Real conversations with your students.
"Ok thanks for your help 😀"
"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🤷🏻♂️"
"Your advice really helped! Now I feel that my friends want to be around me more. 🙂"
"I have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"
"I’m feeling nervous"
"That's really comforting, thank you!"
"I get bullied a lot"
"How do I deal with stress?"
"That’s good, I’ll try to do that today with my friends."
"Wowwww thats so cool!"
"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"
"I turned in the test today, wish me luck."
"My sister has depression, what can I do to help her?"
"I feel bad talking to my parents, because I know they will still love me if I let my grades drop and they'll always support me, but it does feel like to much pressure sometimes, especially since my older brother was so good when it came to grades and academic performance. And I'm not close enough with any of my teachers to share this kind of stuff with them...that's a good way to look at it, thank you.”"
"hey, so i have this friend who i don't want to be friends with anymore but i don't know what to do?"
"I like that, I think that’s a good point, thank you for your input"
"Thank you so much for listening, sometimes I just feel like nobody is listening or understands."
"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."
"that sounds perfect!! thank you for your advice 🥰 i think i'm gonna do that"
"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"
"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...?"
"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."
"Sounds awesome!"
"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."
"You've been so helpful"
"Thank you for being here for the students, it's great to have a person to talk to. Here's a little expression of my gratitude in video form (the audio is a little quiet so turn up the volume a little)"
"Do you think I have depression?"
"How do I feel better"
"i'm failing all my classes"
"I’m stressed, I’m taking the ACT in 6 days"
