Being a teenager can be hard at times. That's because you have to meet parents' expectations(期望), do your school work and deal with different problems.   36   Instead of filling with bad mood, treat all the problems as chances you have! That means you are a responsible(有责任感的) person. As a teen, you have lots of things to do to show how responsible you are.

37 If your parents are still cleaning your room, they probably don't think you can deal with other things like having a job or looking after a pet. Show that you are responsible by cleaning your room and keeping it tidy.

Work toward good grades. Try your best to study hard and finish your homework on time. Yes, homework can be a trouble.   38   Doing well in your lessons is one of the best ways to show you're responsible. This might seem not easy. But remember that your teachers want you to succeed!

Think before you act.39 If you start getting angry, take a few seconds to think about why you're upset and calm down. Think about the results carefully before you decide.

Have an open talk with your parents.   40   But it's important to let them know what's going on in your life. Your parents will be happy if you let them know about your life. Don't forget to ask about how things are going with your parents. This shows them that you're growing up.

If you think yourself a responsible teenager, please show it to your parents and teachers to let them know that you have grown up and can be responsible for yourself.

My Happiness

Happiness is for everyone. In fact, happiness always lies in the simple things around us.

It was a sunny and hot day. After having four classes, I felt very hungry. So I decided to buy something to eat in the market. When I waited in line, I suddenly found that I forgot to take any money with me. Then I had to go back to my classroom with hunger. After a while, I saw a man coming into my classroom. That was my father who carried a box in his left hand. He came to me and said," You must be hungry, dear. I forgot to give you money this morning. Eat now." I felt so warm at that moment. It deeply touched me.

Sometimes, maybe a common, small thing would make me happy. And that is my happiness.
