Real conversations with your students.
"How do I deal with very opinionated friends?"
"Your advice really helped! Now I feel that my friends want to be around me more. 🙂"
"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 lost my whole friend group of 4 years. I think that they were just so toxic. i wasn't invited to anything unless i texted them. i would leave with extreme anxiety and no one would ask me if i was ok. and they've all just changed since i met them. we don't have the same values or morals anymore"
"You've been so helpful"
"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."
"“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 totally agree thanks!"
"That's a good thought, everyone has something to contribute, sometimes it's just hard to see my part when others seem to have so much more to contribute than I do, I appreciate your help, this program is a really great idea!"
"Sounds awesome!"
"How do you get rid of a sore throat?"
"That’s a great idea thank you, honestly, I really appreciate it.”"
"I have funeral I'm going to, ACT stuff is being shoved in my head, I have 4 college classes to keep up on, skills USA is coming up and I've been nominated to participate, and I have two jobs"
"Thank you so much. This program really is amazing!"
"I just dont rlly have anyone i can talk or relate to. Idk just feeling lonely and a little overwhelmed."
"you're so right !! i'm kind of doubting the relationship because it has a lot to do w/ me trusting him!"
"Will do😀👍"
"No worries, monster texts are usually the best 😊 That is really helpful actually- I'm a visual learner, and that is a good image. Do you have any suggestions on how to get back to the inner circle? I get so caught up in the dregs I forget how to get out"
"My sister has depression, what can I do to help her?"
"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"
"I love music, thank you! Thank you so much for ur help"
"Yea I'm so relieved now, thank you!"
"Thank you for being here for the students, it's great to have a person to talk to. Here's a little expression of my gratitude in video form (the audio is a little quiet so turn up the volume a little)"
"I'm dealing with the suicide of a family member- how do I cope?"
"i'm failing all my classes"
"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"
"it's all good!! just been thinking ab school & life in general. it's all stressful"
"Thank you so much for the help and advice!"
"thanks, that's really nice to hear honestly. I hope you have a great day"
"“I'm grateful for you, and my family. Thanks for being here for me!! You're awesome ”"
