"The bullying has been happening for a few weeks and I honestly don't know why. Me and another girl got a note directed towards me called me a f---ing retard and behind my back this kid called me an ugly a--hole. i try not to let it bother me though it's not super important cos (this sounds weird and far fetched ik) likeeeeeee why would he call me ugly unless he thought i have a higher opinion of myself then that, so he prolly knows i couldn't care less about his words like they hurt but i know he's verbally abused at home and i don't put up with it and he can't handle not having the right reactions from me."

"I have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"

"How do I deal with stress?"

"thank you, you too!!"

"I have funeral I'm going to, ACT stuff is being shoved in my head, I have 4 college classes to keep up on, skills USA is coming up and I've been nominated to participate, and I have two jobs"

"well, the overbearing feeling that everyone around is making you feel like you aren't good enough, like you're not deserving of the same kind of love if you're different"

"You've been so helpful"

"I just got rejected by a girl 😂"

"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"

"I enjoy all of this information"

"thank you so much! i will reach out if i need to 🥰"

"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"

"I love music, thank you! Thank you so much for ur help"

"My friends say I talk too much, any tips on how to talk less?"

"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"

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

"The end of the quarter is kinda sucky rn"

"Well thank you amazing human too! It's so awesome that you take time to talk to strangers and brighten their day through this program. Keep it up! Have a great day"

"Wowwww thats so cool!"

"Well for one I'm just sad a lot of the time, I guess we could call that depression at this point, and I often act happy and good natured, and I'm trying to transition away from the religion of the masses here in St George, but I don't expect any of them to be able to understand, so I keep it to myself. Whenever I talk to them I feel like I'm constantly filtering what I really want to say because they wouldn't be ok with it"

"I Don't know yesterday and today I just Felt sad when I woke up."

"What can I do to improve my mood?"

"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"

"There's a lot on my to do list and I feel it piling up"

"“Thank you so much for your support!”"

"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"

"I don't feel an intimate connection to anyone in my life and being in the general vicinity of people gives me extreme anxiety."

"How do I deal with friends that keep fighting and get me in the middle of their drama?"

"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"

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