Real conversations with your students.
"I actually just got my grade up from a C to an A-"
"I was home from school for two weeks because I was depressed because my parents divorced this summer and I moved and haven't been feeling belonged at school"
"I don't feel an intimate connection to anyone in my life and being in the general vicinity of people gives me extreme anxiety."
"I just got rejected by a girl 😂"
"i'm failing all my classes"
"thank you! i'm kinda stuck right now & i don't know what to do about this boy! i really like him & we've dated in the past but needed to break up to work on ourselves. we just recently decided to try again because obviously we still like & care for each other! but last night, i found out while we were broken up he did some bad things that he shouldn't have! he regrets it & says he was forced into it. at the end of the day you are responsible for the decision you make & no one can 'force' you🤷🏽♀️ i've been thinking about this all day & it makes me sick:( i know it shouldn't affect me this bad because we were broken up but i don't know if i can move past this! he's told me he is sorry SOO many times but it just hurts me:("
"it's all good!! just been thinking ab school & life in general. it's all stressful"
"yes i really think being friends with her will be the best option. and thank you very much! Thank you for helping me think of new things to do to help myself!"
"“Thank you so much for your support!”"
"hey, so i have this friend who i don't want to be friends with anymore but i don't know what to do?"
"Yes you too!! Thanks for helping me feel better"
"Idk 😂 I am the oldest in my family and I am struggling with the idea of leaving for college. I kinda just try to not think about it but then I end up not doing the things that I need to do like apply for scholarships. When I do think about it I cry though😅 I love my family and I don't want to loose what we have but I also want to continue to grow and got to college ya know?"
"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"
"Yea I'm so relieved now, thank you!"
"I have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"
"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"
"That's a very structured way of looking at it, I think that would be a great start"
"“I'm grateful for you, and my family. Thanks for being here for me!! You're awesome ”"
"What can I do to improve my mood?"
"Wowwww thats so cool!"
"I've been feeling a bit stressed, I work full time. And also have been struggling to take out a motor I've bought from the junk yard."
"I totally agree thanks!"
"yeah he's this guy i met thru my friends family. & we almost dated but then he ghosted me & i think he's still on & off w his ex. he plays w my feelings bc i saw him yesterday for the first time in over a month & he acted like we were still talking & everything & it was weird. so i'm not sure if o should move on or keep hoping he'll choose me"
"That's a good idea thanks"
"How do I deal with very opinionated friends?"
"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."
"You too, have a great rest of the day😁"
"The end of the quarter is kinda sucky rn"
"Kind of because I don't know where J belong"
"Ok thanks for your help 😀"
