As a teenager, you’re trying to learn who you are. You’re going through mental and physical changes. You’re dealing with different kinds of stress and trying to succeed in school.

The good news is that though the teen years are tough, there are skills you can learn to make them a lot easier.

If you’re a teen and trying to manage your feelings better, here are a few skills for you to deal with your feelings.

Name the feeling.

What feeling are you experiencing? For example, are you sad, stressed. Angry, joyful or excited?

Accept what you’re feeling.

Many people worry that their feelings will increase. So they are not willing to accept them, hoping that they’ll just go away. However, that’s impossible. Remind yourself that it’s OK to feel your feelings.

Become familiar with your feelings.

To better understand your feelings, you should pay attention to your feelings all over the day. You may record how you’re feeling in the morning, afternoon and at night on a piece of paper. Next to your feeling, also write down where you notice it in your body.

Express your feelings.

Expressing a feeling is a good way to reduce it. For example, you can express your feelings by crying, exercising, writing about them or talking to someone you trust. Just be sure that whatever activity you choose, it doesn’t hurt you or anyone else.

At different times in your life, you’ll experience different difficulties. But by learning some helpful skills, you’ll be able to live a comfortable life.

The woman, who has lived in Seaford for the past 20 years, approached the Seaford Newspaper last week “to encourage readers to be on the lookout for people who ask stupid questions.”

At about 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Julie Anderson answered a knock on her door and gave a man, who said he was lost directions to nearby Seaford Station.

She thought nothing of it until she realized there were people in the street whom the man could have asked. She became suspicious(怀疑的) when she saw him knocking on her neighbor’s door.

“Why would someone keep knocking on doors when I’d already told him what he wanted to know?” she said.“I rang the police when I saw him disappear around the side of the house.”

“He came out ten minutes later carrying a bag I hadn’t seen before. The police still hadn’t arrived and I was determined not to lose sight of him.”

That’s when the drama really began .Ms Anderson followed the man to the station.“I was absolutely(完全地) terrified.” She said.“I followed him in my car to the station. He was on foot and when he got there I lost sight of him. I panicked(恐慌) but, a few minutes later, I saw him on the platform. Luckily, there were two policemen coming towards me.” The man had got on a train and Ms Anderson tried to hold the doors open with her foot. She called out to the officers, who caught the man and found CDs and jewelry in his bag.

Later, Seaford police thanked Ms Anderson for her help ,but warned her against such dangerous action in the future.

I can remember clearly the day I arrived at the language camp where something magical happened to me.

My heart was beating fast and I really wanted to tell my _____to turn around, but we were entering the gate and I knew it was too late. I was going to be dropped off and _____ by myself at the age of nine for a whole week. At the gate to Skogfjorden, people started talking to me in Norwegian(挪威语). What had I gotten myself into? I couldn't understand any other _____but English. We then went through the welcome stations where I picked a new name and had my bags checked. Next, I was sent to my room. I was upset all the time, wondering _____ I really could survive the whole week. Mom helped me unpack and organize my stuff, but then she had to leave. I was terrified to tears. But by the time I got back to my room where my roommate, Bob, was waiting for me with a smiling face, my eyes were______.

I was so scared the first night that I had to call Mom,______she insisted I should learn to be independent. Right when I was feeling helpless, Bob's mom called and her words comforted me, “Isn't it ______ to know a bunch of kids of your age?” So it was! Leaving home meant I could connect with the rest of the world, know new people and explore new things. With this thought, the ______ began. Communicating in every way I could, I even found it ______ to get along with others. What's more, I learned a lot of Norwegian in only five days and grew to ______ this place. When my mom came to get me, I was excited to ______ her around all my favorite places. After the closing ceremony, I was so ______ to leave Skogfjorden and my new friends that I burst into tears again. I knew that I had to _________ the next summer—I was hooked(着迷的).

Now, having been to Skogfjorden eight summers in a row, I cannot wait to ______ my little brothers to camp this summer. Maybe someday I will be a volunteer there to help kids take their first independent step away from home. I ______ know how they feel as their parents drop them off. I'm sure some of them will also become hooked on such experiences.
