their experiences．

You're not alone．

Sometimes when you're a teenager， you feel as if you're all alone and there's（1） 　　you can talk to． Do you know twenty to thirty percent of teenagers in the US have a hard（2） 　　going through the period？ They feel lonely and sad． I think life is so much easier if you（3） 　　your troubles with others． I regret that I didn't take the advice when someone gave it to me．

Your teachers only want what's best for you．

When I was in school， I never thought I'd become a teacher． I acted badly in class，and feel （4） 　　about that now． I love my job and I know how challenging it is， so I hope kids can show their teachers more respect（尊重）．I hope kids can （5） 　　that teachers push them to do their best and not just to give them a hard time．

Money doesn't grow on trees．

When I was a teenager ，I never learned （6） 　　to save money．I just spent it! My parents gave me everything I wanted， but I realize now they spent little （7） 　　themselves． Now I wish I knew more about planning my money， and I am not the only one! It seems that today's teenagers know about money planning even less （8） 　　me years ago． I do wish they could lean about it earlier．
