Conversations

Real conversations with your students.

"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?"

"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."

"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"

"“I'm grateful for you, and my family. Thanks for being here for me!! You're awesome ”"

"I turned in the test today, wish me luck."

"There's a lot on my to do list and I feel it piling up"

"I get bullied a lot"

"You too, have a great rest of the day😁"

"Soo, the other day I got into a really heated argument with my best friend's mom, because they kinda make my friend feel down. I went to confront her, but it turned into an argument. I said some things I'm not too proud of, and wrote her an apology note, but um. I still feel sick from what I said."

"thank you, you too!!"

"Okay sweet! there’s kind of a back story to it all to explain, as well as this being the first time I’ve gotten into this subject with anyone, so I’ll do that first if that's all good."

"hey, so i have this friend who i don't want to be friends with anymore but i don't know what to do?"

"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"

"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"

"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."

"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."

"Yea I'm so relieved now, thank you!"

"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"

"you're so right !! i'm kind of doubting the relationship because it has a lot to do w/ me trusting him!"

"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"

"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"

"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."

"Do you think I have depression?"

"Idk, family life has gotten a little better for him, but his sisters make him feel worthless, and when his parents get after him, they yell at him so much, he feels like cutting. I always manage to make his feel better, but, I really just don't like his mom the most. She manipulates him to fo what she wants, and it just breaks him"

"How do I increase self-confidence while performing or just stage fright in general?"

"yes i really think being friends with her will be the best option. and thank you very much! Thank you for helping me think of new things to do to help myself!"

"How do I deal with friends that keep fighting and get me in the middle of their drama?"

"that sounds perfect!! thank you for your advice 🥰 i think i'm gonna do that"

"I have been feeling just really down"

"thank you so much! i will reach out if i need to 🥰"
