Real conversations with your students.
"this is actually helping me a lot😂 so thank you !"

"My boyfriend broke up with me"
"I’m doing better now, thank you!"
"What can I do to improve my mood?"
"That’s good, I’ll try to do that today with my friends."
"I just got rejected by a girl 😂"
"There's a lot on my to do list and I feel it piling up"
"I enjoy all of this information"
"i have another question. how do you feel good about yourself and things you are good at without seeming self centered?"
"Idk 😂 I am the oldest in my family and I am struggling with the idea of leaving for college. I kinda just try to not think about it but then I end up not doing the things that I need to do like apply for scholarships. When I do think about it I cry though😅 I love my family and I don't want to loose what we have but I also want to continue to grow and got to college ya know?"
"that sounds perfect!! thank you for your advice 🥰 i think i'm gonna do that"
"I'm dealing with the suicide of a family member- how do I cope?"
"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?"
"this kid said he loves me and i don't know how i feel!!! like he's so sweet but i just can't say it. it's hurting my brain"
"Thank you so much. This program really is amazing!"
"my older sister and i got into an argument and she moved out so i had to step up as older sister and then my dad kicked my mom out so i feel like i have a lot of pressure on me"
"thanks, that's really nice to hear honestly. I hope you have a great day"
"Quite a bit, a lot has changed for my recently, I told my parents about wanting to disassociate myself from their religion, and that's been just difficult because I'm trying to figure out what to believe, I recently gave up pornography as well, and it's been such a struggle without it, I've had an addiction to it for a few years now, so everyday life just seems much harder than usual, and as the end of the quarter nears my schoolwork is just ridiculous, so it's been quite hard to feel happy these past couple weeks"
"I have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"
"you're so right !! i'm kind of doubting the relationship because it has a lot to do w/ me trusting him!"
"How do I get rid of a friend that is mean and is taking all of my friends"
"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"
"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 can't help in my classroom, we are online"
"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."
"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?"
"Should I get help if I feel anxious most of the time?"
"That is true. I'm just happy that I'm able to help him"
"“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”"
