Real conversations with your students.
"I actually just got my grade up from a C to an A-"
"hey thanks im sorry im just being bullied at school and i told the counselor and he's been helping me but it's only getting worse"
"I feel constantly disappointed about myself because I know I can do better, but I don't seem to be able to."
"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 can't help in my classroom, we are online"
"Kind of because I don't know where J belong"
"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"
"you're so right !! i'm kind of doubting the relationship because it has a lot to do w/ me trusting him!"
"That's a very structured way of looking at it, I think that would be a great start"
"I just got rejected by a girl 😂"
"I’m stressed, I’m taking the ACT in 6 days"
"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"
"I listened to your most recent podcast about confidence, and I thought it was epic.🤙 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...?"
"thank you, you too!!"
"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"
"“Thats a good idea! Ive never tried that. Usually each day I just get a 1-2 hour nap...Alright i will definitely have to! Thank you so much”"
"I have been feeling just really down"
"I totally agree thanks!"
"How do you get rid of a sore throat?"
"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"
"I have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"
"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!"
"My sister has depression, what can I do to help her?"
"my older sister and i got into an argument and she moved out so i had to step up as older sister and then my dad kicked my mom out so i feel like i have a lot of pressure on me"
"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 😅) thank you so so much"
"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 😅"
"I have a lot of family problems. My parents are getting a divorce."
"Man are u a real person? Also I am burnt out. But answer both questions plez"
"How do I deal with very opinionated friends?"
"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"
