How to Be Mentally Healthy
Many of us students now have some mental problems, which worry us much and even have bad effects on both our studies and lives. Some students are so worried about exams and academic achievements that they can’t fall asleep at night. As a result, they feel sleepy in the day time and can’t concentrate in class. Others can’t get along well with their parents or with their classmates. They always feel stressed and easily get angry.
As a matter of fact, there’re many ways for us to deal with our mental problems. First of all, we can turn to our teachers for help, including our teacher of psychology. Secondly, communication is of vital importanc e. When we have a talk or discussion about our problems with our friends or classmates, we can feel greatly relieved. Last but not least, we need to develop a positive attitude towards our studies and our life. Wearing a smile is not only a sign of friendliness but also a cure for bad feelings. I believe these methods will help us live and study happily.
