Dear Lauren，

     I really need help with my friends. My two best friends Julia and Meredith were mad at each other because Julia lied to Meredith, and Meredith almost got in trouble for it. And now I don't know if they're getting along or not. And the worst part is that I don't know if I should be friends with Julia anymore. But I've known both of them since the first grade! What should I do? Please help!

Jennifer

Hey Jennifer!

     I think before you consider ending your friendship with Julia, you need to find out both sides of the story and how Julia and Meredith feel about each other. Don't be afraid to ask them what's going on; since you're friends with both of them, this involves you. However, make sure you don't say anything you wouldn't want Julia or Meredith to know. There's a big difference between listening to your friends' problems and gossiping. You're in a hard situation, and you have to be careful of what you say. Even if Meredith and Julia aren't friends, you can still be friends with both of them. To make you “pick” between them is not fair for either of them. If you end one of your friendships, keep in mind that it's natural for even friends who have known each other for a really long time to grow apart. Good luck, and take it easy!

Lauren

Sixteen years ago, I learned an important life lesson in the back of a New York City taxi.

     I was on my way to Grand Central Station, and we were driving in the right lane when a black car suddenly sped out of a parking space right in front of us.

     My driver hit the brakes hard, skidded, and missed the other car by a few inches. The driver of the other car, the man who had just nearly caused a huge accident, started shouting at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at him. He was really friendly!

      “Why did you just do that？” I asked him. “This guy almost destroyed your car and could have sent us to the hospital！”

      This was when my taxi driver told me what I now call “the Law of Garbage Trucks”．

      “Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of anger, and full of disappointment，” he said. “As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it, and if you let them do, they'll dump it on you. So when someone wants to dump on you, just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. You'll be happier because of what you have done.”

      I started thinking, how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and dump it on other people—at work, at home, or on the street? It was on that day that I said, “I'm not going to dump anymore.”

A student had to get his long hair cut off in a middle school in Guangdong Province. It was talked a lot among teachers and students.

     In fact, all schools have their own rules. In most schools, boy students are not allowed to have long hair while girls are not allowed to dye their hair. And most school rules say that students should wear their school uniforms at school. And students must obey these rules so that they can get healthy development at school.

     But some students have disagreements. They think that boy students have long hair doesn't mean that they are not good students. They want to show their own personality. They think that they would look cool too if they had long hair and the hairstyles like their favorite stars.

A girl student thought that she would look much more beautiful if she had brown hair. So she had her dark hair dyed brown one day. When she went back to school the next day, the teacher was very angry with her. She said that she worked hard at her lessons and did well in every subject. She just didn't know why the teacher didn't allow her to dye her hair while women teachers can.
