?"

"“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”"

"Most definitely, I'm happy to hear whatever you've got to say"

"Ok I'm scared for my speech in leadership"

"i want to stay friends with the girl i just talked to. we work at the same place and she's the only one who's ever been very kind to me. i just feel like my friends are very manipulative of me so i feel like i should just tell them that i'm wanting to take a break and focus on my mental health and happiness"

"How do I deal with stress?"

"Quite a bit, a lot has changed for my recently, I told my parents about wanting to disassociate myself from their religion, and that's been just difficult because I'm trying to figure out what to believe, I recently gave up pornography as well, and it's been such a struggle without it, I've had an addiction to it for a few years now, so everyday life just seems much harder than usual, and as the end of the quarter nears my schoolwork is just ridiculous, so it's been quite hard to feel happy these past couple weeks"

"I’m having major body image issues, and I can't focus on school because all I think about is how ugly I am"

"That's a very structured way of looking at it, I think that would be a great start"

"Will do😀👍"

"I get bullied a lot"

"“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”"

"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"

"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'm dealing with the suicide of a family member- how do I cope?"

"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."

"You too, have a great rest of the day😁"

"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"

"I’m stressed, I’m taking the ACT in 6 days"

"What can I do to improve my mood?"

"“I'm grateful for you, and my family. Thanks for being here for me!! You're awesome ”"

"That’s a great idea thank you, honestly, I really appreciate it.”"

"I just got rejected by a girl 😂"

"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."

"How do I increase self-confidence while performing or just stage fright in general?"

"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...?"

"Thank you so much for the help and advice!"
