Real conversations with your students.
"I get bullied a lot"
"I think you're a genius, you just helped me sooooo much, thank you."
"yes i really think being friends with her will be the best option. and thank you very much! Thank you for helping me think of new things to do to help myself!"
"“I'm grateful for you, and my family. Thanks for being here for me!! You're awesome ”"
"Wowwww thats so cool!"
"How do you get rid of a sore throat?"
"My boyfriend broke up with me"
"Bro a lot. Too much for a text i can barely speak what i need to say"
"My best friend texted me saying she is fed up with me hurting her feelings and being mean, I don't know what I've done and apologized if I've ever done anything not on purpose. She said apparently I did something on purpose and I should know what it is. Now she won't talk to me and I'm still confused. Any advice???"
"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"
"thank you! i'm kinda stuck right now & i don't know what to do about this boy! i really like him & we've dated in the past but needed to break up to work on ourselves. we just recently decided to try again because obviously we still like & care for each other! but last night, i found out while we were broken up he did some bad things that he shouldn't have! he regrets it & says he was forced into it. at the end of the day you are responsible for the decision you make & no one can 'force' you🤷🏽♀️ i've been thinking about this all day & it makes me sick:( i know it shouldn't affect me this bad because we were broken up but i don't know if i can move past this! he's told me he is sorry SOO many times but it just hurts me:("
"Thank you so much. This program really is amazing!"
"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."
"How do I feel better"
"yeah totally! thanks for your help (:"
"I can't help in my classroom, we are online"
"I lost my whole friend group of 4 years. I think that they were just so toxic. i wasn't invited to anything unless i texted them. i would leave with extreme anxiety and no one would ask me if i was ok. and they've all just changed since i met them. we don't have the same values or morals anymore"
"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."
"it's all good!! just been thinking ab school & life in general. it's all stressful"
"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🤷🏻♂️"
"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."
"How do I make and keep friends?"
"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 turned in the test today, wish me luck."
"Man are u a real person? Also I am burnt out. But answer both questions plez"
"How do I deal with friends that keep fighting and get me in the middle of their drama?"
"I want girls to like me"
"I have been feeling just really down"
"I have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"
