Although we now have a lot of easy ways to contact our friends and family, many people still enjoy writing letters. American artist John Pena enjoys writing letters, too. However, his letters are not sent to his friends or family.

For more than ten years, John has sent letters to a place that doesn't even have a mailbox: the ocean. The contents (内容) of the letters are usually nothing more than a simple journal entry (日记的事项).

He also wants to catch the elusive (难以捉摸的) moments in everyday life by writing letters.

John has written over 3,000 letters to the ocean. But they were all returned by the post office with a "no such place exists" stamp, John has showed the letters. He likes to look at these letters and feel the inner peace they bring him.

James is a good student and he has lots of friends, but he also has a problem. Some older boys are bullying(欺负) him at school. James is very unhappy and he doesn't know what to do about it. Here are some suggestions to him and other teenagers in this situation.

Don't feel worried. It's not your fault! Being bullied can make you feel very lonely and angry, but you are not alone. Don't feel that you have to hide the problem. You should find a person you can trust and tell her or him. It might be your teacher or your parent. After you tell someone, you will get some support and feel some relief(解脱).

Speaking to an adult might make you nervous, but here are other things you can do. Some people express their feelings more easily on paper. Write a letter to someone or keep a diary. Include all the details(细节) about what the bullies do, as well as when and where the bullying happens. You can use it as proof(证据) to show what is going on. And it is a wonderful idea to show your letter or diary to a teacher or another responsible adult. Then the bullies will feel very afraid if their names appear in the letter or the diary!

Also, don't show you are sad and don't try to fight with the bullies. Or you could get in trouble yourself. Ignore them and just walk away. The bullies will soon stop.

Everyone needs friends. There is an old saying, “Friends are God's way of taking care of us.” But how do you find real friendship and keep it?

First, you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend? It is not because a person has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient. For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend should listen to your complaints(抱怨)and do his or her best to help you. To make a friend, you can't be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your life.

But things cannot always be happy. Even the best friends have fights. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to him or her. When there is no one around, talk to him or her honestly. If he or she doesn't want to talk, you can write a letter.

There are some steps to be friends again. Tell him or her how you are feeling; say what your friend did is wrong and explain why you did this or that. Remember that friendship is the most important thing in your life.
