Real conversations with your students.
"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"
"I have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"
"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"
"These tips will probably help a lot for now - I'd love to stay in touch, and I'll reach out if I'm struggling again (probably sooner rather than later 😅) thank you so so much"
"I can't help in my classroom, we are online"
"Well thank you amazing human too! It's so awesome that you take time to talk to strangers and brighten their day through this program. Keep it up! Have a great day"
"Yes you too!! Thanks for helping me feel better"
"I have been feeling just really down"
"Thank you so much for the help and advice!"
"that sounds perfect!! thank you for your advice 🥰 i think i'm gonna do that"
"Your advice really helped! Now I feel that my friends want to be around me more. 🙂"
"Should I get help if I feel anxious most of the time?"
"yeah totally! thanks for your help (:"
"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 😅"
"I am very sad and don't feel like attending class."
"i have another question. how do you feel good about yourself and things you are good at without seeming self centered?"
"it's all good!! just been thinking ab school & life in general. it's all stressful"
"Guess what? I aced my test, 100/100!"
"How do I increase self-confidence while performing or just stage fright in general?"
"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"
"That's a very structured way of looking at it, I think that would be a great start"
"I also want your opinion on something real quick: Which one should I get. Two lockets. One is a heart and the other’s an oval. They’re both the same amount. Which one should I get? The heart is the most popular, but oval is more sentimental to some?"
"Why do I feel the need to hide who I really am from my friends? I end up resenting them because they're talking to the person I pretend to be, and it feels fake because I'm fake around them"
"Yea I'm so relieved now, thank you!"
"I actually just got my grade up from a C to an A-"
"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'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."
"Thank you so much. This program really is amazing!"
"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"
"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"
