Dear Johnmi:

  I heard that you have a boyfriend last week, and I wrote the letter to tell you I think you shouldn’t make a boyfriend in your high school life. You maybe feel that I think of this thing a storm in a teacup, but in fact, I ponder you will regret one day.

  Don’t you discover your scores get worse and worse after you have a boyfriend? Although you think to be loved and love someone are happy things, but of our young age, I reason our mental ages are not mature enough to have the ability of loving someone.

  The second conclusion is you have no time! I don’t think a high school student have time for romance. The University Entrance Exam is approaching, you should pay more attention in. as your best friend, and I don’t want to see you sink into the hard time. I wish you can think twice about what I say.

Best wishes    

Misha

Dear Anne:

  I was startled to hear the news that you have an intimate relationship with a boy in high school. As your best friend, I have to tell you that it’s not wise.

During the critical period, we should study hard to enter a university which you desire for a long time. Hold on for a little longer, and you can get you goal.

Besides, if you need someone to shard sorrow and happiness, friends can do them as well. Spend more time with friends and make new friends. Friends will play an important role in the rest of your life.

  In addition, there’s no denying that we have little time to accompany our family when going to the college. Therefore, we have to treasure the time with our beloved family.

  Anne, I miss you a lot.

Dear Sam:

When I heard you made a girlfriend, I was so surprised. But I agree with you, and I think making girl friends is good for students.

You may be astonished about why I can say that. Two reasons can explains that to love is good. One reason is youth won’t come back again, so the loving emotion at young age is valuable, and the same emotion can’t be found again in the future. The other important reason is gain experience about how to get along with the opposite sex friends. This experience can help our social ability a lot.

According to these reasons, you would know why I agree you make girlfriends. So as your best friend, I give you the whole blessings that your love can make you happy everyday.

                                                                                                                                     Friend

Dear Eric,

    I know you don't agree to fall in love with someone in high school, but I want to share my thoughts with you.

    We can learn how to care one's feeling by love. Because love is built on communication. Lovers talk about their eperience and opinion to each other so that they can understand the other's feelings. Thus, people can not always think about himself.

    Loving is not only a sweet and implusive thing but also a lesson of life which we must face to. If you accept my ideas, you might have a different undergo.

Your friend,

Kyra

Dear Ken,

         Hi! Long time no see. I recently heard your mother say that you want to make a girlfriend. I want to tell you I disagree you fall in love during high school.

I know you will not agree with my suggestion but let me tell you some examples. First, you will spend a lot of time talking to her on cell phone and she will occupy your weekend. You might spend so much money. Second, when you and she argue, without a doubt, you will feel upset and anxious all the time. Finally, breaking up will keep you from concentrating on your lessons.

It is too early for us to fall in love with girls. Now you might not have the ability to look after both of you. So I hope you can adopt my proposal. Good luck!

Your best friend,

Danny

Dear Becky,

        You told me that you have a crush on a cute boy in your class and you want to ask him to be your boyfriend. As your elder sister, I have to tell you I don't think that's a good idea.

        First of all, 90% of couples in high school will break up. We are too young to deal with problems between boyfriends and girlfriends. We often act without thinking twice, we can't imagine what the result will be.

        Second, we should spend more time with family because you'll leave home soon for college, job or marriage. So don't waste time on something that is not necessary.

        In the end, I want to tell you I love you because you are my only sister. So you don't need to seek love from others. Doing things at the right time will keep you from getting hurt in your life. I hope you'll always remember that.

                                                                                                                                               Your loving sister,

                                                                                                                                                 Phoebe

My dear best friend     

  When I heard that you have a boyfriend, I’m so shocked.

  I think that I should tell you something.  I want to advise you not to have a boyfriend when you are still a senior high school student.  You can just make opposite sex friends.

  First, when you have a boyfriend, you’ll need to spend much time on him.  Especially when you have a quarrel with him, your mind won’t concentrate on your schoolwork.

  Next, you don’t have economic ability.  So, when you want to buy something for your boyfriend, you’ll need to spend your parents’ money.

  Finally, you will lose the freedom of making other opposite sex friends because your boyfriend won’t be happy to see you playing with other boys.

  In a word, I hope that you can think twice before you make a boyfriend.

Yours,

Joanne

Dear Grace:

     I heard that a boy perused you recently and that you seemed to admire him.  I encourage you to fall in love with him in teen-age period.  After all, he might be your Mr. Right. 

     It’s sweet that there is a person you can share the sweetness and the bitterness in your lifetime and it will make you feel at ease because he is your permanent support.  You can reach the same goal together and the process is worthy of enjoying because he is by your side all the while.

     I believe that you and him will have good result, so don’t give in to any obstacle.

                                                                Sincerely,

                                                                                Agnes

Dear Simon:

Last time we talked about if we should fall in love during our high school life, and I chose not.  Now I want to explain about my opinion. 

There are two main reasons why I disagree to have a boy friend in my high school.

  One is that I think it is a waste of time.  When having a boy friend, I will pay all my attention on him, think about him, and take care of him.  Ignore my work sometimes and my performance in school might go down.  It’s unsuitable and unnecessary for students, like us, who should study hard to get better grades. 

The other reason is I’m afraid if the couple didn’t have a happy ending, they might have troubles.  For example, suppose I don’t want to see him anymore, but we share the same friends, it’s hard not to have interactions.

Thus, I decide not to be in love during high school life, I believe I will meet someone better in the future.

Best Wishes

                                                                                                                                                      Your student,
                                                                                                                                                       Amy

Dear Miyako:

After knowing that you have an Net-pel. I disagree that you have close interaction with him .Spending too much time on the Internet has no help for your learning. Besides, it causes the distance between you and your family. More important, your sweet dialogues on the monitor can’t reveal your true personalities.

  What you lack now is the mature attitude to choose the right male friends. If you can’t tell the good friends from the bad ones, you need a wise adviser to guide you. Your parents are worried about you. I hope you can make the right decision for yourself.

                                                                                                           Yours,Tiffany

Dear Mary;                                                                                                April 3, 2009

 This morning I heard you had a boyfriend. I was surprised and worried about you.  In fact, I disagree you to make a boyfriend during high school. I have to tell you my honest opinions and hope you can accept them.

 To begin with, if you have a boyfriend, you may not be able to concentrate on your studies because you will think of him all the time and be absent-minded in class. But don’t forget we have a college entrance exam next year, so you shouldn’t waste time on him now.

  Besides, most puppy love is unreliable because teenagers’ mentalities haven’t matured. Consequently, the boy may not love you really and you will be hurt deeply if you find this truth.

  Maybe you will feel unhappy that I don’t support you. However, I believe you can understand what I said finally. Please think twice, I hope you can study hard now and meet the better boys in colleges.

                                                              Yours,

                                                               Rita

Dear mommy,                                                                             09/03/08

  I fell in love with someone in my school, and I decide to tell you this secret because I don't want to hide anything from you.  You might worry about this, but I just want to tell you that I will be responsible for myself and won't do anything which will disappoint you.

  I promise I will do better on my schoolwork.  Many parents think that being in love with a boy at such a young age will impact the performance on study, but I think that is ridiculous because the impact of falling in love can be good and bad.  It depends on the person you are being with.

  Sometime I feel lonely, so I need someone to talk to and hang out with.  Just like Arthur dose, I want to enjoy the happiness of dating with my boyfriend.

  I want to let you know that I will appreciate it if you can accept this relationship between me and my boyfriend.  I love you mom.

Your lovely daughter

Jacqueline

Dear Ciel,

  I am surprised that you have fallen in love with someone, and I think it might not be proper now.  Therefore, as your best friend I want to offer you some suggestions to analyse the entire situation.

  First, we will have University Entrance Exam soon, and maybe we should prepare for it instead of fooling around with boyfriend.  In my opinion, I regard the exam as the most important thing now.

  Second, perhaps you feel lonely so that you want someone to accompany you.  However, what you can do with boyfriend is also can do with friends.  Thus, do you really need a boyfriend?

  As a result, I know you are smart enough to tell which is good for you.  By the way, do not let anyone control your own life.  You have to make a decision by yourself.

                                                                                                                                                          Yours, Fion

Dear Mom,

    I made a boyfriend. I tell you because I want to get your supports and regard you as my friend.

    I know why you oppose me to make a boyfriend because you want to keep me from getting hurt. If I got hurt in the love, home would be the warmest harbor, and I could also grow up.

    Besides, we can study together and achieve our dreams. We can accompany each other on this hard road. I won’t let it influence my studies; instead, I’ll get more strength.

    Last, I hope after you read this letter, you may understand me more. Then, you will allow me to have a happy life in senior high school.

                                                                                                                                                          Best wishes

                                                                                                                                                                   Fanny

Dear Jill:

  I heard that you are falling in love with Walt who was your classmate. I should congratulate you but I think it is too early to have a boyfriend when you are a senior high school student. You may be affected by him.

  The following points are the opinions why I oppose you to have a boyfriend. First,maybe you just feel curious about being accompanied with an opposite sex or you just envy those who have a boyfriend. Second,you are a student,and it is the most important year to prepare fo the College Entrance Examination.You had better pay all your attention to studying hard. Third,you might have a large number of costs,such as movie tickets,gifts,and dinner dates.You spend not only money but also time on these dates. Fourth,all that your boyfriend can do can be replaced with your friends,for example,your friends can listen to you talking about something weighing on your mind and go shopping with you. Take my advice,or you will regret that you didn't accept my opinion.

Dear Vivian,                                                                             April 6, 2009

  How are you? I heard that you have a boyfriend the other day. To be honest, I don’t agree you do that during senior high school. Because I think both you and he aren’t mature enough at this stage. If you quarrel, one of you might be irrational or even hurt yourselves.

  Moreover, you haven’t the ability to earn money on your own. The source of money is from your parents. You will waste your parents’ money when your boyfriend’s birthday comes. In case you really want to have an intimate relationship, I suggest you study hard for a great college instead of having a boyfriend that disrupts your concentration on study. I hope you can think twice.

                                                                                                            Yours,

                                                                                                              Lydia

Dear Ashley:                                                                                             April 1, 2009

  I heard you had a boyfriend. I don’t think it’s a good idea for you to have a boyfriend right now. Due to our heavy schoolwork, we don’t have time to date others. Besides, if you call him instead of meeting, I am sure your purse must be empty.

  The only thing you have to do now is spend time with family. I knew you have a very cute sister. She will be very happy with your company. When you share the thoughts and emotions together, remember to have fun and enjoy.

  You will know how deep your family loves you. And when we go to university, we’ll probably live far away from home. So cherish every chance now! You will realize it’s much more appropriate to have a lover when we finish high school.

                                                                                               Your sincere friend,

                                                                                                                     Yuko

Dear sister,

    I know you want to have a boyfriend. When I was of your age, I had thought of it. Many of your friends said the bright sides of puppy love, but there are still the dark sides.

    First, you’ll fall behind your schoolwork. When you are studying, you can’t pay attention to your textbooks, and you’ll get bad grades on the exams. Second, it will cost you much money. When special days are coming, you have to give him gifts or eat outside for celebration. You don’t have an income now, and your financial supports are from our parents. It means you waste our money to the boy. Besides, your mental age has not been mature yet. You can’t judge if the boy is the best for you.

    So, I think you can make opposite sex friends instead. What you can do with your boyfriend can also do with your friends, for example, strolling down the street or chatting private things. If you enter a better senior high school, you can make a better love. What you have to do now is study hard.

Yours,

sister

Dear sister,                                        50836蕭行雅

  I know that you have fallen in love with a guy recently.  Since then, you haven’t paid attention to your schoolwork and that really worries Mom and Dad.  As your older sister, I don’t think it’s appropriate for you to make boyfriends at senior high stage.  Here are the reasons:

  Because we are still students, studying should be our top priority.  If a man who always gets down to what he likes first, but sets aside what he is supposed to do, he might get nothing but failure eventually.  Now you kept talking on the phone with the guy, neglecting your studies.  As a student, you should spend more time on schoolwork.

  Furthermore, our mentalities are not mature enough for romance.  You may harm each other even beyond remedy.  For example, I had a friend who was once excellent both in her studies and behavior at school.  Rather, things changed after she made a key pal boyfriend.  Her study was declining worth and worth, and what is more, she’s now a 17-year-old mother.

  Falling in love at the age of seventeen is risky.  We ought to postpone it until college.  You can also come to me when you face any difficulties.  Let us figure it out together.                                            

                                                              Yours sincerely

Dear Jenny,

  I know you have been busy making our boyfriend’s gift recently, but I think it’s not correct to have a boyfriend in high school.  Having opposite sex friend is fine, but don’t let one of them become your boyfriend.

  Parents and teachers always tell you not to fall in love with others now.  I also have some advice for you.  First, having a date with your boyfriend keeps you from concentrating in schoolwork.  If you have a quarrel with each other, you’ll feel unhappy and won’t want to study.  Second, you can’t make money by yourself now.  When both of you take a trip, eat out, and go to movies, you’ll spend your parents’ money.  They will become extra and big expenses.

  Concentrating on studying and don’t think about boyfriends.  You’ll find better boyfriends in college.

Yours,

Joey.
