Real conversations with your students.
"I have funeral I'm going to, ACT stuff is being shoved in my head, I have 4 college classes to keep up on, skills USA is coming up and I've been nominated to participate, and I have two jobs"
"Thanks for the wonderful advice"
"Ok I'm scared for my speech in leadership"
"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"
"thank you so much! i will reach out if i need to 🥰"
"Yea I'm so relieved now, thank you!"
"What can I do to improve my mood?"
"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"
"You've been so helpful"
"Man are u a real person? Also I am burnt out. But answer both questions plez"
"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"
"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."
"Ok thanks for your help 😀"
"I Don't know yesterday and today I just Felt sad when I woke up."
"That's really comforting, thank you!"
"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 have been feeling just really down"
"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"
"How do I feel better"
"Yes you too!! Thanks for helping me feel better"
"How do I make and keep friends?"
"this is actually helping me a lot😂 so thank you !"
"it's all good!! just been thinking ab school & life in general. it's all stressful"
"Do you think I have depression?"
"I’m stressed, I’m taking the ACT in 6 days"
"How do I deal with stress?"
"I'm dealing with the suicide of a family member- how do I cope?"
"thanks, that's really nice to hear honestly. I hope you have a great day"
"That's a good thought, everyone has something to contribute, sometimes it's just hard to see my part when others seem to have so much more to contribute than I do, I appreciate your help, this program is a really great idea"
"I have a lot of family problems. My parents are getting a divorce."
