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 (精神上的,心理上的)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 Aiding Hospital has the following advice for teenagers.
1). Talk to your parents or teachers often.
2). Take part in group activities and play sports.
3). Go to see a doctor if you feel unhappy or unwell.

I remember as a small child people would often ask me,
"What are you going to be when you grow up?"
Well, it 31 being
a cowboy or some super hero. Later it was a fireman, a policeman, a lawyer...
As I grew older my dreams for the future 32 . When, at last,
I was in college, I had my 33 set on becoming a preacher (
牧师) like my father.
34 I studied and prepared for that life. I reached the 35 in
the end and I was preaching 36 full-time for much of my adult
life.
However, for many, there is a
"thief" that goes around stealing our 37 . Sometimes, the
thief will come as a parent, a relative, or a friend, but the 38 thief
is usually ourselves.
We find 39 just about
reaching the top, and a "small" 40 inside says,
"You’ll never 41 it""You can’t possibly do
this." On and on the "small" voice 42 our failure.
Failure, though, is exactly how dreams are 43 . It is one of
the most important tools we have, because it teaches us invaluable (
极宝贵的) 44 . When we learn
these lessons well, we are ready for 45
The message I always gave my
children was that you 46 do anything that your heart desires.
Remember the saying, "Nothing is 47 to a willing heart."
There are 48 "overnight" successes, but with
determination, they will arrive. The life you dream of 49 in the
end .Then in your heart, believe it will happen to you. Then work, work, work.
You’ll get the picture.
So, be true to your dream,
and don’t let anyone 50 it from you —especially yourself.
