Hello there,

I’m writing to ask you for help. It’s really urgent because I’m considering running away from home. I feel like there's no way to fix the problem with my mother.

Yesterday evening, we had a heated argument at home after I got home a bit late again.

I had been at my friend’s birthday party. I explained it to her but she just didn’t believe me.

I do know my mother loves me very much and she wants me around every day, or even every minute.

But the fact is that I am 17 years and have my own life style. I am my parents’ only child and my mother says she wants me to have the best possible chance of happiness in the future. She is always telling me to behave well when I leave home or go out. What’s worse, whenever there is a cold war between my mother and me, my father often keeps silent. I am not only confused but also hurt. I don't know what to say or what to do to make things right. I think they are out of fashion and too old to know my inner part.

To tell the truth, I have packed up my backpack but am still at a loss.

Kate

At radio station WJLT in Fort Wayne, Indiana, letters poured in for the Christmas Wish Contest. When Amy’s letter arrived at the radio station, Manager Lee Tobin read it carefully. He thought it would be good for the people in Fort Wayne to hear about this special girl and her unusual wish. Mr. Tobin called up the local newspaper.

The next day, a picture of Amy and her letter to Santa made the front page of the “News Sentinel”. The story spread quickly. All across the country, newspapers and radio and television stations reported the story of the girl in Fort Wayne, Indiana, who asked for such a simple, yet remarkable, Christmas gift－just one day without teasing.

Suddenly the postman was a regular at the Hagadorn house. Envelopes of all sizes addressed to Amy arrived daily from children and adults all across the nation. They came filled with holiday greetings and words of encouragement. Some of the writers had disabilities; some had been teased as children. Each writer had a special message for Amy. Through the cards and letters from strangers, Amy saw a world full of people who truly cared about each other.

Many people thanked Amy for being brave enough to speak up. Others encouraged her to ignore teasing and to carry her head high.

Amy did get her wish of a special day without teasing at South Wayne High School. Teachers and students talked together about how bad teasing can make others feel.

That year, the Fort Wayne mayor officially proclaimed(宣布) December 21st as Amy Jo Hagadorn Day throughout the city. The mayor explained that by daring to make such a simple wish, Amy taught a universal lesson. “Everyone,” he said, “wants to and should be treated with respect, dignity and warmth.”
