Real conversations with your students.
"i have another question. how do you feel good about yourself and things you are good at without seeming self centered?"
"How do you get rid of a sore throat?"
"Will do😀👍"
"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"
"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"
"thanks, that's really nice to hear honestly. I hope you have a great day"
"Thanks for the wonderful advice"
"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"
"That’s a great idea thank you, honestly, I really appreciate it.”"
"Thank you so much for listening. Glad I could make your day. I dont feel comfortable talking about this with people. I am just more private of a person I suppose."
"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"
"Thank you so much for the help and advice!"
"You're welcome! 😉 But thanks to you too 😁"
"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)"
"How do I deal with friends that keep fighting and get me in the middle of their drama?"
"I'm dealing with the suicide of a family member- how do I cope?"
"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"
"Thank you so much for listening, sometimes I just feel like nobody is listening or understands."
"That's a good thought, everyone has something to contribute, sometimes it's just hard to see my part when others seem to have so much more to contribute than I do, I appreciate your help, this program is a really great idea!"
"Most definitely, I'm happy to hear whatever you've got to say"
"There's a lot on my to do list and I feel it piling up"
"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 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'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 get bullied a lot"
"Why do I feel the need to hide who I really am from my friends? I end up resenting them because they're talking to the person I pretend to be, and it feels fake because I'm fake around them"
"How do I increase self-confidence while performing or just stage fright in general?"
"How do I make and keep friends?"
"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"
"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 😅"
