Real conversations with your students.
"How do I increase self-confidence while performing or just stage fright in general?"
"What do you do if nobody likes you"
"im sad i aint at school i wanna kill my self"
"That's a very structured way of looking at it, I think that would be a great start"
"Kind of because I don't know where J belong"
"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 have a lot of family problems. My parents are getting a divorce."
"You've been so helpful"
"I’m doing better now, thank you!"
"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 😅"
"You're welcome! 😉 But thanks to you too 😁"
"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."
"I have a math test tomorrow and that's the only class holding me back from my 4.0 and if I don't do good I'll lose it"
"I have been feeling just really down"
"There's a lot on my to do list and I feel it piling up"
"I’m feeling nervous"
"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"
"Thank you so much for listening, sometimes I just feel like nobody is listening or understands."
"idk. i just get sad randomly sometimes like my depression will just come and hit me out of nowhere when i'm feeling fine. and my doctor thought i might be bipolar but the psychologist said i wasn't so yeh. idk i'm just kinda weird lol"
"All my friends watch tiktoks instead of doing hw and brag about it, it's like, high school culture to just procrastinate and brag about having bad grades and no sleep and everything and it doesn't click to me. But yeah I love my friends but I wish I could meet some that are more like me."
"That’s a great idea thank you, honestly, I really appreciate it.”"
"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"
"Thanks for the wonderful advice"
"I turned in the test today, wish me luck."
"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 give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."
"that sounds perfect!! thank you for your advice 🥰 i think i'm gonna do that"
"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"
"thanks, that's really nice to hear honestly. I hope you have a great day"
"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?"
