Real conversations with your students.
"I like that, I think that’s a good point, thank you for your input"
"How do I make a paper airplane?"
"I just got rejected by a girl 😂"
"I have a math test tomorrow and that's the only class holding me back from my 4.0 and if I don't do good I'll lose it"
"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."
"idk. i just get sad randomly sometimes like my depression will just come and hit me out of nowhere when i'm feeling fine. and my doctor thought i might be bipolar but the psychologist said i wasn't so yeh. idk i'm just kinda weird lol"
"What can I do to improve my mood?"
"My friends mom passed away and I don't really know what to say to him. I don't want to sound insensitive but I don't what to sound pitiful, so any advice?"
"Wowwww thats so cool!"
"How do I feel better"
"i have another question. how do you feel good about yourself and things you are good at without seeming self centered?"
"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."
"this is actually helping me a lot😂 so thank you !"
"“I'm grateful for you, and my family. Thanks for being here for me!! You're awesome ”"
"Yeah, my aunt took a stroke, the doctors didn’t know why and it wasn’t looking very good. She had a severe brain bleed and their hope was that her brain would swell and stop the bleeding. But 12 hours later her brain was still bleeding. She had a 3% chance of pulling through but by 8 last night she was brain dead so they took her off life support and around 4 this morning she passed"
"yeah totally! thanks for your help (:"
"How do I deal with stress?"
"I’m doing better now, thank you!"
"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"
"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!"
"How do I make and keep friends?"
"How do I increase self-confidence while performing or just stage fright in general?"
"Ok thanks for your help 😀"
"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"
"that sounds perfect!! thank you for your advice 🥰 i think i'm gonna do that"
"Okay, thank you🤎"
"thank you so much! i will reach out if i need to 🥰"
"I am very sad and don't feel like attending class."
"I feel constantly disappointed about myself because I know I can do better, but I don't seem to be able to."
"0 - I’m super sad. What do you do if nobody likes you?"
