Eyes always on us
Video cameras are everywhere: schools, theaters and stores. But in recent years, they have entered our homes. Many parents set up cameras at home to watch their children’s online classes and homework. Are cameras really helpful? What do students think about it?
Li Ming Earlier last year, I liked to lie in bed and watch videos instead of studying. This affected my studies and made my grades worse. So my parents set up a camera to keep an eye on me. It worked. With the camera watching, I had to do my homework first and make plans for studying at home. When I was alone at home, the camera made me feel safe because I knew that my parents were watching on the other side. My grades improved after a year. Zhang Hua When I was in Grade 8, my parents set up a camera in my room. I really didn’t like it because I felt like there were always eyes watching me. I was so uncomfortable that I couldn’t sleep well at night. Knowing there was a camera around when my friends came to my home, they would speak quietly and carefully. We couldn’t have pillow fights. I was sad. So I asked my parents to take the camera away. They agreed it as long as I promised to behave well... I feel happy and free now. |

How I Have Changed
How time flies! I have changed a lot since I became a ninth grader this term.
Do you need a mentor (导师)? Many teenagers have trouble communicating with their parents because parents always expect them to solve problems by themselves. For many reasons, they can’t easily work them out. They also find it hard to deal with the relationship with their parents. What should they do? Here comes the way. There are some mentors who can help teenagers to solve the problems. Mentors are not like parents, but they can bring teenagers personal advice and help them grow. Teenagers need to express their own point of view, even if it goes against the mentors. They will feel relaxed because they can talk with mentors freely. Zhou Ziqian is a student from Sunshine Middle School. He learned a lot from his mentor. “I preferred to have a life journey of my own with my own stories. But my parents didn’t agree. I got much help from my mentor. When I shared my problems, he helped me analyze (分析) them in different ways I couldn’t see. Because of his rich experiences, he could understand me well.” said Zhou, “He made me feel good and also asked me to talk more with my parents?” |
