Real conversations with your students.
"Yes you too!! Thanks for helping me feel better"
"I love music, thank you! Thank you so much for ur help"
"Thanks for the wonderful advice"
"I actually just got my grade up from a C to an A-"
"My best friend texted me saying she is fed up with me hurting her feelings and being mean, I don't know what I've done and apologized if I've ever done anything not on purpose. She said apparently I did something on purpose and I should know what it is. Now she won't talk to me and I'm still confused. Any advice???"
"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"
"I Don't know yesterday and today I just Felt sad when I woke up."
"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."
"0 - I’m super sad. What do you do if nobody likes you?"
"i'm failing all my classes"
"thank you, you too!!"
"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!"
"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"
"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"
"How do you get your teachers to like you?"
"I lost my whole friend group of 4 years. I think that they were just so toxic. i wasn't invited to anything unless i texted them. i would leave with extreme anxiety and no one would ask me if i was ok. and they've all just changed since i met them. we don't have the same values or morals anymore"
"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"
"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)"
"That’s a great idea thank you, honestly, I really appreciate it.”"
"I have a question, I have a friend who hasn't been making the best choices and so I've been trying to stop being friends with her how do I do that without hurting her feelings?"
"I enjoy all of this information"
"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!”"
"Kind of because I don't know where J belong"
"How do I deal with very opinionated friends?"
"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 just got rejected by a girl 😂"
"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?"
"How do I feel better"
