And perhaps it won’t be long before you are on the road to success.People take different roads because they have different potentials(潜力）.So differentstudents should choose different schools. Go to high school if you think that you can go further on that road. Choose a key high school if you are lucky enough to have the chance. Enter a vocational school if you are interested in the lessons there and you are better at making things with your hands.In a word, think carefully and see what kind of person you are.

They even don’t think their parents are fair(公平的)to them.Some students tell me that their parents often say a lot to them, but never listen to them.Some say their parents don’t let them play computer games. Others say when they’re making phone ca lls to friends, their parents like to ask if they’re speaking to a boy or a girl. 23 Some students even decide to leave home because they’re afraid to tell their parents when they do something wrong, or when they don’t do well in exams. Then they usually think running away is a good way. 24 Problems are part of life. Here are some suggestions for your problems.
