Real conversations with your students.
"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."
"How do I feel better"
"I totally agree thanks!"
"well, the overbearing feeling that everyone around is making you feel like you aren't good enough, like you're not deserving of the same kind of love if you're different"
"That’s a great idea thank you, honestly, I really appreciate it.”"
"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."
"I just dont rlly have anyone i can talk or relate to. Idk just feeling lonely and a little overwhelmed."
"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"
"How do I deal with very opinionated friends?"
"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"
"How do I deal with stress?"
"What do you do if nobody likes you"
"How do you get rid of a sore throat?"
"Yes you too!! Thanks for helping me feel better"
"You too, have a great rest of the day😁"
"I’m feeling nervous"
"hey, so i have this friend who i don't want to be friends with anymore but i don't know what to do?"
"How do I make and keep friends?"
"I feel constantly disappointed about myself because I know I can do better, but I don't seem to be able to."
"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"
"Your advice really helped! Now I feel that my friends want to be around me more. 🙂"
"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?"
"What can I do to improve my mood?"
"There's a lot on my to do list and I feel it piling up"
"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 enjoy all of this information"
"I appreciate it 😊most definitely👍"
"I turned in the test today, wish me luck."
"My sister has depression, what can I do to help her?"
"You're welcome! 😉 But thanks to you too 😁"
