"It's hard to get up the stairs with my backpack because it's too heavy. ” Students have to carry heavy backpacks on their backs for a whole week's study. Ebelin is one of them. They have regular (通常的) backpacks with two straps (帶子) to carry them,but a number of students with heavy loads (負(fù)栽物) have switched to rolling backpacks. The backpacks have wheels and can roll on the ground. Shirley Park's backpack weighs 10kilos,and she said, "I'll change to a rolling backpack because I am starting to have back pain."

? Letter 1

Whatever I do, I always think about if other people will like it. How   can I stop worrying about what they think?

―Eva ， 14 ， Illinois

@ Letter 2

My dream is to be on the Olympic team for gymnastics. My dad thinks I   started too late and I'll never be able to make it. He puts me down, but I   want his support. What should I do?

一 Erica   ， 9 ， Texas

@ Letter 3

What should I do if I failed a test? I'm afraid to tell my mom because   she might get mad at me. And I can't play soccer. But soccer is like the   world to me.

―Ashley, 12， Wisconsin

@ Letter 4

I just moved, and I'm kind of shy. So how do I make new friends?

―Jessica ， 11,   Canada

Dr. Molly's Answer①

You should tell him about   your dream and that if you work really hard, it might happen even though you   started late. The sooner you tell your dad how you feel, the sooner you'll be   able to work on making your dream come true.

Dr. Molly's Answer②

Nobody knows   you at your new school. You have nothing to lose. So gather up all your   courage and go over to someone who looks friendly and introduce yourself. You   can ask that person about your teacher or the other kids in your class to   break the ice. Good luck!

Dr. Molly's Answer③

It's better to tell your mom the truth than for her to find out   another way. When you tell her, explain why you failed the test. Ask her if   she can help you study in the future, so you'll do better on your tests and   also have time for the soccer you love.

Dr. Molly's Answer④

Just be   yourself and try not to care about what others think. The more you think   about it, the worse you will feel. Always act strong and confident. Even if   you are a little unsure of something, don't doubt(懷疑）your abilities to do things right. Just relax.
