Real conversations with your students.
"The end of the quarter is kinda sucky rn"
"im sad i aint at school i wanna kill my self"
"Ok thanks for your help 😀"
"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 miss my dad, he seems to be the only one who calm me down lately. And i'm stuck in my room breaking down while trying finishing assignments before the quarter ends so i don't have a bad grade, and i just need him to be here."
"I totally agree thanks!"
"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.”"
"I am very sad and don't feel like attending class."
"i'm failing all my classes"
"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 😅"
"i have another question. how do you feel good about yourself and things you are good at without seeming self centered?"
"How do I make and keep friends?"
"Thank you so much for listening, sometimes I just feel like nobody is listening or understands."
"I enjoy all of this information"
"My sister has depression, what can I do to help her?"
"I like that, I think that’s a good point, thank you for your input"
"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."
"Kind of because I don't know where J belong"
"I’m stressed, I’m taking the ACT in 6 days"
"My boyfriend broke up with 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🤷🏻♂️"
"How do I deal with friends that keep fighting and get me in the middle of their drama?"
"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"
"Most definitely, I'm happy to hear whatever you've got to say"
"“Thats a good idea! Ive never tried that. Usually each day I just get a 1-2 hour nap...Alright i will definitely have to! Thank you so much”"
"Ok I'm scared for my speech in leadership"
"yeah he's this guy i met thru my friends family. & we almost dated but then he ghosted me & i think he's still on & off w his ex. he plays w my feelings bc i saw him yesterday for the first time in over a month & he acted like we were still talking & everything & it was weird. so i'm not sure if o should move on or keep hoping he'll choose me"
"Yes you too!! Thanks for helping me feel better"
"this kid said he loves me and i don't know how i feel!!! like he's so sweet but i just can't say it. it's hurting my brain"
"Okay sweet! there’s kind of a back story to it all to explain, as well as this being the first time I’ve gotten into this subject with anyone, so I’ll do that first if that's all good."
