B

Dear Editor,

My sister Becky keeps singing a song to me, though she knows I don’t like it. She even tells her friends to sing it to me! It really makes me angry.

Dale

Dear Dale,

Your sister seems to think it’s fun to make you angry, and the way you react (反应) may make her think it’s more fun.

You could try to ask your sister nicely to stop. Anytime she sings it in the future, don’t react or get angry. If you need to, leave the room. When you don’t react, she may become bored and stop singing.

Your parents may have advice on how to deal with this, too.

Editor

Dear Editor,

When people ask what I want to be when I grow up, I don’t know how to reply because I want to do so many things. Most of the time, I answer, “I don’t know.”

Cindy

Dear Cindy,

Those people might just be trying to get to know you better. What they are really asking is, “What interests you now?”

The next time someone asks what you want to be, you could say something like “Today I think I’d like to be a writer or an artist. But ask me tomorrow, and I may change my mind”.

Editor

Dear Editor,

My best friend’s parents ended their marriage (婚姻). She’s having trouble going between houses and is sad all the time. It makes me feel sad, too.

Sally

Dear Sally,

It’s hard to watch a friend go through something hard. Help your friend make the best of her time at each house, asking her to hang out (闲逛), or even just staying with her when she’s having a hard time. If she’s not better soon, talk to a trusted adult.
