Question

【题目】 One day Madison's teacher found her sitting alone at lunch, looking sad and upset. She could hardly eat the butter sandwich that she usually couldn't wait to eat. "What's the matter, Madison?" the teacher asked. Later that afternoon, Trey was standing alone by the basketball court after school. Trey's mom asked him why he didn't go to play with Zack and Steve, who were shooting hoops. He told his mom that he just didn't feel like it, so they walked home.

But the truth was that Trey and Madison were facing the same problem: They both felt left out, and their feelings were hurt, they felt lonely.

Madison was so sad that he didn't want to eat, and Trey was so mad that when he got home he slammed his bedroom door. The kids who had been their friends before weren't their friends all that time.

What can you do if you're feeling lonely? Let's read some kids' advice on how to deal with loneliness.

"Take something to school and if someone asks to play with you, say yes. They might ask you to play with them next time." (Caleb)

"Listen to music or learn to play an instrument." (Rizwan)

"Help mom or Dad to do jobs. You'll have someone to talk to and you'll learn how to do things when you grow up" (Natalia)

"Talk about it with other people who do the same things, and then you can be friends" (Sean)
