Dear Dr Fang,

How are you? I am writing to ask   48    some advice about how to help my 15-year-old son. At    49   moment, he refuses to do almost anything    50   his mother and I ask him to do.1He is our only child and we treat him very well. He often refuses to spend time with     51    or do as we tell him.

Recently, he has been refusing to do his homework, and instead insists   52     wasting his time listening to foreign music. I cannot understand that music,    53   I don’t like it. Meanwhile, he spends too much time in Internet cafes,   54    he either plays games or chats on the Internet. He is wasting valuable time during this important period in his life!

What shall I do? I am worried about it. If I keep allowing him to do  55     he wants, he may fail at school, or worse. How can I help my son without hurting our feelings?

Best regards

Liu Zhen

Feeling left out?

A reader wrote in to say that she was feeling lonely at break because her best friend　wasn't around.Here's our advice to her-and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes.

It's hard when a best friend isn't around-maybe because she moved to a different　school or a different class.You may feel lonely at break or lunchtime.You want to have new　friends.but how do you make them? Maybe it seems like everybody else already has their　friends.But remember, there's always room for more friends.

Start by looking around your classroom-think about which kids you'd like to play　with at break.Look for chances to say hi to them，smile，and be friendly.Offer to share　something or express your appreciation(欣赏)to them.Invite someone to play with you or say "Do you want to sit here?" in the lunchroom.When you're at break，walk over to kids　you want to play with.act friendly，and say "Hi，can l play, too?" or just join in.

If you have trouble doing this or if you're feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends.Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends.The best way to make　friends is to be a friend.Be kind，be friendly，share，say nice things，offer to help-and pretty soon，you'll have one，or two，or even more new friends.

You might still miss that special best friend.But when you see each other, you can share　something you didn't have before she left：You can introduce her to your new friends!
