Real conversations with your students.
"Sometimes people don't tell me things because they don't want to hurt my feelings,but the fact they don't tell me hurts my feelings. What should I tell them?"
"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 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"
"That's really comforting, thank you!"
"The end of the quarter is kinda sucky rn"
"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"
"I think you're a genius, you just helped me sooooo much, thank you."
"Thank you so much for the help and advice!"
"How do I deal with friends that keep fighting and get me in the middle of their drama?"
"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"
"I just got rejected by a girl 😂"
"All my friends watch tiktoks instead of doing hw and brag about it, it's like, high school culture to just procrastinate and brag about having bad grades and no sleep and everything and it doesn't click to me. But yeah I love my friends but I wish I could meet some that are more like me."
"Why do I feel like isolating all the time? I tend to hate people a lot, they just annoy me, though I strive for connection I hate connecting then I hate myself for not being able to just be normal, it's kinda twisted🤷🏻♂️"
"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"
"I Don't know yesterday and today I just Felt sad when I woke up."
"I was home from school for two weeks because I was depressed because my parents divorced this summer and I moved and haven't been feeling belonged at school"
"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"
"Kind of because I don't know where J belong"
"I turned in the test today, wish me luck."
"Thanks for the wonderful advice"
"I also want your opinion on something real quick: Which one should I get. Two lockets. One is a heart and the other’s an oval. They’re both the same amount. Which one should I get? The heart is the most popular, but oval is more sentimental to some?"
"There's a lot on my to do list and I feel it piling up"
"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."
"i'm failing all my classes"
"How do I deal with stress?"
"I’m stressed, I’m taking the ACT in 6 days"
"I have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"
"Thank you so much. This program really is amazing!"
"Yeah, my aunt took a stroke, the doctors didn’t know why and it wasn’t looking very good. She had a severe brain bleed and their hope was that her brain would swell and stop the bleeding. But 12 hours later her brain was still bleeding. She had a 3% chance of pulling through but by 8 last night she was brain dead so they took her off life support and around 4 this morning she passed"
"that sounds perfect!! thank you for your advice 🥰 i think i'm gonna do that"
