Real conversations with your students.
"I don't feel an intimate connection to anyone in my life and being in the general vicinity of people gives me extreme anxiety."
"There's a lot on my to do list and I feel it piling up"
"That’s a great idea thank you, honestly, I really appreciate it.”"
"How do I make and keep friends?"
"Why do I feel the need to hide who I really am from my friends? I end up resenting them because they're talking to the person I pretend to be, and it feels fake because I'm fake around them"
"How do I get rid of a friend that is mean and is taking all of my friends"
"I enjoy all of this information"
"I'm dealing with the suicide of a family member- how do I cope?"
"hey, so i have this friend who i don't want to be friends with anymore but i don't know what to do?"
"I get bullied a lot"
"I don't really have any hobbies. I just work a lot. I work at a mexican restaurant i've climbed before but i don't do it often. I don’t really have motivation to do anything lately."
"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 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.”"
"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"
"How do I feel better"
"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 😅"
"0 - I’m super sad. What do you do if nobody likes you?"
"That's a very structured way of looking at it, I think that would be a great start"
"I have been feeling just really down"
"this is actually helping me a lot😂 so thank you !"
"My friends say I talk too much, any tips on how to talk less?"
"Thanks for the wonderful advice"
"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"
"How do I deal with stress?"
"I love music, thank you! Thank you so much for ur 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"
"That’s good, I’ll try to do that today with my friends."
"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"
"I've been feeling a bit stressed, I work full time. And also have been struggling to take out a motor I've bought from the junk yard."
"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"
