Real conversations with your students.
"Yea I'm so relieved now, thank you!"
"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"
"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"
"My sister has depression, what can I do to help her?"
"Wowwww thats so cool!"
"I have a lot of family problems. My parents are getting a divorce."
"I enjoy all of this information"
"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"
"Quite a bit, a lot has changed for my recently, I told my parents about wanting to disassociate myself from their religion, and that's been just difficult because I'm trying to figure out what to believe, I recently gave up pornography as well, and it's been such a struggle without it, I've had an addiction to it for a few years now, so everyday life just seems much harder than usual, and as the end of the quarter nears my schoolwork is just ridiculous, so it's been quite hard to feel happy these past couple weeks"
"How do I make a paper airplane?"
"im sad i aint at school i wanna kill my self"
"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."
"Why are boys so mean 😭😭Are all boys mean 😢"
"I don't feel an intimate connection to anyone in my life and being in the general vicinity of people gives me extreme anxiety."
"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)"
"Well for one I'm just sad a lot of the time, I guess we could call that depression at this point, and I often act happy and good natured, and I'm trying to transition away from the religion of the masses here in St George, but I don't expect any of them to be able to understand, so I keep it to myself. Whenever I talk to them I feel like I'm constantly filtering what I really want to say because they wouldn't be ok with it"
"I have been feeling just really down"
"You too, have a great rest of the day😁"
"this is actually helping me a lot😂 so thank you !"
"You've been so helpful"
"i'm failing all my classes"
"it's all good!! just been thinking ab school & life in general. it's all stressful"
"I turned in the test today, wish me luck."
"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."
"You're welcome! 😉 But thanks to you too 😁"
"I have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"
"I want girls to like me"
"Okay, thank you🤎"
"hey, so i have this friend who i don't want to be friends with anymore but i don't know what to do?"
"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."
