Real conversations with your students.
"I’m having major body image issues, and I can't focus on school because all I think about is how ugly I am"
"I have a lot of family problems. My parents are getting a divorce."
"Yea I'm so relieved now, thank you!"
"My boyfriend broke up with me"
"“I'm grateful for you, and my family. Thanks for being here for me!! You're awesome ”"
"My sister has depression, what can I do to help her?"
"I can't help in my classroom, we are online"
"Thank you so much for listening. Glad I could make your day. I dont feel comfortable talking about this with people. I am just more private of a person I suppose."
"Sounds awesome!"
"Your advice really helped! Now I feel that my friends want to be around me more. 🙂"
"“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”"
"Thanks for the wonderful advice"
"Man are u a real person? Also I am burnt out. But answer both questions plez"
"i have another question. how do you feel good about yourself and things you are good at without seeming self centered?"
"“Thank you so much for your support!”"
"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?"
"0 - I’m super sad. What do you do if nobody likes you?"
"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"
"You've been so helpful"
"How do I feel better"
"I want girls to like me"
"i don't know i just missed two weeks of school due to COVID and my grades are suffering and i can't find the motivation to work. I lose my 4.0 this year already to one A- and now i kinda feel like a failure"
"I turned in the test today, wish me luck."
"Okay sweet! there’s kind of a back story to it all to explain, as well as this being the first time I’ve gotten into this subject with anyone, so I’ll do that first if that's all good."
"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"
"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 am very sad and don't feel like attending class."
"That's a very structured way of looking at it, I think that would be a great start"
"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"
"Guess what? I aced my test, 100/100!"
