Real conversations with your students.
"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"
"I have a question, I have a friend who hasn't been making the best choices and so I've been trying to stop being friends with her how do I do that without hurting her feelings?"
"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"
"My sister has depression, what can I do to help her?"
"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"
"my older sister and i got into an argument and she moved out so i had to step up as older sister and then my dad kicked my mom out so i feel like i have a lot of pressure on me"
"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"
"it's all good!! just been thinking ab school & life in general. it's all stressful"
"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."
"thanks, that's really nice to hear honestly. I hope you have a great day"
"“Thats a good idea! Ive never tried that. Usually each day I just get a 1-2 hour nap...Alright i will definitely have to! Thank you so much”"
"That's really comforting, thank you!"
"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"
"Ok thanks for your help 😀"
"Soo, the other day I got into a really heated argument with my best friend's mom, because they kinda make my friend feel down. I went to confront her, but it turned into an argument. I said some things I'm not too proud of, and wrote her an apology note, but um. I still feel sick from what I said."
"Okay, thank you🤎"
"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"
"How do I get rid of a friend that is mean and is taking all of my friends"
"I appreciate it 😊most definitely👍"
"I don't feel an intimate connection to anyone in my life and being in the general vicinity of people gives me extreme anxiety."
"I just got rejected by a girl 😂"
"Thank you so much for listening, sometimes I just feel like nobody is listening or understands."
"Your advice really helped! Now I feel that my friends want to be around me more. 🙂"
"im sad i aint at school i wanna kill my self"
"Wowwww thats so cool!"
"Okay so uh I've been thinking a lot about suicide recently, about how there isn't really any point to doing anything because you're just surviving to be ruled by someone else - I made a suicide poem and like know how I would do it and where and what I would dress in but I know I won't do it if that makes any sense? Idk what to feel"
"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"
"There's a lot on my to do list and I feel it piling up"
"My friends say I talk too much, any tips on how to talk less?"
"That’s good, I’ll try to do that today with my friends."
