Real conversations with your students.
"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"
"You too, have a great rest of the day😁"
"“I'm grateful for you, and my family. Thanks for being here for me!! You're awesome ”"
"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"
"i don't know i just missed two weeks of school due to COVID and my grades are suffering and i can't find the motivation to work. I lose my 4.0 this year already to one A- and now i kinda feel like a failure"
"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 have been feeling just really down"
"0 - I’m super sad. What do you do if nobody likes you?"
"thank you, you too!!"
"How do I feel better"
"Why do I feel like isolating all the time? I tend to hate people a lot, they just annoy me, though I strive for connection I hate connecting then I hate myself for not being able to just be normal, it's kinda twisted🤷🏻♂️"
"That’s a great idea thank you, honestly, I really appreciate it.”"
"“I have tried to talk a little bit to my parents but I didnt like seeing them upset, plus they are already worried about me to much as it is, I dont want to add more weight on them anymore. And I dont trust the counselors anymore”"
"I’m feeling nervous"
"Kind of because I don't know where J belong"
"you're so right !! i'm kind of doubting the relationship because it has a lot to do w/ me trusting him!"
"What do you do if nobody likes you"
"Thank you so much for the help and advice!"
"I like that, I think that’s a good point, thank you for your input"
"it's all good!! just been thinking ab school & life in general. it's all stressful"
"How do I make a paper airplane?"
"im sad i aint at school i wanna kill my self"
"i'm failing all my classes"
"Lately I've started liking this guy in my friend group and he's really nice and everyone I know loves him but my best friend and it's been making me feel super guilty because she doesn't like being around him. I'm not really sure what to do about it though because I'm trying really hard to not pressure her and talk about him around her but I still feel like its causing a strain in our friendship"
"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"
"How do I deal with stress?"
"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)"
"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?"
"thank you so much! i will reach out if i need to 🥰"
"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"
