Conversations

Real conversations with your students.

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

"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."

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

"How do I deal with very opinionated friends?"

"“Thank you so much for your support!”"

"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"

"How do I increase self-confidence while performing or just stage fright in general?"

"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 love music, thank you! Thank you so much for ur help"

"I feel constantly disappointed about myself because I know I can do better, but I don't seem to be able to."

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

"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 don’t really have motivation to do anything lately."

"My boyfriend broke up with 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"

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

"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"

"I have a lot of family problems. My parents are getting a divorce."

"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"

"I want girls to like me"

"The end of the quarter is kinda sucky rn"

"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"

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

"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"

"Thank you so much for listening, sometimes I just feel like nobody is listening or understands."

"Sounds awesome!"

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

"How do I get rid of a friend that is mean and is taking all of my friends"

"Yes you too!! Thanks for helping me feel better"

"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 😅"

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