Real conversations with your students.
"you're so right !! i'm kind of doubting the relationship because it has a lot to do w/ me trusting him!"
"this kid said he loves me and i don't know how i feel!!! like he's so sweet but i just can't say it. it's hurting my brain"
"I actually just got my grade up from a C to an A-"
"I have been feeling just really down"
"I'm dealing with the suicide of a family member- how do I cope?"
"“Thats a good idea! Ive never tried that. Usually each day I just get a 1-2 hour nap...Alright i will definitely have to! Thank you so much”"
"I have a lot of family problems. My parents are getting a divorce."
"Yes you too!! Thanks for helping me feel better"
"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"
"hey, so i have this friend who i don't want to be friends with anymore but i don't know what to do?"
"There's a lot on my to do list and I feel it piling up"
"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"
"Thank you so much for listening, sometimes I just feel like nobody is listening or understands."
"“Thank you so much for your support!”"
"I’m doing better now, thank you!"
"that sounds perfect!! thank you for your advice 🥰 i think i'm gonna do that"
"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 😅"
"Quite a bit, a lot has changed for my recently, I told my parents about wanting to disassociate myself from their religion, and that's been just difficult because I'm trying to figure out what to believe, I recently gave up pornography as well, and it's been such a struggle without it, I've had an addiction to it for a few years now, so everyday life just seems much harder than usual, and as the end of the quarter nears my schoolwork is just ridiculous, so it's been quite hard to feel happy these past couple weeks"
"Do you think I have depression?"
"How do I feel better"
"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."
"I'm stressed with my grades still. Normally I have all A's but I have a C in math that I've been trying to get up but I don't get the unit I missed"
"My boyfriend broke up with me"
"You're welcome! 😉 But thanks to you too 😁"
"My sister has depression, what can I do to help her?"
"I’m feeling nervous"
"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.”"
"Lately I've started liking this guy in my friend group and he's really nice and everyone I know loves him but my best friend and it's been making me feel super guilty because she doesn't like being around him. I'm not really sure what to do about it though because I'm trying really hard to not pressure her and talk about him around her but I still feel like its causing a strain in our friendship"
"this is actually helping me a lot😂 so thank you !"
"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"
