Real conversations with your students.
"How do I make and keep friends?"
"How do you get your teachers to like you?"
"thanks, that's really nice to hear honestly. I hope you have a great day"
"I listened to your most recent podcast about confidence, and I thought it was epic.🤙 I had a question that's related to it about something I've been dealing with recently. I already typed it up to explain the situation, and it is very long haha. Is that alright...?"
"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"
"yeah totally! thanks for your help (:"
"What do you do if nobody likes you"
"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"
"Kind of because I don't know where J belong"
"You're welcome! 😉 But thanks to you too 😁"
"I have a lot of family problems. My parents are getting a divorce."
"i'm failing all my classes"
"Okay sweet! there’s kind of a back story to it all to explain, as well as this being the first time I’ve gotten into this subject with anyone, so I’ll do that first if that's all good."
"You've been so helpful"
"Most definitely, I'm happy to hear whatever you've got to say"
"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."
"I just got rejected by a girl 😂"
"That's a good idea thanks"
"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"
"im sad i aint at school i wanna kill my self"
"Yea I'm so relieved now, thank you!"
"Ok I'm scared for my speech in leadership"
"“I'm grateful for you, and my family. Thanks for being here for me!! You're awesome ”"
"I actually just got my grade up from a C to an A-"
"I’m stressed, I’m taking the ACT in 6 days"
"How do you get rid of a sore throat?"
"Should I get help if I feel anxious most of the time?"
"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."
"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."
"0 - I’m super sad. What do you do if nobody likes you?"
