Communication between parents and children is becoming a serious problem. I read a   41  about it in the newspaper. Some children have killed themselves after   42  with their parents. I think this is because they don’t have a talk with each other. Parents now   43  more time in the office,   44   they don’t have much time to stay with their children. As time passes, they both feel that they don’t have the   45  topic to talk about. I want to tell parents to be more with your   46 , get to know them and   47  them. And for children, show your   48  to your parents. They are the people who love you. So   49  them your thoughts. In this way, you   50  have a better understanding of each other.

Many kids think they are   36   . They think they aren't the prettiest or the smartest. At the same time, they think they aren't even the ugliest or the silliest, which would at least make them stand out.  Everyone feels that way sometimes,  37  in middle school. Kids  38   realize how special they are.

It is   39   growing up. Growing up means understanding what you can offer the world. When you're young, you realize that just by being yourself, you do offer   40   to other people. Maybe you aren't the best, but that doesn't make you "not amazing".

Do yourself a favor. Think about your friends carefully. Write down a list of things that you like about them. Think about   41   you make friends with them. You will   42   know that in the end, no matter if they aren't the smartest or the prettiest or   43  talented, they are great in their own way. And they feel just the same       44  you!

Remember, it gets easier as you grow older. If you try your best, you are still pretty   45 .
