Real conversations with your students.
"Most definitely, I'm happy to hear whatever you've got to say"
"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"
"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"
"How do I deal with stress?"
"The end of the quarter is kinda sucky rn"
"How do I increase self-confidence while performing or just stage fright in general?"
"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"
"My boyfriend broke up with me"
"Guess what? I aced my test, 100/100!"
"I’m stressed, I’m taking the ACT in 6 days"
"I appreciate it 😊most definitely👍"
"How do I make a paper airplane?"
"thank you! i'm kinda stuck right now & i don't know what to do about this boy! i really like him & we've dated in the past but needed to break up to work on ourselves. we just recently decided to try again because obviously we still like & care for each other! but last night, i found out while we were broken up he did some bad things that he shouldn't have! he regrets it & says he was forced into it. at the end of the day you are responsible for the decision you make & no one can 'force' you🤷🏽♀️ i've been thinking about this all day & it makes me sick:( i know it shouldn't affect me this bad because we were broken up but i don't know if i can move past this! he's told me he is sorry SOO many times but it just hurts me:("
"thanks, that's really nice to hear honestly. I hope you have a great day"
"0 - I’m super sad. What do you do if nobody likes you?"
"Thanks for the wonderful advice"
"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 feeling nervous"
"i'm failing all my classes"
"yeah totally! thanks for your help (:"
"That's a very structured way of looking at it, I think that would be a great start"
"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."
"I think you're a genius, you just helped me sooooo much, thank you."
"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!"
"I lost my whole friend group of 4 years. I think that they were just so toxic. i wasn't invited to anything unless i texted them. i would leave with extreme anxiety and no one would ask me if i was ok. and they've all just changed since i met them. we don't have the same values or morals anymore"
"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?"
"“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 have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"
"I enjoy all of this information"
"Yes you too!! Thanks for helping me feel better"
