Real conversations with your students.
"I actually just got my grade up from a C to an A-"
"You're welcome! 😉 But thanks to you too 😁"
"Most definitely, I'm happy to hear whatever you've got to say"
"The bullying has been happening for a few weeks and I honestly don't know why. Me and another girl got a note directed towards me called me a f---ing retard and behind my back this kid called me an ugly a--hole. i try not to let it bother me though it's not super important cos (this sounds weird and far fetched ik) likeeeeeee why would he call me ugly unless he thought i have a higher opinion of myself then that, so he prolly knows i couldn't care less about his words like they hurt but i know he's verbally abused at home and i don't put up with it and he can't handle not having the right reactions from me."
"I just dont rlly have anyone i can talk or relate to. Idk just feeling lonely and a little overwhelmed."
"yeah he's this guy i met thru my friends family. & we almost dated but then he ghosted me & i think he's still on & off w his ex. he plays w my feelings bc i saw him yesterday for the first time in over a month & he acted like we were still talking & everything & it was weird. so i'm not sure if o should move on or keep hoping he'll choose me"
"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"
"That's really comforting, thank you!"
"I get bullied a lot"
"How do I get rid of a friend that is mean and is taking all of my friends"
"“I'm grateful for you, and my family. Thanks for being here for me!! You're awesome ”"
"I have a question, I have a friend who hasn't been making the best choices and so I've been trying to stop being friends with her how do I do that without hurting her feelings?"
"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"
"i have another question. how do you feel good about yourself and things you are good at without seeming self centered?"
"There's a lot on my to do list and I feel it piling up"
"Kind of because I don't know where J belong"
"I feel constantly disappointed about myself because I know I can do better, but I don't seem to be able to."
"You too, have a great rest of the day😁"
"I am very sad and don't feel like attending class."
"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"
"How do I deal with friends that keep fighting and get me in the middle of their drama?"
"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 you get your teachers to like you?"
"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."
"Wowwww thats so cool!"
"I just got rejected by a girl 😂"
"I want girls to like me"
"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 😅"
"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"
