### Dialogue background ### The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about sadness regarding a/an academic pressure. The seeker says "I have always been an honors student but with virtual school, I'm falling so far behind and I'm not sure when school will ever go back to normal.".
sys : (Question) Hello! I am here to listen! How are you feeling? sys : (Question) Hello! I am here to listen! How are you feeling? sys : (Others) *you usr : I'm very stressed. Virtual school is so hard. usr : I've never gotten bad grades before this year. sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) So you are having trouble with Virtual school being so hard and it's causing you stress, am I understanding correctly? usr : Yes, that is correct. I need to be in a classroom to really grasp the material, I think. sys : (Self-disclosure) I remember being in your position sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I know it's very hard and I am so sorry that you are stressed. usr : I just want to quit school because I can't seem to do better. sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I know you said you want to quit, but hang in there! usr : I wish I knew how long we would have to be virtual. I don't think I can last another semester teaching myself from home. sys : (Reflection of feelings) It sounds like you have always done well with school, this virus has made it to where so many people are struggling. Just chatting with you, I can feel how stressed and anxious about it you are! usr : Yes, I was always an honors student so this is a huge change for me. I'm afraid it will reflect on my GPA forever. sys : (Information) I know that the situation with virtual learning is out of your control when it comes to how long it will last but is there anything you could do to relieve your stress while you are trying to learn things yourself? usr : I tried exercise to see if that would help. It hasn't really helped because the time I spend exercising I just think I could be studying. sys : (Providing Suggestions) When you start feeling stressed maybe you could try deep breathing for a few minutes to relax again. Or take a quick break and get some fresh air? sys : (Others) Is there anything else that you do in any other situation that would normally help you relax? usr : I could try deep breathing. Fresh air is hard because we're in the middle of a snow storm! usr : I like to go to a spa when I'm really stressed. sys : (Providing Suggestions) Oh wow that would make things complicated! But yes the deep breathing would definitely help, I'm sure! usr : I will try the deep breathing more often. sys : (Providing Suggestions) Maybe you could reward yourself with a spa trip ever so often, since you enjoy it? usr : That's a good idea. Maybe I could make it a reward for a good grade on a test.
(Others) Yes, please do! I am almost certain that could help you!

(Question) I'm better than I deserve. Does teaching your son give you a lot of anxiety?

(Affirmation and Reassurance) Alot of parents are experiencing the same difficulty, even I am experiencing trouble with my child. It is a lot of alien stress to us when, in the past, we were only responsible for ensuring that homework is done.

(Providing Suggestions) It's kind of a tired saying, but one strategy that has helped me is the One day at a time strategy. I'm sure you've heard of it. Basically, it means just do for today, don't worry about yesterday, don't stress over tomorrow, just treat this day as it's own task.

(Providing Suggestions) Then, within that, one task at a time. Segment things he wants to do then reward him with them upon successful completion of school-tasks.

(Self-disclosure) For my example, my daughter very much likes to play video games. In order to earn video game time I need two successful assignments. They have to be small, reasonable tasks, but also an amount of time that allows you to take it one bite at a time.

### Dialogue background ### The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about anxiety regarding a/an academic pressure. The seeker says "Having to help my sons with their school work has put me into a negative mood because it's so hard to get them to work on stuff and I feel like they are becoming angrier with me. I feel like my relationship with my sons is getting worse and I also feel like they are getting a worse school experience having to work with me.".
usr : I'm having a hard time being my sons teacher and there is a lot of pressure with that. sys : (Question) Hello, how are you today? usr : I've been better. How are you? sys : (Question) I'm better than I deserve. Does teaching your son give you a lot of anxiety? usr : Yes, I feel like I'm responsible for getting them to do their schoolwork, maintain my mother sons relationship, and make sure that they do well in their schoolwork. usr : It's a lot that is on my plate on top of the other things that I'm responsible for. sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Alot of parents are experiencing the same difficulty, even I am experiencing trouble with my child. It is a lot of alien stress to us when, in the past, we were only responsible for ensuring that homework is done. usr : I agree with you there. It would be nice if they could be in school, but I understand that they shouldn't be. usr : I'd like more help and understanding from my husband, but he seems to be incapable of that. usr : Unless I badger him for it. sys : (Providing Suggestions) It's kind of a tired saying, but one strategy that has helped me is the One day at a time strategy. I'm sure you've heard of it. Basically, it means just do for today, don't worry about yesterday, don't stress over tomorrow, just treat this day as it's own task. usr : I've definitely heard that before, but you are completely right. I need to stop worrying about yesterday and tomorrow and focus on today, but I'm just not very good at that. sys : (Providing Suggestions) Then, within that, one task at a time.

(Providing Suggestions) And that adds to stress beyond the ad-hoc homeschooling. It is important to purposefully socialize by phone or chat with friends. We humans are social creatures, and you are not an island. We all need friends. My wife has been an amazing support, but I still make time to facetime with my buddies.

Would writing a letter be okay? sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) That is a scary conversation to have. I think the letter idea is a great idea! usr : I am better at expressing my feelings that way.
(Self-disclosure) I'm better writing things down too.

You have every right to feel angry. usr : Some friends to gossip....yeah, I am disgusted for sure, usr : We had been together over 2 years.... sys : (Self-disclosure) Unfortunately there are people out there who are not true friends and who just want something to talk about. I have experienced that myself. usr : Yeah, I bet many have. It is not a very Civil society. usr : Very uncivil method of breaking up.... sys : (Reflection of feelings) It really is not is it! I can tell how upset you feel just from talking to you, and also that the method of the break up is really sore point. usr : It just disgusts me how gauche my girl's method was. Maybe people should be more polite about how they communicate about something like breaking up. sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) It could be that you are better off without her?
