Real conversations with your students.
"im sad i aint at school i wanna kill my self"
"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 enjoy all of this information"
"No worries, monster texts are usually the best ๐ 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"
"Sometimes people don't tell me things because they don't want to hurt my feelings,but the fact they don't tell me hurts my feelings. What should I tell them?"
"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."
"yeah he's this guy i met thru my friends family. & we almost dated but then he ghosted me & i think he's still on & off w his ex. he plays w my feelings bc i saw him yesterday for the first time in over a month & he acted like we were still talking & everything & it was weird. so i'm not sure if o should move on or keep hoping he'll choose me"
"โThank you so much for your support!โ"
"These tips will probably help a lot for now - I'd love to stay in touch, and I'll reach out if I'm struggling again (probably sooner rather than later ๐ ) thank you so so much"
"My boyfriend broke up with me"
"Sounds good! I really appreciate you talking to me. It means a ton to me and I had a good time. Thank you. Have a good night."
"I was home from school for two weeks because I was depressed because my parents divorced this summer and I moved and haven't been feeling belonged at school"
"I don't feel an intimate connection to anyone in my life and being in the general vicinity of people gives me extreme anxiety."
"Ok thanks for your help ๐"
"I listened to your most recent podcast about confidence, and I thought it was epic.๐ค I had a question that's related to it about something I've been dealing with recently. I already typed it up to explain the situation, and it is very long haha. Is that alright...?"
"Most definitely, I'm happy to hear whatever you've got to say"
"Iโll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, theyโre quite comforting."
"Will do๐๐"
"Thanks for the wonderful advice"
"I have a lot of family problems. My parents are getting a divorce."
"Iโm feeling nervous"
"Thank you so much for listening, sometimes I just feel like nobody is listening or understands."
"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"
"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?"
"Why are boys so mean ๐ญ๐ญAre all boys mean ๐ข"
"Yes you too!! Thanks for helping me feel better"
"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"
"Thank you so much for the help and advice!"
"I just got rejected by a girl ๐"
"How do I deal with friends that keep fighting and get me in the middle of their drama?"
