Real conversations with your students.
"I listened to your most recent podcast about confidence, and I thought it was epic.๐ค I had a question that's related to it about something I've been dealing with recently. I already typed it up to explain the situation, and it is very long haha. Is that alright...?"

"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 donโt really have motivation to do anything lately."
"No worries, monster texts are usually the best ๐ 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"
"I get bullied a lot"
"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 can't help in my classroom, we are online"
"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"
"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???"
"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"

"Your advice really helped! Now I feel that my friends want to be around me more. ๐"

"I love music, thank you! Thank you so much for ur help"
"How do I deal with stress?"
"Idk ๐ 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 though๐ 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?"
"How do you get your teachers to like you?"

"Thanks for the wonderful advice"
"How do I make and keep friends?"
"I want girls to like me"
"this is actually helping me a lot๐ so thank you !"
"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'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 ๐ "
"Yes you too!! Thanks for helping me feel better"
"I'm dealing with the suicide of a family member- how do I cope?"

"Iโm stressed, Iโm taking the ACT in 6 days"
