When people have different ideas or needs, conflicts (冲突) may happen. Naomi Drew, the writer of The Kids’ Guide to Working Out Conflicts: How to Keep Cool, Stay Safe, and Get Along, gives kids some helpful advice on getting on with friends.

Q1: A friend of mine often plays with our friends, but he has never invited me. What can I do?

A1: If a friend does something you don’t like, don’t be afraid to talk to him. Don’t be angry with him. Try to make him understand your feelings so that you can work through it together.

Q2: My friend is rude to other people. She said if I didn’t act(表现)like her, she would stop being my friend.

A2:Never “sell out” just to follow one friend. Do what you believe is right, and you can even find some new friends.

Q3: My friend and I argue (争论)a lot. Although we’ll be friends again soon, I don’t like it. What should I do?

A3:“Winning an argument”isn’t always worth (值得) it. Next time when you argue, let your friend“win”if the thing is not important to you. If you give in (让步) a little, so may your friend. And remember, probably your friend isn’t wrong. He or she just sees things differently.

When I was a kid, I often played basketball. So I was thin but healthy. When I was about 15, I stopped playing basketball. I also started to drink a lot of drinks high in sugar and eat much more than before. Between 15 and 17, I put on a lot of weight (重量) — about 50 kg.

I didn’t know how big I was till I saw a photo one day. In the photo, I had a fat neck and my stomach was out there. I didn’t like the way I looked. I knew I needed to lose some weight.

I started to drink only water, and eat less and healthier. I ate mainly vegetables and only one piece of meat every day, and stayed away from sugar.

I also started to exercise. Every day, I ran for 30 minutes first, and then I did some push-ups (俯卧撑) for 10 minutes. I also jumped rope (跳绳) for 15 minutes every day.

I kept exercising all the winter. When March came, many people said to me, “Oh, Dave, you’ve been a different person!”

It was true. I lost 25 kg in three months. I liked taking photos, and I noticed the difference in my looks.

I loved the three months. It felt good to lose weight, and it felt even better to set a goal (目标) and go for it.

Finally Jack came back and introduced (介绍) himself. It was his second year at the summer camp.

“Hello,” said Alonzo shyly.

“I’m sorry I didn’t say hello earlier,” said Jack. “I saw a friend outside and went to talk to him.”

“That’s OK,” said Alonzo, feeling better.
