Real conversations with your students.
"There's a lot on my to do list and I feel it piling up"
"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."
"My sister has depression, what can I do to help her?"
"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"
"How do you get your teachers to like you?"
"this is actually helping me a lot😂 so thank you !"
"this kid said he loves me and i don't know how i feel!!! like he's so sweet but i just can't say it. it's hurting my brain"
"i'm failing all my classes"
"I’m stressed, I’m taking the ACT in 6 days"
"Yeah, my aunt took a stroke, the doctors didn’t know why and it wasn’t looking very good. She had a severe brain bleed and their hope was that her brain would swell and stop the bleeding. But 12 hours later her brain was still bleeding. She had a 3% chance of pulling through but by 8 last night she was brain dead so they took her off life support and around 4 this morning she passed"
"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."
"How do you get rid of a sore throat?"
"0 - I’m super sad. What do you do if nobody likes you?"
"Yea I'm so relieved now, thank you!"
"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."
"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"
"I turned in the test today, wish me luck."
"I like that, I think that’s a good point, thank you for your input"
"How do I get rid of a friend that is mean and is taking all of my friends"
"Sometimes people don't tell me things because they don't want to hurt my feelings,but the fact they don't tell me hurts my feelings. What should I tell them?"
"I have a lot of family problems. My parents are getting a divorce."
"Do you think I have depression?"
"How do I feel better"
"thank you so much! i will reach out if i need to 🥰"
"im sad i aint at school i wanna kill my self"
"You too, have a great rest of the day😁"
"You've been so helpful"
"Most definitely, I'm happy to hear whatever you've got to say"
"How do I increase self-confidence while performing or just stage fright in general?"
"that sounds perfect!! thank you for your advice 🥰 i think i'm gonna do that"
