"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"

"Idk 😂 I am the oldest in my family and I am struggling with the idea of leaving for college. I kinda just try to not think about it but then I end up not doing the things that I need to do like apply for scholarships. When I do think about it I cry though😅 I love my family and I don't want to loose what we have but I also want to continue to grow and got to college ya know?"

"You're welcome! 😉 But thanks to you too 😁"

"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"

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

"That's a good idea thanks"

"My friends say I talk too much, any tips on how to talk less?"

"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."

"Do you think I have depression?"

"Thank you for being here for the students, it's great to have a person to talk to. Here's a little expression of my gratitude in video form (the audio is a little quiet so turn up the volume a little)"

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

"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!"

"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:("

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

"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"

"How do I deal with stress?"

"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"

"it's all good!! just been thinking ab school & life in general. it's all stressful"

"Well thank you amazing human too! It's so awesome that you take time to talk to strangers and brighten their day through this program. Keep it up! Have a great day"

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

"Thank you, I love getting messages that make me stop what I'm doing and think about things that leave me in a more positive attitude than before!"

"Yea I'm so relieved now, thank you!"

"Will do😀👍"

"I lost my whole friend group of 4 years. I think that they were just so toxic. i wasn't invited to anything unless i texted them. i would leave with extreme anxiety and no one would ask me if i was ok. and they've all just changed since i met them. we don't have the same values or morals anymore"

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

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

"yeah he's this guy i met thru my friends family. & we almost dated but then he ghosted me & i think he's still on & off w his ex. he plays w my feelings bc i saw him yesterday for the first time in over a month & he acted like we were still talking & everything & it was weird. so i'm not sure if o should move on or keep hoping he'll choose me"

"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’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."

"Kind of because I don't know where J belong"
