Conversations

Real conversations with your students.

"I turned in the test today, wish me luck."

"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"

"How do I make a paper airplane?"

"Your advice really helped! Now I feel that my friends want to be around me more. 🙂"

"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"

"Ya those are really awesome tips, thank u so much! Ima screenshot it so I don't forget - I appreciate your help, it's really nice to have someone to talk to 😅"

"What can I do to improve my mood?"

"I totally agree thanks!"

"I have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"

"That’s a great idea thank you, honestly, I really appreciate it.”"

"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"

"You too, have a great rest of the day😁"

"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"

"How do you get your teachers to like you?"

"I’m stressed, I’m taking the ACT in 6 days"

"My sister has depression, what can I do to help her?"

"Sounds awesome!"

"My best friend texted me saying she is fed up with me hurting her feelings and being mean, I don't know what I've done and apologized if I've ever done anything not on purpose. She said apparently I did something on purpose and I should know what it is. Now she won't talk to me and I'm still confused. Any advice???"

"Thank you so much for the help and advice!"

"No worries, monster texts are usually the best 😊 That is really helpful actually- I'm a visual learner, and that is a good image. Do you have any suggestions on how to get back to the inner circle? I get so caught up in the dregs I forget how to get out"

"That is true. I'm just happy that I'm able to help him"

"Wowwww thats so cool!"

"I’m having major body image issues, and I can't focus on school because all I think about is how ugly I am"

"That’s good, I’ll try to do that today with my friends."

"I was home from school for two weeks because I was depressed because my parents divorced this summer and I moved and haven't been feeling belonged at school"

"this is actually helping me a lot😂 so thank you !"

"That's a very structured way of looking at it, I think that would be a great start"

"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"

"Most definitely, I'm happy to hear whatever you've got to say"

"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"
