Dear Editor,

I'm an overweight (超重的) girl. People always make fun of me. At school,I don't spend much time with other students and don't like to join in activities that I enjoy because I'm afraid people might laugh at me.

What should I do? Please tell me.

Lily

Dear Lily,

No matter what you weigh, you should be treated with kindness. People who make fun of you are making a mistake. They should accept you for who you are.

My advice for you is to pay no attention to your classmates' comments and all the rude things they may say about you. ③Don't let them upset you, or you will have a bad time all day.

At the same time, you shouldn't distance yourself from them. Instead, find someone you trust (信任) and develop a friendship with him or her. Then you'll feel happier and safer. And don't be afraid to take part in any activities you like. Remember: ④People are more interested in your behavior than your weight.

If you feel that your weight is becoming a problem, then you can start doing things that ⑤_________ (让你感觉好一些) about yourself. You could take up exercise such as running, swimming or jumping rope. Also, you could eat less junk food but something healthier.

Some children are natural-born bosses. They have a strong need to lead rather than follow. Stephen Jackson, a first-grade student, does everything under the idea of what's mine is mine and what's yours is mine. His mother said, "The other day I bought two new toy cars. Later, I saw Stephen with the two new ones while his brother was playing with the old ones. "

 "Examine the whole big family, and you'll probably find a bossy relative in every generation. It's inheritable (遗传的),"says Russell Barkley, who has studied bossy behavior for over 30 years at a university. "Other children who may not be so bossy can gradually get dominance when they sense their parents are weak, hesitant (犹豫的), or in disagreement with each other.

Whether it's inborn nature or developed character, too much control in the hands of the young isn't healthy for children or the family. "In fact a lot of bossy behavior comes from fear," says family psychologist John Taylor. "Children have secret feelings of weakness and a strong wish to feel safe. It's the parents' role to offer that protection," he says in his book.

"I see more and more parents giving up their power," says Barkley, "because they don't want to be as strict as their own parents were. But they also feel less confident (自信的) about their parenting skills. "

When a "boss child" doesn't learn limits(限制) at home, he may cause troubles outside the family, such as having trouble keeping friends.

So for the children, parents should be strict with them in a proper way and get more knowledge to be good parents.
