Feeling left out?

    A reader wrote in to say that she was feeling lonely at break because her best friend

wasn’t around．Here’s our advice to her—and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes．

    It’s hard when a best friend isn’t around—maybe because she moved to a different

school or a different class．You may feel lonely at break or lunchtime．You want to have new

friends．but how do you make them? Maybe it seems like everybody else already has their

friends．But remember, there’s always room for more friends．  

    Start by looking around your classroom—think about which kids you’d like to play

with at break．Look for chances to say hi to them，smile，and be friendly．Offer to share

something or express your appreciation(欣赏)to them．Invite someone to play with you or

 say “Do you want to sit here?” in the lunchroom．When you’re at break，walk over to kids

you want to play with．act friendly，and say “Hi，can l play, too?” or just join in．

    If you have trouble doing this or if you’re feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make

 new friends．Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends．The best way to make

friends is to be a friend．Be kind，be friendly，share，say nice things，offer to help—and pretty soon，you’ll have one，or two，or even more new friends.

    You might still miss that special best friend．But when you see each other, you can share

 something you didn’t have before she left：You can introduce her to your new friends!

It’s not easy to be an astronaut’s son．Everybody expects you to be special or perfect．I

often wonder how my father ever had a son like me．I mean he’s so special and so good at

everything he does．Even in middle school he was class president and captain of the football

team．

    Well，to be honest，I often dream about being some kind of hero or doing something

special—like saving a child from a burning building or discovering a new star．I was daydreaming at school one morning when my teacher said there would be a Father’s Day writing competition for the whole sch001．“I hope we have a winner right here in my class．”

    When I got home，I started to think about what to write．My father is an astronaut．N0，I

wouldn’t start like that．That was the way others saw him．How did I see my father? Hmm．

    I saw him sitting with me in the dark when I had a terrible dream．I remembered how he

hugged me for hours when my dog Spotty was killed by a car．Yes，these were the things I

 was going to write．To me，he wasn’t just a world—famous astronaut．He was my dad．

    My parents and l went to school Thursday night．There were so many people in the big

hall! My dad looked at me，and I shrugged(耸肩)．

    The third prize was announced and it was not me．1 was relieved(释然)and disappointed at the same time．The second prize was announced．It was me．

    1 went up to the stage and read what I had written，“My father’s son”．When I finished，the people stood up and cheered．I saw my father blowing his nose．Tears were running down my mother's face．Dad cleared his throat and put his hand on my shoulder．“Son，this

is the proudest moment of my life．’’

    It was the proudest moment of my life，too．Maybe I’ll never be a great hero or win a

Nobel Prize，but it was enough just to be my father’s son．
