Question

Mei Qiyue, 13, of Chongqing, leaves her dorm(寝室) early every morning and doesn’t return until late at night. She feels stressed in the dorm. “My roommates look down on me. When I say something, they never agree with me. Sometimes, they even laugh at me together,” said Mei. “The dorm is like hell. I want to leave the moment I walk in.”

Mei is not alone. Many middle school students lave such problems. Plans, opinions and other small differences can create conflict(冲突). “Most teenagers are the only child in the family where they are the ‘King’ or ‘Queen’. They can’t stand other kids’ different ideas, so conflicts between them come out in the dorm,” said Sun Yunxiao, a professor in Beijing.

According to Sun, roommate relations are important in schools, and students should be serious about them. He suggests that students should be patient, sincere(真诚) and cooperative in dealing with their roommates.

Zou Ming, 14, of Shanxi, and his roommates didn’t clean their dorm for a long time during their first semester. “Later, we began to hate each other because nobody would clean,” said Zou. “One day, we had a dorm meeting. At the meeting we discussed the problem seriously and decided each other of us would clean for a week.” After the meeting, they cleaned the dorm for the first time together, and the boys have become good friends.

“I think we should take care of the dorm like our family and our roommates like our brothers,” said Zou. “Only in this way can we have a happy dorm like and make lifelong friends.”
