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!

Now things are easier. I have a helping hand. Pete is a golden dog that has been trained to help kids like me. Pete was at dog training school for two years to learn how to do different tasks. I had to be trained too. I had to learn how to give Pete instructions and how to take care of him.

When Pete is working he doesn’t play around. My friends know they are not to pet him or call him when he is working. He can pull my wheelchair and pick up things I drop. Pete carries my books and lunch on his back. He pushes the button on the school lift and opens some kinds of doors. He even knows how to switch lights on.
