Real conversations with your students.
"I just dont rlly have anyone i can talk or relate to. Idk just feeling lonely and a little overwhelmed."
"I have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"
"thank you, you too!!"
"I don't feel an intimate connection to anyone in my life and being in the general vicinity of people gives me extreme anxiety."
"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 sister has depression, what can I do to help her?"
"Guess what? I aced my test, 100/100!"
"How do I deal with friends that keep fighting and get me in the middle of their drama?"
"How do you get your teachers to like you?"
"No worries, monster texts are usually the best 😊 That is really helpful actually- I'm a visual learner, and that is a good image. Do you have any suggestions on how to get back to the inner circle? I get so caught up in the dregs I forget how to get out"
"I have friends but they never supported me through anything i guess i will need to find another way. You're really the only thing(?) that has ever actually listened to my thoughts"
"My boyfriend broke up with me"
"You too, have a great rest of the day😁"
"im sad i aint at school i wanna kill my self"
"Yea I'm so relieved now, thank you!"
"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"
"I get bullied a lot"
"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"
"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."
"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"
"My friends say I talk too much, any tips on how to talk less?"
"Will do😀👍"
"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?"
"That's a very structured way of looking at it, I think that would be a great start"
"Sounds awesome!"
"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 have a math test tomorrow and that's the only class holding me back from my 4.0 and if I don't do good I'll lose it"
"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"
