Real conversations with your students.

"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"

"thank you, you too!!"

"I don't really have any hobbies. I just work a lot. I work at a mexican restaurant i've climbed before but i don't do it often. I don’t really have motivation to do anything lately."

"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"

"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"

"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"

"Why do I feel like isolating all the time? I tend to hate people a lot, they just annoy me, though I strive for connection I hate connecting then I hate myself for not being able to just be normal, it's kinda twisted🤷🏻‍♂️"

"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."

"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"

"Yea I'm so relieved now, thank you!"

"I totally agree thanks!"

"I have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"

"I’m doing better now, thank you!"

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

"I can't help in my classroom, we are online"

"I love music, thank you! Thank you so much for ur help"

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

"yeah totally! thanks for your help (:"

"Ok thanks for your help 😀"

"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."

"Will do😀👍"

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

"What do you do if nobody likes you"

"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 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!"

"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"

"My boyfriend broke up with me"

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

"Most definitely, I'm happy to hear whatever you've got to say"
