Real conversations with your students.
"I'll try to gain the courage to talk to someone irl, if not I'll come back to talk to you- it's easy to release over text honestly 😅"
"Why do I feel the need to hide who I really am from my friends? I end up resenting them because they're talking to the person I pretend to be, and it feels fake because I'm fake around them"
"My friends say I talk too much, any tips on how to talk less?"
"that sounds perfect!! thank you for your advice 🥰 i think i'm gonna do that"
"Thank you so much. This program really is amazing!"
"There's a lot on my to do list and I feel it piling up"
"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"
"Okay sweet! there’s kind of a back story to it all to explain, as well as this being the first time I’ve gotten into this subject with anyone, so I’ll do that first if that's all good."
"I like that, I think that’s a good point, thank you for your input"
"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."
"I have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"
"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!"
"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 turned in the test today, wish me luck."
"That's a good idea thanks"
"Will do😀👍"
"Wowwww thats so cool!"
"Yes you too!! Thanks for helping me feel better"
"Guess what? I aced my test, 100/100!"
"Okay, thank you🤎"
"You're welcome! 😉 But thanks to you too 😁"
"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"
"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"
"My sister has depression, what can I do to help her?"
"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.”"
"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'm dealing with the suicide of a family member- how do I cope?"
"That is true. I'm just happy that I'm able to help him"
"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?"
