    Rob Frenette had problems with bullies (欺凌) at school for eleven years. He was often lonely and scared. When he was fifteen, however, he decided to do something about his problems. He walked into a newspaper office and told them about the bullying. His story went into the newspaper and soon all the TV stations in Canada wanted to talk to him about his experiences. They also wanted to hear his ideas to stop bullying.

    After that, Rob continued his studies at school, but in his free time he helped other people with bullying problems. With a friend Katie Neu, he made a website called www.bullyingcanada. ca. Visitors to the website can find advice, stories and poems about bullying in both English and French. When people are upset, they can talk on the phone or online to Rob and his team. Every weekend Rob has to answer e-mails to the website. He also speaks to children, teachers and members of government around the country about bullying.

    Rob's most important message is "When bullies are unkind to you, it isn't your fault. There's nothing wrong with you, so you should try to keep trusting yourself. And remember that people care about your problems. You just have to find those people."

    One of Rob's ideas is Blue Day, a special day for stopping bullying in schools. Students have to wear blue clothes and in class they learn how to stop bullying. More than 150 Canadian schools now celebrate Blue Day, but Rob won't stop until there's a Blue Day in every school in Canada.

    Alf is a big soccer fan. At school, there are lots of children playing soccer. Alf really wants to be a soccer star, but he thinks he isn't good at soccer. He feels very sad. He always thinks about how to be a great soccer player.

    One day, Alf went to watch the school soccer match on the playground with his friend. There were many students watching the match. Suddenly Alf shouted, "Look out!" He jumped up and made a very good save(救球)！

    All the soccer players and the coach cheered for him. "What a good save, Alf! You're the best!" His friend said. The soccer coach came to him and said, "Alf, come with me." Alf stood in the goal(球门) and the coach took a shot(射门). It was a good shot, and Alf saved it. Alf saved the next shot, too; and the next one. All the students cheered. Now Alf knows he is a very good goalkeeper. He is good at playing soccer.
