Real conversations with your students.
"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?"
"Should I get help if I feel anxious most of the time?"
"Sounds awesome!"
"I'll try to gain the courage to talk to someone irl, if not I'll come back to talk to you- it's easy to release over text honestly 😅"
"thanks, that's really nice to hear honestly. I hope you have a great day"
"I get bullied a lot"
"How do I deal with very opinionated friends?"
"yeah totally! thanks for your help (:"
"There's a lot on my to do list and I feel it piling up"
"I am very sad and don't feel like attending class."
"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."
"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"
"Man are u a real person? Also I am burnt out. But answer both questions plez"
"i have another question. how do you feel good about yourself and things you are good at without seeming self centered?"

"How do I make and keep 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 miss my dad, he seems to be the only one who calm me down lately. And i'm stuck in my room breaking down while trying finishing assignments before the quarter ends so i don't have a bad grade, and i just need him to be here."
"i'm failing all my classes"
"The end of the quarter is kinda sucky rn"
"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"
"Thank you so much for listening. Glad I could make your day. I dont feel comfortable talking about this with people. I am just more private of a person I suppose."
"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"
"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."
"That's a good idea thanks"
