Conversations

Real conversations with your students.

"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."

"I have a lot of family problems. My parents are getting a divorce."

"i have another question. how do you feel good about yourself and things you are good at without seeming self centered?"

"I have a math test tomorrow and that's the only class holding me back from my 4.0 and if I don't do good I'll lose it"

"How do I deal with very opinionated friends?"

"My boyfriend broke up with me"

"I get bullied a lot"

"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"

"well, the overbearing feeling that everyone around is making you feel like you aren't good enough, like you're not deserving of the same kind of love if you're different"

"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"

"Thank you so much. This program really is amazing!"

"I don't feel an intimate connection to anyone in my life and being in the general vicinity of people gives me extreme anxiety."

"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"

"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"

"Yea I'm so relieved now, thank you!"

"Sounds awesome!"

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

"I totally agree thanks!"

"Thank you so much for the help and advice!"

"this is actually helping me a lot😂 so thank you !"

"I feel constantly disappointed about myself because I know I can do better, but I don't seem to be able to."

"How do I make a paper airplane?"

"I’m feeling nervous"

"thank you, you too!!"

"That’s a great idea thank you, honestly, I really appreciate it.”"

"I want girls to like me"

"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"

"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"

"Okay so uh I've been thinking a lot about suicide recently, about how there isn't really any point to doing anything because you're just surviving to be ruled by someone else - I made a suicide poem and like know how I would do it and where and what I would dress in but I know I won't do it if that makes any sense? Idk what to feel"

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