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(过错)! 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 them. It might be your teacher, your parents, or even your friend's parents. 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(可靠的)adult. Then the bullies will feel very afraid if their names appear in a letter!

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

In the workplace, some people take the time to tell others how helpful they are. People practice gratitude in different ways every day. Why should we thank the people and the things around us?

Gratitude is selfless act. It helps you to learn to be empathetic. If you always know the goodness in life and give thanks to others it will be easier for you to find out the needs of others and to offer help whenever you can. Being empathetic to others' opinions and experiences will make you a better parent and friend.

Your health condition will be improved if you are always thankful for the people and things around you. According to Robert Emmons, a leading researcher, thankful people always feel healthier, both mentally and physically. Those who are thankful are 25% happier than those who aren't.

Gratitude is also a useful tool to form better relationships with friends, family members and so on. People who express their gratitude always prefer to forgive others and therefore are able to create long-lasting relationships.

The old saying goes "It's never too late to say you're sorry," but the same is true of gratitude. Take the time to thank people for their work or kindness-whether it was today, last month or many years ago. Practicing gratitude doesn't take much time, and it will make you happier and healthier. And that's a gift worth celebrating 365 days a year.
