Real conversations with your students.
"How do I deal with friends that keep fighting and get me in the middle of their drama?"
"My boyfriend broke up with me"
"Ok thanks for your help 😀"
"“I'm grateful for you, and my family. Thanks for being here for me!! You're awesome ”"
"I miss my dad, he seems to be the only one who calm me down lately. And i'm stuck in my room breaking down while trying finishing assignments before the quarter ends so i don't have a bad grade, and i just need him to be here."
"I don't feel an intimate connection to anyone in my life and being in the general vicinity of people gives me extreme anxiety."
"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?"
"this is actually helping me a lot😂 so thank you !"
"My sister has depression, what can I do to help her?"
"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."
"Thank you for being here for the students, it's great to have a person to talk to. Here's a little expression of my gratitude in video form (the audio is a little quiet so turn up the volume a little)"
"Thank you so much for listening, sometimes I just feel like nobody is listening or understands."
"How do you get your teachers to like you?"
"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"
"That's a very structured way of looking at it, I think that would be a great start"
"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"
"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"
"That’s good, I’ll try to do that today with my friends."
"I actually just got my grade up from a C to an A-"
"Kind of because I don't know where J belong"
"I have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"
"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.”"
"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."
"I turned in the test today, wish me luck."
"thank you! i'm kinda stuck right now & i don't know what to do about this boy! i really like him & we've dated in the past but needed to break up to work on ourselves. we just recently decided to try again because obviously we still like & care for each other! but last night, i found out while we were broken up he did some bad things that he shouldn't have! he regrets it & says he was forced into it. at the end of the day you are responsible for the decision you make & no one can 'force' you🤷🏽♀️ i've been thinking about this all day & it makes me sick:( i know it shouldn't affect me this bad because we were broken up but i don't know if i can move past this! he's told me he is sorry SOO many times but it just hurts me:("
"I feel constantly disappointed about myself because I know I can do better, but I don't seem to be able to."
"You've been so helpful"
"Wowwww thats so cool!"
"I have been feeling just really down"
"How do I make and keep friends?"
