Real conversations with your students.
"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?"
"I’m feeling nervous"
"Should I get help if I feel anxious most of the time?"
"this is actually helping me a lot😂 so thank you !"
"I just got rejected by a girl 😂"
"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."
"it's all good!! just been thinking ab school & life in general. it's all stressful"
"Your advice really helped! Now I feel that my friends want to be around me more. 🙂"
"hey, so i have this friend who i don't want to be friends with anymore but i don't know what to do?"
"My sister has depression, what can I do to help her?"
"That’s a great idea thank you, honestly, I really appreciate it.”"
"My friends say I talk too much, any tips on how to talk less?"
"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"
"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"
"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."
"Guess what? I aced my test, 100/100!"
"I’m having major body image issues, and I can't focus on school because all I think about is how ugly I am"
"I think you're a genius, you just helped me sooooo much, thank you."
"I don’t enjoy my life anymore.I mess everything up. I dont like it. My life is painful and since then I've had 2 suicide attempts. Been like this since mid 2019"
"I've been feeling a bit stressed, I work full time. And also have been struggling to take out a motor I've bought from the junk yard."
"That is true. I'm just happy that I'm able to help him"
"I have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"
"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"
"that sounds perfect!! thank you for your advice 🥰 i think i'm gonna do that"
"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...?"
"im sad i aint at school i wanna kill my self"
"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?"
"thank you, you too!!"
"How do I make a paper airplane?"
"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!"
