Real conversations with your students.
"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"
"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"
"I get bullied a lot"
"I'll try to gain the courage to talk to someone irl, if not I'll come back to talk to you- it's easy to release over text honestly 😅"
"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 actually just got my grade up from a C to an A-"
"I can't help in my classroom, we are online"
"Why do I feel the need to hide who I really am from my friends? I end up resenting them because they're talking to the person I pretend to be, and it feels fake because I'm fake around them"
"Sounds awesome!"
"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?"
"I've been feeling a bit stressed, I work full time. And also have been struggling to take out a motor I've bought from the junk yard."
"Man are u a real person? Also I am burnt out. But answer both questions plez"
"I have been feeling just really down"
"How do I increase self-confidence while performing or just stage fright in general?"
"That’s good, I’ll try to do that today with my friends."
"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 don't really have any hobbies. I just work a lot. I work at a mexican restaurant i've climbed before but i don't do it often. I don’t really have motivation to do anything lately."
"i have another question. how do you feel good about yourself and things you are good at without seeming self centered?"
"How do I get rid of a friend that is mean and is taking all of my friends"
"I love music, thank you! Thank you so much for ur help"
"Do you think I have depression?"
"thank you! i'm kinda stuck right now & i don't know what to do about this boy! i really like him & we've dated in the past but needed to break up to work on ourselves. we just recently decided to try again because obviously we still like & care for each other! but last night, i found out while we were broken up he did some bad things that he shouldn't have! he regrets it & says he was forced into it. at the end of the day you are responsible for the decision you make & no one can 'force' you🤷🏽♀️ i've been thinking about this all day & it makes me sick:( i know it shouldn't affect me this bad because we were broken up but i don't know if i can move past this! he's told me he is sorry SOO many times but it just hurts me:("
"My sister has depression, what can I do to help her?"
"I appreciate it 😊most definitely👍"
"I like that, I think that’s a good point, thank you for your input"
"My friends say I talk too much, any tips on how to talk less?"
"Your advice really helped! Now I feel that my friends want to be around me more. 🙂"
"I’m stressed, I’m taking the ACT in 6 days"
"this is actually helping me a lot😂 so thank you !"
"You've been so helpful"
