Everybody gets stressed from time to time. Some ways of dealing with stress, like screaming or hitting someone, don't solve (解决) much. But other ways, like talking to someone you trust, can lead you to solve your problem or at least feel better. Try taking these steps the next time you are stressed:

Get support. When you need help, reach out to the people who care about you. Talk to a trusted adult, such as a parent or other relatives. They might have ways to help you solve the problems, such as dealing with a test, or the death of a beloved pet.

Don't take it out on yourself. Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset, they take it out on themselves. Oh, dear, that's not a good idea. Remember that there are always people to help you. Be kind to yourself and ask for the helping hand to work out the problem.

Try to solve the problem. After you're calm and you have support from adults and friends, it's time to work out the problem. Even if you can't solve it all, you can solve a piece of it.

Be positive. Most stress is temporary(暂时的). Remember stress does go away, especially when you figure out the problem and start working on solving it.

These steps aren't magic, but they do work. And if you can stay positive as you make your way through a tough time, you'll help yourself feel better. Ah, it feels so good when the stress is gone.

It might be fun to use your smartphone, but be careful. Too much screen time may be harmful to your health.

First, it is bad for your eyes. A researcher called Sarah Hinkley says the problem comes from the blue light that the screen gives out. Looking at a smartphone for a long time can cause eye strain, headaches and dry eyes. So it is a good idea to take a break every 15 minutes when you are working at a computer or using a smartphone.

Second, screen use can do harm to children’s brains. A new study shows that using screens too much can affect how children’s brains grow. If children use screens for more than one hour a day, they might have lower levels of white matter in their brains. White matter is a key to the development of language and reading skills. So it is wise to cut down the time of children using all kinds of screens.

Third, using screens too much will affect your sleep. According to a study, about 95% of the people between the ages of 13 and 64 use electronics before bed, especially the young people under 20. Doctors say that the light from those electronics at night may make you excited before you go to bed. Then it’s hard for you to get enough sleep. So you’d better turn off smartphones, TVs, and all other screens an hour before your bedtime.

To keep healthy, doctors and researchers strongly advise that you shouldn’t use screens for long hours.
