Real conversations with your students.
"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."
"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"
"Thanks for the wonderful advice"
"Most definitely, I'm happy to hear whatever you've got to say"
"How do I increase self-confidence while performing or just stage fright in general?"
"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"
"Okay, thank you🤎"
"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"
"Guess what? I aced my test, 100/100!"
"What do you do if nobody likes you"
"How do I make a paper airplane?"
"“Thank you so much for your support!”"
"Wowwww thats so cool!"
"I also want your opinion on something real quick: Which one should I get. Two lockets. One is a heart and the other’s an oval. They’re both the same amount. Which one should I get? The heart is the most popular, but oval is more sentimental to some?"
"I like that, I think that’s a good point, thank you for your input"
"You too, have a great rest of the day😁"
"How do I deal with very opinionated friends?"
"I turned in the test today, wish me luck."
"Lately I've started liking this guy in my friend group and he's really nice and everyone I know loves him but my best friend and it's been making me feel super guilty because she doesn't like being around him. I'm not really sure what to do about it though because I'm trying really hard to not pressure her and talk about him around her but I still feel like its causing a strain in our friendship"
"That is true. I'm just happy that I'm able to help him"
"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 just dont rlly have anyone i can talk or relate to. Idk just feeling lonely and a little overwhelmed."
"I have a lot of family problems. My parents are getting a divorce."
"Should I get help if I feel anxious most of the time?"
"My sister has depression, what can I do to help her?"
"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 😅"
"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."
"I appreciate it 😊most definitely👍"
"I'm dealing with the suicide of a family member- how do I cope?"
"I'll try to gain the courage to talk to someone irl, if not I'll come back to talk to you- it's easy to release over text honestly 😅"
