Dear Peter,
Without knowing more about you, it is hard for me to give you some good advice.
But first, I am sure that you are1. You said that nobody would care if you left home. What about your2? And other family members? It seems that you are very3. You'd better go to a doctor or talk4your parents. They will be able to help you.
Second, I'm sure there's someone else in your class who feels lonely, 5. You never know6other people feel. Try to make friends with your classmates. And you could7a club to meet new people and make friends, too.
You8find happiness in yourself. So my9advice is to write a list of all the good things about yourself, learn to like yourself, and then10will see your confidence and like you, too. Editor
Dear Anna Peterson,
I'm having some troubles now. I ever did well in my study before. But now I find it difficult to concentrate on it. Even when I'm in school, in the quiet classroom and when the teacher is speaking in class, I can't concentrate. I don't think about anything. My mind goes nothing. And sometimes I think about something. It could be anything, a movie...And then I act like one of the characters, and I do this everywhere. I don't even realize what I'm doing till something gets my attention and pulls me back to my real life.
I can't always write down the important things my teacher says, because I write too slowly. I'm not good at writing and I usually hand in my homework late because I put off doing it until the last minute. So I often have to find different excuses to tell my teacher why I didn't do my homework. I'm sure I'm going to fail my final exam in late January. I'm now so far behind other students that I don't know how to catch up with them. But there is only one month left, you know. I am worried all day, and I know this won't be of any help to me. I get distracted really easily.
My life has changed a lot. Can you help me?
Yours,
Mel Barnes
I want to thank my father, the greatest father in the world. He taught me many things about life.
Good children do not go to the head teacher's office When I was in Grade Nine, I was sent to the head teacher's office. We were in a math class and I knew everything already, so I felt boring in that class. And I decided to put a pen into my nostril (鼻孔) for fun. That made my classmates laugh in class. However, the teacher did not laugh.
The teacher shouted, "Stop doing like that!" and then went to write something on the blackboar. I then put the pens into one nostril and one ear. Once again, the students laughed. Then my teacher took me to the head teacher's office. The only problem was that my father was the head teacher.
He had a short talk with me before sending me back to class. From those words I knew he was sad with me. That was not what I wanted.
Ruling by love
My father is well loved by everyone who knows him in my hometown. So he was made leader in myhometown, but he leads not out of power, but out of kindness and love.
