61．    We did a survey about teenagers' trouble last week. We were surprised to find that students had lots of trouble in the daily life. Some complained that they took too many after-class lessons and they didn't have time to relax themselves. Some said that they felt stressed out and had trouble in sleeping well at night. Others told us that they had no friends at school, which made them very sad and lonely. To deal with these problems, I'd like to offer some suggestions. We can communicate with our parents so that we can both study and play well. Also, we can keep diaries and write down all the trouble or share them with close friends. More importantly, we can find friends with common interest by joining some clubs. Hope all of you have a better future.
