Young people can have problems with their minds. Some students become worried because they have to study very hard. Others have trouble getting on well with people like their parents and classmates.
Liu Wei, a Junior 2 student from Hefei, could not understand his teacher and was doing badly in his lessons. He became so worried about it that he started to cut his finger with a knife. Another student, 14-year-old Yan Fang from Guangzhou, was afraid of exams. She got very worried in the test, and when she looked at the exam papers, she couldn’t think of anything to write.
A recent report from Jiefang Daily says about 18% of Shanghai teenagers have mental problems. Their troubles include being worried and very unhappy, and having problems in learning and getting on well with people. Many students who have problems won’t go for advice or help. Some think they will look stupid if they go to see a doctor. Others don’t want to talk about their secret.
Liang Yuezhu, an expert on teenagers from Beijing Anding Hospital has the following advice for teenagers.

Dear Kate,
I’m very 36 that you are coming to our school so soon. 37 you arrive, let me introduce 38 you what our school life is like.
Our school is quite famous 39 its long history. It was 40 in the early 1920s. It is a good place 41 we can prepare ourselves well for the future. We have many wonderful teachers who are always ready to 42 help. 43 we pay a lot of attention to how well we do in lessons, 44 high scores is not the only reason to study. The teachers encourage us to try out new ideas and ask questions. 45 their help we have developed all kinds of interests in both Arts and Science. Students can choose to 46 any school clubs they are 47 in. We can also choose the subjects that we want to study. Last term I selected American Literature, because I wanted to learn about famous American writers. This term I chose to attend music classes because my father bought me a piano 48 a birthday present.
49 , I was elected monitor of my class, 50 it can be 51 to be a monitor, 52 I have to do a lot of work and attend many meetings. 53 , being a monitor has taught me a lot, such as caring for others and taking responsibilities and so on. When my class was given the title of “Model Class”, I was 54 than ever before. So being a monitor plays an important part in my school life. I’m very pleased with my work.
I love my school and hope that you will have a pleasant experience here too. I am looking forward to 55 you soon.
