Many teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. They believe that their family members, and even their parents, don’t know them as well as their friends do. In large families, it is quite often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for advice.

It is very important for teenagers to have good friends or a circle of friends. Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking on the phone. This communication (交流) is very important in children’s growing up, because friends can discuss something difficult to say to their family members.

As teenagers, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize, or they can be small. You may just want to become one of the ten best students in your class.

Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream real?

Follow Your Heart by Australian writer Andrew Matthews tells us that making our dreams real is life’s biggest challenge (挑战).

You may think you are not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer. These kinds of thoughts (想法) stop you from getting your dream.

In fact, everyone can make his dream come true. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is.

Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want. Do this step by step and your dream will come true faster because a big dream is, in fact, many small dreams.

You must also never give up your dream.

There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of (代替) watching TV will get better grades, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book. As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little.
