Real conversations with your students.
"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"
"Ya those are really awesome tips, thank u so much! Ima screenshot it so I don't forget - I appreciate your help, it's really nice to have someone to talk to 😅"
"That is true. I'm just happy that I'm able to help him"
"How do I deal with very opinionated friends?"
"The end of the quarter is kinda sucky rn"
"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🤷🏻♂️"
"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 😅"
"How do I make and keep friends?"
"0 - I’m super sad. What do you do if nobody likes you?"
"There's a lot on my to do list and I feel it piling up"
"Thank you for being here for the students, it's great to have a person to talk to. Here's a little expression of my gratitude in video form (the audio is a little quiet so turn up the volume a little)"
"That's a very structured way of looking at it, I think that would be a great start"
"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"
"I'm dealing with the suicide of a family member- how do I cope?"
"thanks, that's really nice to hear honestly. I hope you have a great day"
"I Don't know yesterday and today I just Felt sad when I woke up."
"I don’t enjoy my life anymore.I mess everything up. I dont like it. My life is painful and since then I've had 2 suicide attempts. Been like this since mid 2019"
"What do you do if nobody likes you"
"My sister has depression, what can I do to help her?"
"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?"
"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’m having major body image issues, and I can't focus on school because all I think about is how ugly I am"
"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"
"You too, have a great rest of the day😁"
"How do I get rid of a friend that is mean and is taking all of my friends"
"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 like that, I think that’s a good point, thank you for your input"
"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’m doing better now, thank you!"
"I have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"
