Real conversations with your students.
"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 am very sad and don't feel like attending class."
"Guess what? I aced my test, 100/100!"
"That is true. I'm just happy that I'm able to help him"
"Will do😀👍"
"Sounds good! I really appreciate you talking to me. It means a ton to me and I had a good time. Thank you. Have a good night."
"Man are u a real person? Also I am burnt out. But answer both questions plez"
"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"
"Yea I'm so relieved now, thank you!"
"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"
"this is actually helping me a lot😂 so thank you !"
"hey, so i have this friend who i don't want to be friends with anymore but i don't know what to do?"
"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 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"
"Thank you so much for the help and advice!"
"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."
"Most definitely, I'm happy to hear whatever you've got to say"
"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"
"I like that, I think that’s a good point, thank you for your input"
"I enjoy all of this information"
"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"
"Wowwww thats so cool!"
"I get bullied a lot"
"I have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"
"You too, have a great rest of the day😁"
"I’m having major body image issues, and I can't focus on school because all I think about is how ugly I am"
"yes i really think being friends with her will be the best option. and thank you very much! Thank you for helping me think of new things to do to help myself!"
"“Thank you so much for your support!”"
"How do you get your teachers to like you?"
"That's a good idea thanks"
