Real conversations with your students.
"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"
"How do you get rid of a sore throat?"
"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"
"How do I deal with friends that keep fighting and get me in the middle of their drama?"
"I like that, I think that’s a good point, thank you for your input"
"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"
"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"
"How do I feel better"
"How do I deal with very opinionated friends?"
"i don't know i just missed two weeks of school due to COVID and my grades are suffering and i can't find the motivation to work. I lose my 4.0 this year already to one A- and now i kinda feel like a failure"
"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 don't feel an intimate connection to anyone in my life and being in the general vicinity of people gives me extreme anxiety."
"I don’t enjoy my life anymore.I mess everything up. I dont like it. My life is painful and since then I've had 2 suicide attempts. Been like this since mid 2019"

"That’s a great idea thank you, honestly, I really appreciate it.”"
"I was home from school for two weeks because I was depressed because my parents divorced this summer and I moved and haven't been feeling belonged at school"
"Thank you so much for the help and advice!"
"That's a very structured way of looking at it, I think that would be a great start"
"this is actually helping me a lot😂 so thank you !"
"I get bullied a lot"
"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"
"Kind of because I don't know where J belong"
"I’m feeling nervous"
"That's a good idea thanks"
"I’m stressed, I’m taking the ACT in 6 days"
"My boyfriend broke up with me"
"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?"
"Should I get help if I feel anxious most of the time?"
