Real conversations with your students.
"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"
"Thanks for the wonderful advice"
"I want girls to like me"
"Wowwww thats so cool!"
"thanks, that's really nice to hear honestly. I hope you have a great day"
"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 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'm grateful for you, and my family. Thanks for being here for me!! You're awesome ”"
"I’m doing better now, thank you!"
"There's a lot on my to do list and I feel it piling up"
"How do I make and keep friends?"
"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"
"The bullying has been happening for a few weeks and I honestly don't know why. Me and another girl got a note directed towards me called me a f---ing retard and behind my back this kid called me an ugly a--hole. i try not to let it bother me though it's not super important cos (this sounds weird and far fetched ik) likeeeeeee why would he call me ugly unless he thought i have a higher opinion of myself then that, so he prolly knows i couldn't care less about his words like they hurt but i know he's verbally abused at home and i don't put up with it and he can't handle not having the right reactions from me."
"I am very sad and don't feel like attending class."
"Yes you too!! Thanks for helping me feel better"
"Yea I'm so relieved now, thank you!"
"I’m stressed, I’m taking the ACT in 6 days"
"I like that, I think that’s a good point, thank you for your input"
"Sounds awesome!"
"What can I do to improve my mood?"
"I don't feel an intimate connection to anyone in my life and being in the general vicinity of people gives me extreme anxiety."
"Ya those are really awesome tips, thank u so much! Ima screenshot it so I don't forget - I appreciate your help, it's really nice to have someone to talk to 😅"
"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:("
"My boyfriend broke up with me"
"0 - I’m super sad. What do you do if nobody likes you?"
"I have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"
"I feel constantly disappointed about myself because I know I can do better, but I don't seem to be able to."
"thank you, you too!!"
"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"
