Real conversations with your students.
"How do I make a paper airplane?"
"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"
"I'm stressed with my grades still. Normally I have all A's but I have a C in math that I've been trying to get up but I don't get the unit I missed"
"i have another question. how do you feel good about yourself and things you are good at without seeming self centered?"
"that sounds perfect!! thank you for your advice 🥰 i think i'm gonna do that"
"That is true. I'm just happy that I'm able to help him"
"Your advice really helped! Now I feel that my friends want to be around me more. 🙂"
"How do you get your teachers to like you?"
"Do you think I have depression?"
"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"
"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!"
"I Don't know yesterday and today I just Felt sad when I woke up."
"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."
"Wowwww thats so cool!"
"How do I increase self-confidence while performing or just stage fright in general?"
"i don't know i just missed two weeks of school due to COVID and my grades are suffering and i can't find the motivation to work. I lose my 4.0 this year already to one A- and now i kinda feel like a failure"
"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"
"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, you too!!"
"That’s a great idea thank you, honestly, I really appreciate it.”"
"I get bullied a lot"
"There's a lot on my to do list and I feel it piling up"
"Sounds awesome!"
"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"
"That's really comforting, thank you!"
"“Thats a good idea! Ive never tried that. Usually each day I just get a 1-2 hour nap...Alright i will definitely have to! Thank you so much”"
"Quite a bit, a lot has changed for my recently, I told my parents about wanting to disassociate myself from their religion, and that's been just difficult because I'm trying to figure out what to believe, I recently gave up pornography as well, and it's been such a struggle without it, I've had an addiction to it for a few years now, so everyday life just seems much harder than usual, and as the end of the quarter nears my schoolwork is just ridiculous, so it's been quite hard to feel happy these past couple weeks"
"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 friends say I talk too much, any tips on how to talk less?"
"Thank you so much for listening, sometimes I just feel like nobody is listening or understands."
