Millie and Simon find a youth worker's website. There are some e-mails from teenagers all over the world. Read four of the e-mails.

  Hi, my name is Joanna. I live with my family in a small town. My parents are very strict. They disagree on everything I do. For example, when I talk on the phone, they always tell me to stop. I like talking on the phone because I am not allowed to go out with friends. It is my only chance to communicate with people. I talk on the phone in my free time. What is wrong with that? I only talk to my best friends. The caller's number is displayed on the phone so my parents can always tell who is calling me. Why do they still not let me talk to my friends on the phone?

  My name is Irene. I like looking up information on the Internet but my parents say I should concentrate more on schoolwork. I am stressed. They say learning is good. Why should I only learn from books? I can learn from the internet as well. They say time is valuable but they watch TV all the time. I do not want to give up my Internet time. What should I tell my parents? Please give me some advice.

  This is Tom. How can I keep a balance between friendship and schoolwork? My family moved to this city two years ago. I didn't have a friend here. My parents always tell me to study hard so I can improve my English and Maths. I know it is important to get good marks but I want to have a colourful life, too. Every day, I spend many hours studying I achieve good marks but I still have no friends. I need help!

  I am May. Please tell me what I should do. My parents control my life! They tell me what to do, what to wear, when to eat, when to sleep and many other things. I am 15 but they think I am still a baby. They never let me go out with my friends. They do not let me watch TV except the news. What should I do?

Millie is trying to think of the lives of the four teenagers. Look at their pictures on the website. Write the names of the teenagers in the blanks.
