Real conversations with your students.
"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"
"“I have tried to talk a little bit to my parents but I didnt like seeing them upset, plus they are already worried about me to much as it is, I dont want to add more weight on them anymore. And I dont trust the counselors anymore”"
"Yea I'm so relieved now, thank you!"
"Your advice really helped! Now I feel that my friends want to be around me more. 🙂"
"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?"
"i'm failing all my classes"
"I have been feeling just really down"
"I want girls to like me"
"The end of the quarter is kinda sucky rn"
"How do I deal with very opinionated friends?"
"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"
"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"
"Idk, family life has gotten a little better for him, but his sisters make him feel worthless, and when his parents get after him, they yell at him so much, he feels like cutting. I always manage to make his feel better, but, I really just don't like his mom the most. She manipulates him to fo what she wants, and it just breaks him"
"I like that, I think that’s a good point, thank you for your input"
"I’m feeling nervous"
"im sad i aint at school i wanna kill my self"
"Thank you so much. This program really is amazing!"
"How do I get rid of a friend that is mean and is taking all of my friends"
"I don’t enjoy my life anymore.I mess everything up. I dont like it. My life is painful and since then I've had 2 suicide attempts. Been like this since mid 2019"
"You've been so helpful"
"i have another question. how do you feel good about yourself and things you are good at without seeming self centered?"
"you're so right !! i'm kind of doubting the relationship because it has a lot to do w/ me trusting him!"
"I have a lot of family problems. My parents are getting a divorce."
"I'm dealing with the suicide of a family member- how do I cope?"
"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🤷🏻♂️"
"0 - I’m super sad. What do you do if nobody likes you?"
"Yes you too!! Thanks for helping me feel better"
"hey, so i have this friend who i don't want to be friends with anymore but i don't know what to do?"
"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"
"I lost my whole friend group of 4 years. I think that they were just so toxic. i wasn't invited to anything unless i texted them. i would leave with extreme anxiety and no one would ask me if i was ok. and they've all just changed since i met them. we don't have the same values or morals anymore"
