Everyone worries. Worry is not all bad. But some kids worry too much. If that sounds like you, you can take these three steps.

◆Try to find out what you’re worried about. The worst thing is to do nothing. We should know that worries are normal in life, so don’t run away from them, try to solve them. If you can’t find out what worries you, you can talk to your parents, teachers or another person you trust to get some help.

There is almost always something you can do to help you feel less worried. For example, grades at school are often a top worry for kids. If that’s your worry, ask yourself these questions:

※Why are grades important? What do they mean to me?

※How do I prepare for class? Do I review (复习) even when there isn’t a test the next day?

※Do I have a good place to do my homework?

※Do I try different ways of studying, such as reading aloud (大声地), using computers, and working with a study friend?

You can also write down all the actions (行动) you could take. Once you have a list of possible actions, you can choose the one you think is the best for yourself.

◆Ask for help.

Worry can make you feel lonely (孤独的). When you’re worried, it can help to find someone to talk to. Talking to someone will help a lot, he or she will think about ways to help you. And it will make you feel better. As an old saying goes, sharing a problem is like cutting it in half. So you are halfway to solving a problem just by asking for help.

5 Ways to Keep Phone Calls Short

Do you like to talk on the phone?

Do you think that you spend too much on the phone?

The phone rings. It’s a friend who wants to tell you about his or her latest health problem. You hate to be rude and cut your friend off, but what can you do? Stephanie Winston, expert of Stephanie Winston’s Best Organizing Tips, offers this advice:

1.       Don’t ask questions like “What’s new?” They give the impression that you have time to chat. After “hello,” get right to the heart of the matter.

2.       Time your calls intelligently. If you make a call right before lunch or dinner, or at the end of the workday, people chat less.

3.       Set a time limit. Start with, “Hi, I’ve only got a few minutes, but I wanted to talk to you about…” Or, “Gee, I’d love to talk more, but I only have a couple of minutes before I have to go to work.”

4.       Jump on a pause. Even the most talkative caller has to pause now and then. Quickly say, “It has been great talking with you.” Then end the conversation.

5.       Forget niceties (细节). Some people just don’t take a hint (暗示). Stop your caller and say, “I’d like to talk to you longer, but I’m pressed for time. Good-bye.” Then hang up. Don’t ask for permission to end the conversation.

6.       Find a “partner in crime (犯罪活动).” If nothing else works, ask someone in your home to help you. For example, one woman signals (示意) her husband, who shouts loudly, “Jane, I think the meat is burning!”

7.       Avoid the phone completely. Use an answering machine to screen calls. If you have an important message for a chatterbox, leave the message when he or she isn’t in.
