Real conversations with your students.
"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"
"you're so right !! i'm kind of doubting the relationship because it has a lot to do w/ me trusting him!"
"How do I feel better"
"How do I deal with stress?"
"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 I make a paper airplane?"
"That’s good, I’ll try to do that today with my friends."
"How do I increase self-confidence while performing or just stage fright in general?"
"I feel bad talking to my parents, because I know they will still love me if I let my grades drop and they'll always support me, but it does feel like to much pressure sometimes, especially since my older brother was so good when it came to grades and academic performance. And I'm not close enough with any of my teachers to share this kind of stuff with them...that's a good way to look at it, thank you.”"
"These tips will probably help a lot for now - I'd love to stay in touch, and I'll reach out if I'm struggling again (probably sooner rather than later 😅) thank you so so much"
"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 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."
"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!"
"i have another question. how do you feel good about yourself and things you are good at without seeming self centered?"
"How do I deal with friends that keep fighting and get me in the middle of their drama?"
"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"
"That’s a great idea thank you, honestly, I really appreciate it.”"
"I’m doing better now, thank you!"
"it's all good!! just been thinking ab school & life in general. it's all stressful"
"i want to stay friends with the girl i just talked to. we work at the same place and she's the only one who's ever been very kind to me. i just feel like my friends are very manipulative of me so i feel like i should just tell them that i'm wanting to take a break and focus on my mental health and happiness"
"I think you're a genius, you just helped me sooooo much, thank you."
"im sad i aint at school i wanna kill my self"
"I'm dealing with the suicide of a family member- how do I cope?"
"Yes you too!! Thanks for helping me feel better"
"There's a lot on my to do list and I feel it piling up"
"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?"
"this is actually helping me a lot😂 so thank you !"
"Should I get help if I feel anxious most of the time?"
"How do I make and keep friends?"
"How do I deal with very opinionated friends?"
