Real conversations with your students.
"I don’t enjoy my life anymore.I mess everything up. I dont like it. My life is painful and since then I've had 2 suicide attempts. Been like this since mid 2019"
"I don't feel an intimate connection to anyone in my life and being in the general vicinity of people gives me extreme anxiety."
"I miss my dad, he seems to be the only one who calm me down lately. And i'm stuck in my room breaking down while trying finishing assignments before the quarter ends so i don't have a bad grade, and i just need him to be here."
"hey, so i have this friend who i don't want to be friends with anymore but i don't know what to do?"
"How do you get your teachers to like you?"
"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"
"You've been so helpful"
"I think you're a genius, you just helped me sooooo much, thank you."
"Do you think I have depression?"
"i'm failing all my classes"
"Your advice really helped! Now I feel that my friends want to be around me more. 🙂"
"I can't help in my classroom, we are online"
"i have another question. how do you feel good about yourself and things you are good at without seeming self centered?"
"You're welcome! 😉 But thanks to you too 😁"
"Thank you for being here for the students, it's great to have a person to talk to. Here's a little expression of my gratitude in video form (the audio is a little quiet so turn up the volume a little)"
"That's really comforting, thank you!"
"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"
"Most definitely, I'm happy to hear whatever you've got to say"
"Thank you so much. This program really is amazing!"
"I Don't know yesterday and today I just Felt sad when I woke up."
"it's all good!! just been thinking ab school & life in general. it's all stressful"
"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"
"How do I deal with stress?"
"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 get bullied a lot"
"How do I deal with very opinionated friends?"
"im sad i aint at school i wanna kill my self"
"I also want your opinion on something real quick: Which one should I get. Two lockets. One is a heart and the other’s an oval. They’re both the same amount. Which one should I get? The heart is the most popular, but oval is more sentimental to some?"
"What do you do if nobody likes you"
"“I'm grateful for you, and my family. Thanks for being here for me!! You're awesome ”"
