4.According to the study, around 165,000 children under the age of five each year from diseases caused by secondhand smoke. Most of these deaths happen in Africa and southern Asia.

Health experts are asking governments to do more to create smoke-free indoor environments. But it takes time.

At the same time, you can do something to help protect yourself and other people from secondhand smoke. You can start by asking the smokers you know, such as your parents, to take all of their smoke breaks outside.5.

As teenagers, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize. Or they can be small, you may just want to become one of the ten best students in your class. Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream come true?

Follow Your heart by Australian writer Andrews tells us that making our dreams come true is life’s biggest challenge (挑战).

“You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer. These kinds of thoughts stop you from realizing (实现) your dream,” the book says.

In fact, everyone can make his dream come true. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is.

There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of (代替) watching TV will lead to better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice-cream means you can buy a new book. This is good as you have the chance to learn more skills and find new interests.

Many parents set rules for their children’s online activity, such as limiting ( 限 制 ) the amount of time they can spend online. They complain that their parents share too many photos of them online.

In a 2016 study, it was found that parents in the US share an average (平均) of 116 photos of their kids after they were born. Most were taken before the child turned 8 years old. Many of the photos showed kids in embarrassing ( 尴 尬 的 ) situations like having food all over their faces. Quartz reported.

Parents do like to share their child’s progress as he or she grows up. But their kid doesn’t like it as much. In a survey of UK children between the ages of 12 and 16, 70 percent said they felt their parents didn’t respect (尊重) their online privacy (隐私) according to Digital Parenting Magazine.

In addition, many kids said that other students at school sometimes pick on them after their parents post photos online, CBS News noted. In one case, a girl was bullied (欺负) by boys at school after they found her mom’s blog. There were many family photos in the blog.

“Each time a photo or video is uploaded, it creates a digital footprint of a child, which can follow them into adult life,” a spokeswoman for a leading children’s charity in the UK said. “It’s always important to ask children for their permission before posting or videos of them.”
