Real conversations with your students.
"i want to stay friends with the girl i just talked to. we work at the same place and she's the only one who's ever been very kind to me. i just feel like my friends are very manipulative of me so i feel like i should just tell them that i'm wanting to take a break and focus on my mental health and happiness"
"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’m feeling nervous"
"I can't help in my classroom, we are online"
"Most definitely, I'm happy to hear whatever you've got to say"
"How do I make a paper airplane?"
"My best friend texted me saying she is fed up with me hurting her feelings and being mean, I don't know what I've done and apologized if I've ever done anything not on purpose. She said apparently I did something on purpose and I should know what it is. Now she won't talk to me and I'm still confused. Any advice???"
"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"
"How do I feel better"
"Okay, thank you🤎"
"“Thank you so much for your support!”"
"How do I increase self-confidence while performing or just stage fright in general?"
"I enjoy all of this information"
"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"
"How do you get your teachers to like you?"
"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."
"Your advice really helped! Now I feel that my friends want to be around me more. 🙂"
"I want girls to like me"
"I feel bad talking to my parents, because I know they will still love me if I let my grades drop and they'll always support me, but it does feel like to much pressure sometimes, especially since my older brother was so good when it came to grades and academic performance. And I'm not close enough with any of my teachers to share this kind of stuff with them...that's a good way to look at it, thank you.”"
"yeah totally! thanks for your help (:"
"That's a very structured way of looking at it, I think that would be a great start"
"How do I deal with stress?"
"that sounds perfect!! thank you for your advice 🥰 i think i'm gonna do that"
"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."
"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!"
"it's all good!! just been thinking ab school & life in general. it's all stressful"
"I just dont rlly have anyone i can talk or relate to. Idk just feeling lonely and a little overwhelmed."
"Thank you so much. This program really is amazing!"
"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"
