    Lots of kids hate school, a new study found. Usually this kind of feeling doesn't last long. But what happens if you feel this way too much? School is a fact of life and getting a good education can help you build the kind of future life you want. So let's talk about school and what to do when you don't like it. If you don't like school, the first step is to find out why. You might not like school because you don't have enough friends, or maybe you don't get along with your teachers. Sometimes it's a big problem with your schoolwork. You may be getting farther and farther behind, and it may seem that you'll never catch up. When you know why you don't like school, you can start taking steps to make things better. It's a good idea to talk to someone about your problems with school. Your mum, dad, teacher or school counselor (辅导员) will be able to help you. Another good idea is to write down your feelings about school in a notebook. It's a great way to let out emotions (情绪). Remember, you don't have to show what you've written to others.

提示:1）看法：在父母看来,我们仍是孩子，父母这样做是为了保护我们；

2）建议：给父母写信谈谈你的想法,主动帮你父母做些力所能及的事情。

Dear Josh,

    Thanks for your e-mail. I have ever had the same experience. I even had a fight with my parents. But now, I understand them.

    Let them know you are old enough to look after yourself and make decisions.

    I hope these can help you!
