Dear Doctor,
I am a sixteen-year-old student and I've been experiencing lots of back pain and headaches lately. I'm unsure about the cause. Like some of my friends, I spend my evenings playing computer games and surfing the Internet. What's more, I carry a heavy schoolbag to school everyday. I'm just an ordinary student, but these health problems are starting to worry me. What can I do?

Dear Adam,
I'm unable to tell you exactly what's wrong, but I can offer some advice. First of all, don't spend too much time on your computer, and stop using it late at night. It's important for teenagers to get enough sleep. Also, you get headaches from looking at computer screens for a long time. If you sit on a chair for long, it can make your back sore too. As for your schoolbag, it's important to manage its weight. Take anything you don't need out of your schoolbag. If possible, leave some books or materials at school.
I hope my advice is helpful. Anyway, I strongly recommend you visit a local doctor for that.

Dear Aunt Betty,
There is too much homework to do in middle school. Sometimes I can't finish all the homework because some of the homework is too difficult for me to work out. It makes me so upset that I am losing interest in studying. What can I do?

Dear James,
Middle school can be difficult; there's no doubt about it.
I'd advise doing the hardest homework first. Leave the easy part for later. Another way to organize the order of your homework is from your least favorite to your favorite subject. That way, you can use your energy for the most difficult work in the beginning, and as you become more tired or impatient, you'll be able to finish the rest more quickly and more easily. Saving the best for the last is a good tool of motivation(动力) and serves as a nice reward in the end.
The second piece of advice is to do your homework as soon as you can. This is a great way to organize the tasks that you most dislike in life. If you get your homework done as soon as you get home (or even during a free period in school), you'll open up the rest of the day for things you actually want to do. The longer you avoid your homework, the less likely you are to get it done.
Good luck!

Dear Betty,
I'm very glad to write to you. I have had some problems since I was in the ninth grade. I seldom communicate with my parents. It seems that they never want to understand me. So we even have an argument sometimes. I feel nervous and unhappy. I am a boy who likes playing basketball very much, but my homework is getting more and more. I don't have time to play and relax any longer. Now I have a lot of pressure from my schoolwork so that I can't often fall asleep at night. I am really tired and stressed out. What should I do? Could you please give me some advice? Thanks a lot.
Best wishes,
