“I don’t have to take after-school classes each week. It’s good news for me. I didn’t want to take these classes because I often felt tired,” said a fifth-grade student in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. The girl used to take Chinese, math and English classes on the weekend.

The students are happy because of the new education policy(政策) — “double reduction”(双减). On July 24, 2021, Chinese government made the policy for primary and junior high school students. The aim is to reduce the amount of homework and the burden(负担) of after-school classes on students.

Many parents and students show their support(支持) for the policy because it can lower students learning stress. However, parents should help with the students to deal with the new challenge(挑战) of making the best use of time after school. A parent in Shanxi said that although she agreed with the policy, she worried what her son would do after school if both parents had no time to be with him.

Puberty (青春期) is a stage (阶段) of life when young people leave childhood and head into adulthood. It is a difficult time for young people because it changes both their bodies and minds. They need to understand what is going on with their bodies, how to do with those changes and learn to take responsibility (责任).

A young person may begin puberty at 8, while another may not start puberty until 14 or 15. Usually, girls start puberty before boys do. For both girls and boys, it is usually complete by the age of 18.

During these years, the body develops in many ways. Feeling will also change quickly. Young boys at this stage are interested in having fun and being accepted by others. They need to think before they act and make up their minds for themselves.

A girl’s personality often does not develop in the same way as a boy’s. Young girls sometimes lose confidence in themselves. They are no longer sure of their own feelings. Yet they are usually afraid to tell their parents or teachers about their problems. For this reason, young girls should be encouraged to talk about things with trusted adults.

Parents, schools and communities can do a lot to care for and help young people. It is their responsibility to make sure that young people grow into healthy adults.

People with sweet childhood memories, especially good relationships with parents will have less stress and fewer diseases after they grow up, according to a research in the magazine Health Psychology.

“We found that good memories seem to have a good effect on health. Perhaps they can reduce stress or help us keep healthy in life,” said the researchers of the study

The researchers used more than 22,000 people in the study. They found that people who remembered higher levels of love from their mothers as children experienced better physical health later in life. Those who had memories with more support from their fathers also had less feelings of sadness.

Many people may experience the time when they are sad or feel they can’t enjoy anything. They hate being weak. So they hide their true feelings. But the research report says this behavior can even make the depression worse. The more attention people pay on happiness, the more disappointed they might probably be.

Researchers call on the people to have a more friendly and patient attitude (态度) about the depression. Only in this way will people not be afraid of it. They will be more likely to work out the problem, and then take actions to deal with them.
