Dear Li Hua,

I'm very worried. In school, I am not popular at all. I don't know why. Perhaps this is because I am too shy. I want to change myself to be open and sunny, but I never accomplish this. I always feel lonely at school. I am sort of thinking I had better leave school. Can you help me? Can you tell me what to do?

                                                                       Yours,

                                                                        Jane

Dear Jane,

Thank you for your trust.
