Real conversations with your students.
"The bullying has been happening for a few weeks and I honestly don't know why. Me and another girl got a note directed towards me called me a f---ing retard and behind my back this kid called me an ugly a--hole. i try not to let it bother me though it's not super important cos (this sounds weird and far fetched ik) likeeeeeee why would he call me ugly unless he thought i have a higher opinion of myself then that, so he prolly knows i couldn't care less about his words like they hurt but i know he's verbally abused at home and i don't put up with it and he can't handle not having the right reactions from me."
"How do you get rid of a sore throat?"
"How do I get rid of a friend that is mean and is taking all of my friends"
"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???"
"I totally agree thanks!"
"I just got rejected by a girl 😂"
"it's all good!! just been thinking ab school & life in general. it's all stressful"
"I love music, thank you! Thank you so much for ur help"
"I want girls to like me"
"How do I feel better"
"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"
"You're welcome! 😉 But thanks to you too 😁"
"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 listening. Glad I could make your day. I dont feel comfortable talking about this with people. I am just more private of a person I suppose."
"“I have tried to talk a little bit to my parents but I didnt like seeing them upset, plus they are already worried about me to much as it is, I dont want to add more weight on them anymore. And I dont trust the counselors anymore”"
"That's a good idea thanks"
"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?"
"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!"
"That is true. I'm just happy that I'm able to help him"
"thank you so much! i will reach out if i need to 🥰"
"I feel constantly disappointed about myself because I know I can do better, but I don't seem to be able to."
"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"
"That’s good, I’ll try to do that today with my friends."
"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"
"Okay, thank you🤎"
"How do I make and keep friends?"
"I listened to your most recent podcast about confidence, and I thought it was epic.🤙 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...?"
"my older sister and i got into an argument and she moved out so i had to step up as older sister and then my dad kicked my mom out so i feel like i have a lot of pressure on me"
"I can't help in my classroom, we are online"
