Conversations

Real conversations with your students.

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

"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"

"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"

"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"

"The bullying has been happening for a few weeks and I honestly don't know why. Me and another girl got a note directed towards me called me a f---ing retard and behind my back this kid called me an ugly a--hole. i try not to let it bother me though it's not super important cos (this sounds weird and far fetched ik) likeeeeeee why would he call me ugly unless he thought i have a higher opinion of myself then that, so he prolly knows i couldn't care less about his words like they hurt but i know he's verbally abused at home and i don't put up with it and he can't handle not having the right reactions from 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)"

"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"

"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"

"thank you, you too!!"

"I am very sad and don't feel like attending class."

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

"Man are u a real person? Also I am burnt out. But answer both questions plez"

"I feel constantly disappointed about myself because I know I can do better, but I don't seem to be able to."

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

"That’s good, I’ll try to do that today with my friends."

"“I have tried to talk a little bit to my parents but I didnt like seeing them upset, plus they are already worried about me to much as it is, I dont want to add more weight on them anymore. And I dont trust the counselors anymore”"

"I'm stressed with my grades still. Normally I have all A's but I have a C in math that I've been trying to get up but I don't get the unit I missed"

"Thank you so much for listening, sometimes I just feel like nobody is listening or understands."

"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 😅"

"Kind of because I don't know where J belong"

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

"I want girls to like me"

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

"How do I make and keep friends?"

"My friends say I talk too much, any tips on how to talk less?"

"How do you get your teachers to like you?"

"i have another question. how do you feel good about yourself and things you are good at without seeming self centered?"

"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’m having major body image issues, and I can't focus on school because all I think about is how ugly I am"

"I don't feel an intimate connection to anyone in my life and being in the general vicinity of people gives me extreme anxiety."
