Real conversations with your students.
"I have friends but they never supported me through anything i guess i will need to find another way. You're really the only thing(?) that has ever actually listened to my thoughts"
"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 don’t enjoy my life anymore.I mess everything up. I dont like it. My life is painful and since then I've had 2 suicide attempts. Been like this since mid 2019"
"All my friends watch tiktoks instead of doing hw and brag about it, it's like, high school culture to just procrastinate and brag about having bad grades and no sleep and everything and it doesn't click to me. But yeah I love my friends but I wish I could meet some that are more like me."
"yes i really think being friends with her will be the best option. and thank you very much! Thank you for helping me think of new things to do to help myself!"
"I have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"
"Should I get help if I feel anxious most of the time?"
"I'm dealing with the suicide of a family member- how do I cope?"
"yeah totally! thanks for your help (:"
"My sister has depression, what can I do to help her?"
"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"
"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"
"0 - I’m super sad. What do you do if nobody likes you?"
"That's really comforting, thank you!"
"thanks, that's really nice to hear honestly. I hope you have a great day"
"I feel constantly disappointed about myself because I know I can do better, but I don't seem to be able to."
"“Thank you so much for your support!”"
"I have a lot of family problems. My parents are getting a divorce."
"My friends mom passed away and I don't really know what to say to him. I don't want to sound insensitive but I don't what to sound pitiful, so any advice?"
"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"
"I just got rejected by a girl 😂"
"Thank you so much for the help and advice!"
"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."
"How do I feel better"
"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"
"Okay, thank you🤎"
"I have been feeling just really down"
"The end of the quarter is kinda sucky rn"
"I appreciate it 😊most definitely👍"
"There's a lot on my to do list and I feel it piling up"
