Real conversations with your students.
"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"
"I think you're a genius, you just helped me sooooo much, thank you."
"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"
"I have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"
"That is true. I'm just happy that I'm able to help him"
"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"
"0 - I’m super sad. What do you do if nobody likes you?"
"I feel constantly disappointed about myself because I know I can do better, but I don't seem to be able to."
"That's a very structured way of looking at it, I think that would be a great start"
"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 listened to your most recent podcast about confidence, and I thought it was epic.🤙 I had a question that's related to it about something I've been dealing with recently. I already typed it up to explain the situation, and it is very long haha. Is that alright...?"
"you're so right !! i'm kind of doubting the relationship because it has a lot to do w/ me trusting him!"
"Yes you too!! Thanks for helping me feel better"
"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"
"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"
"Soo, the other day I got into a really heated argument with my best friend's mom, because they kinda make my friend feel down. I went to confront her, but it turned into an argument. I said some things I'm not too proud of, and wrote her an apology note, but um. I still feel sick from what I said."
"that sounds perfect!! thank you for your advice 🥰 i think i'm gonna do that"
"I like that, I think that’s a good point, thank you for your input"
"How do I get rid of a friend that is mean and is taking all of my friends"
"hey, so i have this friend who i don't want to be friends with anymore but i don't know what to do?"
"I have been feeling just really down"
"thanks, that's really nice to hear honestly. I hope you have a great day"
"Guess what? I aced my test, 100/100!"
"How do I deal with very opinionated friends?"
"Thank you so much for the help and advice!"
"I'm dealing with the suicide of a family member- how do I cope?"
"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"
"My sister has depression, what can I do to help her?"
"I don't really have any hobbies. I just work a lot. I work at a mexican restaurant i've climbed before but i don't do it often. I don’t really have motivation to do anything lately."
"Yea I'm so relieved now, thank you!"
