Real conversations with your students.
"Okay so uh I've been thinking a lot about suicide recently, about how there isn't really any point to doing anything because you're just surviving to be ruled by someone else - I made a suicide poem and like know how I would do it and where and what I would dress in but I know I won't do it if that makes any sense? Idk what to feel"
"Most definitely, I'm happy to hear whatever you've got to say"
"What can I do to improve my mood?"
"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?"
"How do I deal with stress?"
"thank you so much! i will reach out if i need to 🥰"
"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"
"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"
"Idk, family life has gotten a little better for him, but his sisters make him feel worthless, and when his parents get after him, they yell at him so much, he feels like cutting. I always manage to make his feel better, but, I really just don't like his mom the most. She manipulates him to fo what she wants, and it just breaks him"
"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 😅"
"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"
"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'm dealing with the suicide of a family member- how do I cope?"
"I just got rejected by a girl 😂"
"I have a question, I have a friend who hasn't been making the best choices and so I've been trying to stop being friends with her how do I do that without hurting her feelings?"
"you're so right !! i'm kind of doubting the relationship because it has a lot to do w/ me trusting him!"
"I am very sad and don't feel like attending class."
"You too, have a great rest of the day😁"
"The end of the quarter is kinda sucky rn"
"I can't help in my classroom, we are online"
"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"
"0 - I’m super sad. What do you do if nobody likes you?"
"I actually just got my grade up from a C to an A-"
"I have a lot of family problems. My parents are getting a divorce."
"“Thank you so much for your support!”"
"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"
"Thank you, I love getting messages that make me stop what I'm doing and think about things that leave me in a more positive attitude than before!"
"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"
"That's really comforting, thank you!"
"I have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"
