Real conversations with your students.
"There's a lot on my to do list and I feel it piling up"
"How do I increase self-confidence while performing or just stage fright in general?"
"it's all good!! just been thinking ab school & life in general. it's all stressful"
"Yeah, my aunt took a stroke, the doctors didn’t know why and it wasn’t looking very good. She had a severe brain bleed and their hope was that her brain would swell and stop the bleeding. But 12 hours later her brain was still bleeding. She had a 3% chance of pulling through but by 8 last night she was brain dead so they took her off life support and around 4 this morning she passed"
"My boyfriend broke up with me"
"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."
"idk. i just get sad randomly sometimes like my depression will just come and hit me out of nowhere when i'm feeling fine. and my doctor thought i might be bipolar but the psychologist said i wasn't so yeh. idk i'm just kinda weird lol"
"I feel constantly disappointed about myself because I know I can do better, but I don't seem to be able to."
"That's a good idea thanks"
"“Thank you so much for your support!”"
"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?"
"I totally agree thanks!"
"you're so right !! i'm kind of doubting the relationship because it has a lot to do w/ me trusting him!"
"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."
"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???"
"I like that, I think that’s a good point, thank you for your input"
"I'm stressed with my grades still. Normally I have all A's but I have a C in math that I've been trying to get up but I don't get the unit I missed"
"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"
"How do you get rid of a sore throat?"
"Thank you so much for listening, sometimes I just feel like nobody is listening or understands."
"I’m doing better now, thank you!"
"You're welcome! 😉 But thanks to you too 😁"
"That is true. I'm just happy that I'm able to help him"
"I actually just got my grade up from a C to an A-"
"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...?"
"All my friends watch tiktoks instead of doing hw and brag about it, it's like, high school culture to just procrastinate and brag about having bad grades and no sleep and everything and it doesn't click to me. But yeah I love my friends but I wish I could meet some that are more like me."
"I want girls to like me"
"Sounds awesome!"
"How do I make a paper airplane?"
"You've been so helpful"
