Real conversations with your students.

"I'm dealing with the suicide of a family member- how do I cope?"

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

"Wowwww thats so cool!"

"“Thank you so much for your support!”"

"I can't help in my classroom, we are online"

"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"

"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"

"Man are u a real person? Also I am burnt out. But answer both questions plez"

"That's a good idea thanks"

"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"

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

"Why do I feel like isolating all the time? I tend to hate people a lot, they just annoy me, though I strive for connection I hate connecting then I hate myself for not being able to just be normal, it's kinda twisted🤷🏻‍♂️"

"it's all good!! just been thinking ab school & life in general. it's all stressful"

"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"

"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."

"What can I do to improve my mood?"

"I get bullied a lot"

"I’m stressed, I’m taking the ACT in 6 days"

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

"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"

"How do I deal with very opinionated friends?"

"I don't feel an intimate connection to anyone in my life and being in the general vicinity of people gives me extreme anxiety."

"I enjoy all of this information"

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

"Thank you so much for listening, sometimes I just feel like nobody is listening or understands."

"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."

"I’m doing better now, thank you!"

"That's really comforting, thank you!"

"Idk 😂 I am the oldest in my family and I am struggling with the idea of leaving for college. I kinda just try to not think about it but then I end up not doing the things that I need to do like apply for scholarships. When I do think about it I cry though😅 I love my family and I don't want to loose what we have but I also want to continue to grow and got to college ya know?"

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