Real conversations with your students.
"My boyfriend broke up with me"
"I turned in the test today, wish me luck."
"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"
"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."
"I’m stressed, I’m taking the ACT in 6 days"
"Sounds good! I really appreciate you talking to me. It means a ton to me and I had a good time. Thank you. Have a good night."
"My friends mom passed away and I don't really know what to say to him. I don't want to sound insensitive but I don't what to sound pitiful, so any advice?"
"How do I get rid of a friend that is mean and is taking all of my friends"
"Should I get help if I feel anxious most of the time?"
"How do I make a paper airplane?"
"thank you so much! i will reach out if i need to 🥰"
"thanks, that's really nice to hear honestly. I hope you have a great day"
"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"
"Well thank you amazing human too! It's so awesome that you take time to talk to strangers and brighten their day through this program. Keep it up! Have a great day"
"this is actually helping me a lot😂 so thank you !"
"idk. i just get sad randomly sometimes like my depression will just come and hit me out of nowhere when i'm feeling fine. and my doctor thought i might be bipolar but the psychologist said i wasn't so yeh. idk i'm just kinda weird lol"
"I just dont rlly have anyone i can talk or relate to. Idk just feeling lonely and a little overwhelmed."
"I love music, thank you! Thank you so much for ur help"
"i'm failing all my classes"
"I’m having major body image issues, and I can't focus on school because all I think about is how ugly I am"
"I'm dealing with the suicide of a family member- how do I cope?"
"I get bullied a lot"
"Kind of because I don't know where J belong"
"I like that, I think that’s a good point, thank you for your input"
"There's a lot on my to do list and I feel it piling up"
"hey thanks im sorry im just being bullied at school and i told the counselor and he's been helping me but it's only getting worse"
"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"
"That's a very structured way of looking at it, I think that would be a great start"
"You've been so helpful"
"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🤷🏻♂️"
