Real conversations with your students.
"that sounds perfect!! thank you for your advice 🥰 i think i'm gonna do that"
"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)"
"How do I deal with stress?"
"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"
"What can I do to improve my mood?"
"Yes you too!! Thanks for helping me feel better"
"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."
"I actually just got my grade up from a C to an A-"
"“I'm grateful for you, and my family. Thanks for being here for me!! You're awesome ”"
"I think you're a genius, you just helped me sooooo much, thank you."
"How do I deal with very opinionated friends?"
"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.”"
"I have a lot of family problems. My parents are getting a divorce."
"yeah he's this guy i met thru my friends family. & we almost dated but then he ghosted me & i think he's still on & off w his ex. he plays w my feelings bc i saw him yesterday for the first time in over a month & he acted like we were still talking & everything & it was weird. so i'm not sure if o should move on or keep hoping he'll choose me"
"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"
"0 - I’m super sad. What do you do if nobody likes you?"
"That’s good, I’ll try to do that today with my friends."
"I turned in the test today, wish me luck."
"you're so right !! i'm kind of doubting the relationship because it has a lot to do w/ me trusting him!"
"No worries, monster texts are usually the best 😊 That is really helpful actually- I'm a visual learner, and that is a good image. Do you have any suggestions on how to get back to the inner circle? I get so caught up in the dregs I forget how to get out"
"That’s a great idea thank you, honestly, I really appreciate it.”"
"i'm failing all my classes"
"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?"
"That's a good idea thanks"
"Ok thanks for your help 😀"
"yes i really think being friends with her will be the best option. and thank you very much! Thank you for helping me think of new things to do to help myself!"
"im sad i aint at school i wanna kill my self"
"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."
"How do I make a paper airplane?"
"What do you do if nobody likes you"
