through. sure, our parents and grandparents were once teens, but things are so different now. it has never been tougher to be a teenager. it has never been more important to be in the “right group” or to have the “right brand” of shoes. and those are the easy things to deal with. we also face problems with family, friends, relationships and school pressures. when it gets to be too much, i turn to

to change. we started hanging out with different groups, and we slowly grew so far apart that it seemed as if we had never been friends. i felt confused and hurt. sometime during this period i read the story friends forever in chicken soup for the teenage soul , i felt so much better after reading it. it was like a weight had been lifted from me when i realized that many friendships went through changes and that we werent the only friends to experience them. people change, but that doesnt mean we have to lose the friendships we once shared. my friend and i still spend together when we can and care about each other a lot. that things are different doesnt mean i have to forget about all the good times we had. i will always keep the memories in a safe place in my heart. sincerely, peter9.

between those who make new friends easily, and those who dont, is that socially successful people tend to make eye contact with their conversation partners much more frequently than those who are less successful socially. in fact, you may be able to become much more socially successful by making this one simple change to your behavior. most americans prefer to have a lot of eye contact when they are talking with someone. when a person doesnt make eye contact with them, they tend to think that the person is hiding something or the person doesnt believe in himself/herself. when you are having a conversation and you want to leave a friendly impression, be sure to keep looking at that person frequently while you are talking. if it really bothers you to look directly into another persons eyes, you can gaze generally at, not above, the eyebrow area or the bridge of the nose; this is close enough to the eye region that you will appear to be looking at the persons eyes. but neither the hair nor the shoulders have the same effect. dont stare at other people too intensely, otherwise, you will look aggressive(攻擊性的). keep the majority of your focus on the other person. if you glance around the room too much, look too frequently at other people, your conversation partner may guess that you are looking around for someone else you would rather talk with. you can lighten your nervousness by smiling more often, nodding, and by gazing at the entire face as well as the eyes. in addition, you can frequently looking away for very short periods. when people get the sense that you are really paying attention to them, they will be much more likely to want to have conversations with you!13.according to the passage, some people are socially unsuccessful probably because _.a. they dont like
