"Wowwww thats so cool!"

"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"

"I've been feeling a bit stressed, I work full time. And also have been struggling to take out a motor I've bought from the junk yard."

"How do you get rid of a sore throat?"

"That is true. I'm just happy that I'm able to help him"

"That's a good thought, everyone has something to contribute, sometimes it's just hard to see my part when others seem to have so much more to contribute than I do, I appreciate your help, this program is a really great idea"

"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"

"Thank you so much. This program really is amazing!"

"Sounds awesome!"

"My sister has depression, what can I do to help her?"

"How do I get rid of a friend that is mean and is taking all of my friends"

"I have been feeling just really down"

"thanks, that's really nice to hear honestly. I hope you have a great day"

"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 stress?"

"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."

"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)"

"Why do I feel like isolating all the time? I tend to hate people a lot, they just annoy me, though I strive for connection I hate connecting then I hate myself for not being able to just be normal, it's kinda twisted🤷🏻‍♂️"

"it's all good!! just been thinking ab school & life in general. it's all stressful"

"thank you so much! i will reach out if i need to 🥰"

"How do I make and keep friends?"

"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."

"Most definitely, I'm happy to hear whatever you've got to say"

"0 - I’m super sad. What do you do if nobody likes you?"

"im sad i aint at school i wanna kill my self"

"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."

"That’s a great idea thank you, honestly, I really appreciate it.”"

"thank you, you too!!"

"I turned in the test today, wish me luck."

"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"
