Students these days often have a lot of worries． Sometimes they have problems with their schoolwork， and sometimes with their friends． What can they do about this？ Some people believe the worst thing is to do nothing． Laura Mills， a teenager from London， agrees．"Problems and worries are normal in life，" says Laura． But I think talking to someone helps a lot． Unless we talk to someone， we'll certainly feel worse．"

    Laura once lost her wallet， and worried for days．She was afraid to tell her parents about it．She even walked three miles to school each day because she didn't have any money．She just kept thinking，"If I tell my parents， they'll be angry!" In the end，she talked to her parents and they were really understanding．Her dad said he sometimes made careless mistakes himself． They got her a new wallet and asked her to be more careful．"I will always remember to share my problems in the future!" Laura says．

    Robert Hunt advises students about common problems． He feels the same． way as Laura．"It is best not to run away from our problems． We should always try to solve them．"He thinks the first step is to find someone you trust to talk to．This person doesn't need to be an expert like himself．" Students often forget that their parents have more experience， and are always there to help them．

To the Editor，

    I am writing as a member of One﹣on﹣One，the sixth﹣grade mentoring （指导） group．Our group is two years old and made up of 14 students．Our task is to help students reach their goals through mentoring．We hope the readers of this school newspaper will join our group． This is my first year as a mentor，but I have already learned that everyone taking part in mentoring gets something out of it．

    I was assigned （分配） to a mentor last year． Mentoring was one of the best things that happened to me． I was able to turn the corner at an important point in my studies， going from nearly failing math to passing it． It still amazes me that I completely changed from almost hating math to loving it! Would you believe I'm even thinking of studying math in college？ Even if I don't， I have skills that I will use for the rest of my life． My own experience made me feel certain of becoming a mentor this year and helping other students like myself． Now that I am a mentor， I realize what a good feeling you get from helping someone else and knowing that you' re making a difference in his or her life．In many situations，lasting friendships are made as well． My mentor and I hit it off right away．And we're still good friends today．

    Becoming a mentor is a serious commitment（承诺）．Mentors spend one hour every week with the student they are mentoring．Considering your responsibilities，it may be difficult to add another commitment to your schedule．But I hope you will at least consider the possibility．

    Thank you for considering our invitation． We look forward to hearing from you．

Sincerely，

Mark Lopez
