Feeling left out?
A reader wrote in to say that she was feeling lonely at break because her best friend wasn’t around．Here’s our advice to her—and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes. It’s hard when a best friend isn’t around—maybe because she moved to a different school or a different class．You may feel lonely at break or lunchtime．You want to have new friends．But how do you make them? Maybe it seems like everybody else already has their friends．But remember, there’s always room for more friends．
Start by looking around your classroom—think about which kids you’d like to play with at break．Look for chances to say hi to them，smile，and be friendly．Offer to share something or express your appreciation(欣赏)to them．Invite someone to play with you or say “Do you want to sit here?” in the lunchroom．When you’re at break，walk over to kids you want to play with．Act friendly，and say “Hi，can I play, too?” or just join in．
If you have trouble doing this or if you’re feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make  new friends．Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends．The best way to make friends is to be a friend．Be kind，be friendly，share，say nice things，offer to help—and pretty soon，you’ ll have one，or two，or even more new friends. You might still miss that special best friend．But when you see each other, you can share something you didn’t have before she left：You can introduce her to your new friends!

Parents should stop blaming themselves because there’s not a lot they can do about it. I mean the teenager problem. Whatever you do or however you choose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful, reasonable and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal.
I’ve seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son, right from a child, should stand up whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman. I saw him last week when I called round. Sprawling himself on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at me. His mother was ashamed. “I don’t know what to do with him these days,” she said. “He’s forgotten all the manners we taught him.” He hasn’t forgotten them. He’s just decided that he’s not going to use them. She confessed(坦白) that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from the sofa onto the floor.
Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the table, stare at me and say, “I don’t like your dress; it’s ugly.” One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school. The other has left home.
“Where did we go wrong?” her parents are now very sad. Probably nowhere much. At least, no more than the rest of that unfortunate race, parents.
