Real conversations with your students.
"You've been so helpful"
"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 just dont rlly have anyone i can talk or relate to. Idk just feeling lonely and a little overwhelmed."
"I actually just got my grade up from a C to an A-"
"Ok I'm scared for my speech in leadership"
"I don't really have any hobbies. I just work a lot. I work at a mexican restaurant i've climbed before but i don't do it often. I don’t really have motivation to do anything lately."
"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"
"I don't feel an intimate connection to anyone in my life and being in the general vicinity of people gives me extreme anxiety."
"How do I deal with friends that keep fighting and get me in the middle of their drama?"
"this is actually helping me a lot😂 so thank you !"
"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 feel better"
"What can I do to improve my mood?"
"0 - I’m super sad. What do you do if nobody likes you?"
"Kind of because I don't know where J belong"
"How do I make a paper airplane?"
"Yeah, my aunt took a stroke, the doctors didn’t know why and it wasn’t looking very good. She had a severe brain bleed and their hope was that her brain would swell and stop the bleeding. But 12 hours later her brain was still bleeding. She had a 3% chance of pulling through but by 8 last night she was brain dead so they took her off life support and around 4 this morning she passed"
"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?"
"My friends say I talk too much, any tips on how to talk less?"
"How do I deal with very opinionated friends?"
"Do you think I have depression?"
"I feel bad talking to my parents, because I know they will still love me if I let my grades drop and they'll always support me, but it does feel like to much pressure sometimes, especially since my older brother was so good when it came to grades and academic performance. And I'm not close enough with any of my teachers to share this kind of stuff with them...that's a good way to look at it, thank you.”"
"thank you so much! i will reach out if i need to 🥰"
"“Thank you so much for your support!”"
"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"
"I’m stressed, I’m taking the ACT in 6 days"
"Thank you so much for the help and advice!"
"I just got rejected by a girl 😂"
"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!"
"How do I get rid of a friend that is mean and is taking all of my friends"
