Shall we try these ways when we face the unexpected moments?

In our daily life, we often hear about news about floods, war, people being hurt and so on. Do you feel like the world is a hard place to live in sometimes?

But what you need to understand is that your feeling is natural. You won’t be the only teenager to have this kind of feeling. There are others around you who have the same feeling as you. It is certain that adults are worried about these things too. So what can you do?

Talk about what is on your mind with adults (成年人) you trust. Tell them a little about what you’re worried about. If you need help, they’re always there. They will probably answer your questions and help you better understand what’s going on.

Know that there are people who are trying to make things better.

These were also the people who would help with the clean-up after the wildfires went away.

Big problems will finally be solved. It might take some time. It might take a lot of effort. But we will all be safe again.

The one thing that you should always remember is that what you feel and think is important. It is OK to react in the way that you are. The news can be hard to understand, but there are people around you who can help you out.
