Real conversations with your students.

"yeah totally! thanks for your help (:"

"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"

"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?"

"Do you think I have depression?"

"i want to stay friends with the girl i just talked to. we work at the same place and she's the only one who's ever been very kind to me. i just feel like my friends are very manipulative of me so i feel like i should just tell them that i'm wanting to take a break and focus on my mental health and happiness"

"I just dont rlly have anyone i can talk or relate to. Idk just feeling lonely and a little overwhelmed."

"That's a very structured way of looking at it, I think that would be a great start"

"“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”"

"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'm stressed with my grades still. Normally I have all A's but I have a C in math that I've been trying to get up but I don't get the unit I missed"

"I love music, thank you! Thank you so much for ur help"

"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"

"I was home from school for two weeks because I was depressed because my parents divorced this summer and I moved and haven't been feeling belonged at school"

"How do I feel better"

"“I'm grateful for you, and my family. Thanks for being here for me!! You're awesome ”"

"I'm dealing with the suicide of a family member- how do I cope?"

"Ok I'm scared for my speech in leadership"

"i'm failing all my classes"

"I have funeral I'm going to, ACT stuff is being shoved in my head, I have 4 college classes to keep up on, skills USA is coming up and I've been nominated to participate, and I have two jobs"

"Ya those are really awesome tips, thank u so much! Ima screenshot it so I don't forget - I appreciate your help, it's really nice to have someone to talk to 😅"

"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"

"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?"

"That’s good, I’ll try to do that today with my friends."

"I like that, I think that’s a good point, thank you for your input"

"That's a good idea thanks"

"I think you're a genius, you just helped me sooooo much, thank you."

"you're so right !! i'm kind of doubting the relationship because it has a lot to do w/ me trusting him!"

"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🤷🏻‍♂️"

"My best friend texted me saying she is fed up with me hurting her feelings and being mean, I don't know what I've done and apologized if I've ever done anything not on purpose. She said apparently I did something on purpose and I should know what it is. Now she won't talk to me and I'm still confused. Any advice???"

"Guess what? I aced my test, 100/100!"
