1．My mother is a doctor. She is too busy with her work to spend the weekends with me. It seems that she doesn’t care me at all. I feel lonely,

Nobody is born silly. Maybe you haven’t got right ways of study yet. Ask the teachers or classmates for help if you have questions.

2．I am too shy to speak in front of my classmates. They always laugh loudly when I am answering teachers’ questions. I am so frustrated.

Your classmates may not laugh at you. If you don’t like their laughter, you should talk to them about your feelings. They might understand you. You had better be more easygoing and be their friends, so you won’t feel frustrated if your friends laugh.

3．I am not allowed to hang out with friends at all. My parents want me to study all the time at home. I feel unhappy.

Don’t be afraid. You should tell your parents or teachers at once. Don’t go out alone                             ——C

4．I think I work harder than others, but I get bad grades. Am I too silly?

Let your parents know your friends are nice. You learn a lot from them when you have fun with them. You study with them outside, too.                                   ——D

5．A serious high school student asks me to give him 100 yuan every week without telling others. I am frightened, so I don’t want to go to school now.

Tell your mother you need her company sometimes. Also you should do some housework with your mother so that she can finish her work quickly. Try to understand your mother, too
