Real conversations with your students.
"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?"
"That's really comforting, thank you!"
"Well thank you amazing human too! It's so awesome that you take time to talk to strangers and brighten their day through this program. Keep it up! Have a great day"
"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"
"Ok I'm scared for my speech in leadership"
"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 think you're a genius, you just helped me sooooo much, thank you."
"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"
"You're welcome! 😉 But thanks to you too 😁"
"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 😅"
"What can I do to improve my mood?"
"How do you get your teachers to like you?"
"I want girls to like me"
"What do you do if nobody likes you"
"I actually just got my grade up from a C to an A-"
"i'm failing all my classes"
"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"
"I just got rejected by a girl 😂"
"Guess what? I aced my test, 100/100!"
"I feel constantly disappointed about myself because I know I can do better, but I don't seem to be able to."
"Most definitely, I'm happy to hear whatever you've got to say"
"im sad i aint at school i wanna kill my self"
"“I'm grateful for you, and my family. Thanks for being here for me!! You're awesome ”"
"Yes you too!! Thanks for helping me feel better"
"How do I get rid of a friend that is mean and is taking all of my friends"
"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!"
"Thank you, I love getting messages that make me stop what I'm doing and think about things that leave me in a more positive attitude than before!"
"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"
"Thank you so much for listening, sometimes I just feel like nobody is listening or understands."
"idk. i just get sad randomly sometimes like my depression will just come and hit me out of nowhere when i'm feeling fine. and my doctor thought i might be bipolar but the psychologist said i wasn't so yeh. idk i'm just kinda weird lol"
