As a teenager, I felt I was always making people unhappy. It1 that I didn't care about what others said about me, but 2 I hope they would like me.
My friend Penelope was different from me. Most people liked her, including my family.
One day, I asked my mum if she liked Penelope better than me. My mum said that although Penelope was a3 girl, no one could replace (取代) me. I 4 ,' She is much smarter and more outgoing than me. '
My mum said those were wonderful points, but I was the only person who could play my 5 . Then I told my mum that I always made people unhappy. My mum asked me to find out6 I made others unhappy. She told me that if I made them unhappy because I did something wrong, I should 7 my mistakes and learn from them. If they were unhappy with me because of the differences between us, I should try to 8 them to find a way to solve them.
My mum's words helped me a lot. She made me believe that even with many faults (缺点)，I was a loved9 of the family. Then I began to be happy about who I really was and 10 in ways I liked. At the same time, I learned to care about others.
Now, I am happier and have made more friends.
