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

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?
-Erica, 9, Texas |

What should I do if I failed a test? I'm afraid to tell my mom because she might

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

Dr. Molly's Answer ①
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 Answer ②
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 Answer ③
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 Answer ④
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 (怀疑) your abilities to do things right. Just
relax. |
