How important is your appearance? Although everyone wants to be good-looking, are beautiful people always happier people? For example, it must be a problem to be a really beautiful woman, because some people may be more interested in looking at you than talking to you. They think of you as a picture rather than a person.
Some people think that women who are exceptionally(格外地) pretty and men who are particularly handsome must be stupid. They believe that only unattractive(无魅力的) people can be intelligent(智慧的).
On the other hand, no one wants to be really ugly, and have a face that even your mother doesn't want to look at; and no one wants to be plain, either--that is, to be neither attractive nor unattractive, and have a face that is easily forgotten. Being attractive is like being rich. It can help you find happiness, but it doesn't always make you happy.
So maybe the best thing is not to worry too much about how you look, but simply try to be an interesting person. For interesting people have interesting faces, and interesting faces are almost always attractive.
It's hard to make friends if you stay at home all the time, so get out of the house and do things that will put you in touch with(接触)other people. It's easier to make friends with them when you find you like the same things as other people.
Don't be afraid to show people what you're really good at. You can talk about the things you like and do best. People will be interested in you if they, hear something interesting about you.
Look at people in your eyes when you talk to them. That way, they'll find it easier to talk to you, or people may think you're not interested in them and may stop being interested in you.
Be a good listener. Let people talk about themselves before talking about "me, me, me” You can ask people lots of questions and show that you are interested in their answers.
Try to make friends with the kind of people you really like, respect(尊敬)and admire(羡慕). You shouldn't just make friends with those people you will meet them easily. Try to be friendly with all kinds of people. That way, you'll have a bigger group of people to choose from. Then you'll be easier to make friends with other people.

I feel happy when I spend time with my family. Every time I feel sad, I skate with my sister, go shopping with my parents, or play computer games with my brother. If someone is unhappy, I just tell them jokes to make them laugh. It always works. —David, 16 |
In my mind, happiness comes when I make my dream come true or when someone tells me how much I mean to them. When my mother is sad, I always cook a nice meal for her. —Joe,16 |
For me, reading an interesting book or having fun with my friends can make me happy. I like playing the piano, and I hope other people will become happy after they hear me play the piano. —Wendy, 15 |

Most parents are worried the first time they catch their kids out lying. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}
According to the child and teen psychiatrist Gayani DeSilva, "Kids lie for many reasons, and it is normal for them to lie. People are not born with the knowledge of communicating with others and getting their needs met. They must learn how to communicate those needs in proper ways. They'll experiment with different communication styles and skills until they find the ones that work best for them. Lying is one of these skills."
{#blank#}2{#/blank#}they become more aware of how their actions affect others, and many will lie less frequently because they know it could hurt someone else's feelings. In spite of this, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} According to DeSilva, when children lie, look at them directly and ask what they need. After they tell you, gently remind them that telling you directly will be more effective（有效的）than lying.

In some cases, lying is a sign of a deeper problem. A child who is neglected will lie more than a child who has attentive and responsive parents. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}he may lie to please others. The same goes for a child who has experienced something unpleasant. By paying attention to the reasons behind a lie, parents can know what needs to be done. For example, while Jack might lie about finishing his homework in order to play video games, he might also be trying to avoid negative feelings connected with homework. "And this is just where parents should start," says the therapist Gideon Javna.
