Dear Betty:

  I heard you made a boyfriend the other day. I think that making a friend

of opposite sex at the high school phase is unwise.

  First of all, all of your friends will feel being left out when the

relationship between you and your boyfriend become closer. It is

inevitable that your emotion might be up and down like taking Roller

Coaster and the controller is on your boyfriend’s hand.

  In addition, Spending more time keeping company with your family is

getting much more important. Because the time to leave your home is coming.

It will be more difficult for you to go home and share the happy or sad

events with them.

  Finally, breaking up with him is anyone’s guess. I hope you could take

my advice and turn your mind to the right thing.

                                               yours,

                                                      Cathy

Dear Annie                                            980401

        Recently I heard that you have a boyfriend. I was very astonished, but I want to share my opinion with you. Actually, I disagree to have a boyfriend at this time.

        First, making a boyfriend causes you can’t concentrate in your study and usually got bad grades, because you gave a boyfriend and you would keep him in mind every time

and desire to see him. Second, you will lose chances to meet new friends, especially the opposite sex. Because if your boyfriend is a jealous person, you have to be careful！

        We just a student and we are not mature enough. When we face the problems, maybe we can not deal with it well. Most importantly, you should make a effort to get into good college.               

Dear Mr. Chung:                                               4,5,09

  I’m glad you finally have a long-standing girlfriend. Though, mom and dad didn’t present their feelings, I totally support you.

  I have seen your change since you’re dating with her. Your bad temper has improved a lot and you quit your bad habit, such as, smoking. It does you good. Furthermore, you start to think for others, that’s really thoughtful! The best is, she can make you study. In fact, I have never seen you study!

  For these reasons, I am sure it is fine for you to have a girlfriend and I hope you won’t let us down.

My dear parents:

I have to tell you that I'm falling love with Calvin. I know it's unacceptable to you,but I hope you can forgive my behavior.

Maybe it's a chance to learn how to along with the opposite sex. Experience is the best teacher. After all,it's inevitable that I will work with man,even marry a man.

Besides,each life only goes once. Once the youth goes away,it would never come again. I'm hungry for enjoying my youth,because I know if now I follow you,I will regret the way you choose for me one day. Maybe the ending won't be good. At least I decide it on my own. Wit once bought is worth twice taught. No matter how the ending will be,I can learn a lesson from my choice.

Most of all,I know study is the duty for students. I will keep my level. If I can't do my duty to study well,I will give up my romance.

So,dad and mom,please respect my option.

                                                                                                           Yours,

                                                                                                            Sunny                                                         

Dear Noname:                                              April 1^st

  Every girl dreams of having a boy friend at teenage but it isn’t suitable for us now.

  First, the more time we spend on your boyfriend, the less time you spend on your family and friends. Once you break up with your boyfriend, you will be lonely and isolated.

  Second, you are too innocent to protect yourself. There are a lot of guys who look nice without but awful within. They may cheat you or force you to do everything for them. The best way to keep away from the risks is not having a boyfriend.

  Regardless of how sweet the love is, you should spend your youth on exploring the world instead of a teenage boy.

                                           yours, Tina

Dear Tina ,                                                 March

  I heard that you recently had an opposite sex friend. But I want to tell you that having intimate relationship with someone is not good for high school students.

  There are some reasons to support my views. First, falling in love will make a great impact on your scores. You will easily lose concentration in the class when you think of him so that you won’t pay attention to your homework. You will be absent-minded when you do everything. Next, it will waste a large amount of your money and time. For example, having a date costs you lots of money and thinking how to dress up also costs you time. Last but not least, you will put your heart and soul into it so that you will spend little time to stay with your parents and friends. As a result, the relationship between you and your parents will be not close.

  I wish that you could look before you leap and accept my opinions. It will be the best choice for you.

                                               Yours,

                                                Kate

Dear Kathleen ,

       I know you admire Patrick and want to be his girlfriend. But look at you. You paid too much attention to him and neglected your studies. Your grades are getting poor, and you go farther away from your dream.

       Furthermore, we are still too young to have a mature mind. If he falls in love with other girls, you may be hurt deeply and have no energy to do anything.

       So take my words, and concentrate on your learning is what we should do in senior high school life.

                                                                    Yours, Adela

Dear Stella,

     About the problem you want to make a boyfriend, I suggest that you should concentrate on your studies instead of having a boyfriend. It’s an important period of your life now. Don’t let a passerby in your life disturb you. You would be tired to keep the relationship with him after few days of dating.

     Maybe he isn’t as perfect as you thought. You will treat him with all your heart but he might betray you with an affair. You will only feel negative emotions after he leaves you.

    In addition, to keep this intimate relationship costs lots of money and wastes much time. You don’t have the money nor the time to concentrate on what you should do.

     Consequently, I think you should take my advice, ”Just treat him as an opposite sex friend.” I hope you can think twice about it.

                                            Yours,

                                                   Joyce

    Dear Laura,

      I heard that you made a boyfriend recently. I am so surprised at this and want to give you some advice. You are a high school student, and the most important thing for you should be studying. You should concentrate on schoolwork and strive to get admission to a good university.

      Besides, both your physiology and mentality haven’t matured. Maybe it will be better for you to make some normal friends than a boyfriend.

      Think over these advice. I hope finally you can understand that being in love with someone isn’t an urgency in high school phase. There are more chances to meet different people in the future.

                                                       Yours truly,

                                                        Irene

Dear Janice:                                                   98/04/05

  Last night, I received your phone by accident. I’m sorry about that, but I want to tell you something.

I advise you that it’s not the perfect time to make a boyfriend. Because it wastes

too much time. You have to miss him any time, go out with him, and your heart will

be filled with him. Thus, you’ll not concentrate on your studies. And the Basic Competency Test is coming soon. You should cherish time and study.

Besides, it’s a huge and extra cost for a junior high school student like you. On his

Birthday or Valentine’s Day, you should buy a present. Then, you’ll go shopping or go

a movie with him.

The chance that you and your boyfriend enter the same senior high school is slim, and you’ll meet a better person you love in the future. So, why not prepare for the

Important exam and make plans for your life.

                                                                                                        Yours,

 Jenny   

Dear Joyce:                       2009/3/4

  When I heard that you want to make a boyfriend, I was shocked. Because I don't expect you to make a boyfriend.

  You may spend too much time on him. Think about where he is and what he is doing. And for a date you waste a lot of time to dress up yourself more beautifully. As a result, you can't concentrate on your study and get poor grades.

  You would feel sorrowful and happy by turns. For example, if he kisses you, you will feel very happy. But if he get closer to other people, that will make you jealous. These maybe cause you metal disorder and even you will take your anger out on your family or friends.

  I hope you can keep my words in your mind and think twice before you make the decision.            

                                             Yours,

                                             Stella

Dear Ada:

        I hear that you make a boyfriend. I disagree you fall in love during high school. It’s not a calm and smart choice.

        There are too less boys in high school, and your sight become narrow. After making some opposite sex friends, you will find friends can do most things which your boyfriend does. For example, listening to your worry, giving you some advice, playing or shopping together and then doing something crazy.

         Furthermore, you should learn to protect yourself before falling in love. You may not have enough knowledge about health education. Do you know what behavior could hurt you? Can you avoid all danger wherever you stay? Before you decide to make a boy friend please learn how to keep yourself from danger.

         Finally, I would like to say that you can make a boyfriend in the future. However, you’re a high school student now. You can study, play, make numerous friends, but when it comes to love, you should think twice when you act.

                                                      Yours Julia

Dear Linda,

    Yesterday, you told me you got a boyfriend and asked me for some advice. As your best friend, I don’t think it is a proper time to have a boyfriend at the age of 17. Do I sound like your mother? Let me tell you my reasons.

    First, schoolwork should be your priority. If you fall in love with someone, you’ll spend more stamina on clothes, dates, and some silly behaviors such as day dreaming about him. Don’t let the temporary passion obstruct you from your dream of being a legal medical expert.

    Moreover, I don’t want our friendship to become indifferent. We got along with each other less and less recently. I used to be comfortable with you, but now I feel embarrassed when being in front of you two.

    So, Linda, my friend, take my heartfelt advice. Let us focus on the things we are supposed to do. If he really loves you, he’ll wait for you and think for both of you.

                                                                                                      Yours,             

                                                                                                                            Serene

Dear Cindy,

I want to tell you my opinion after you told me that you had a boyfriend. I am astonished and think it is not a wise decision for you to make any boyfriends now.

      There are some reasons I want to advise you. First, it wastes too much time to get along with your boyfriend. At this moment, you should pay more attention to your study because the University Entrance Exam will come soon. You ought to know that time passes quickly; therefore you have to hold it tightly.

      Besides, we are just teenagers and don’t know what is the real meaning of love. Now what you have is only like a puppy love and may not last for a long time. I suggest you might make good use of your time on something beneficial to you.

      I believe you will distinguish what is good for you and might not make any wrong decision.

                                                                                                                                       Yours,

                                                                                                                                       Karine.

Dear Mike,

    I have thought about the question you asked me since you sent me the letter. I advise you that we shouldn’t fall in love during senior high school. If you can’t handle well, it will cause bad results.

    If you make a girlfriend, you can’t do the thing you want to do because you have to stay with her for all day. For example, you can’t play basketball and make other friends etc. Besides, when you break up with your girlfriend, it’s not only embarrassed but upset to meet her.

    I suggest that we don’t fall in love during senior high. It makes us lose money, time, friends and freedom. In the college, we can meet many people and have numerous opportunities to choose, so you have to be more patient.

                                                  Yours Joseph

Dear my friend:

        When I knew that you wanted to have a boyfriend, I was so shocked.  I disagree that you have a boyfriend in senior high school.

        First, your mental age isn’t mature, and the boys aren’t, either.  So. I think you can make some opposite sex friends instead of making a boyfriend.  Like me, one of my best friends is a boy.  We aren’t lovers, but we still have a good time.

        Second, once yor’re in love, your emotion will be affected easily.  If your boyfriend did something which made you sad, you’ll be too disappointed to concentration on tour tasks.

        I’m your friend so I tell you my views.  I hope you can think twice before you decide to fall in love with a boy.

                                           Love you mama

Dear Joyce,

  I was very astonished when I heard you want to make a boyfriend.  In fact, I disagree to make a boyfriend when we are a senior school student.

   Having a boyfriend maybe be very happy or sweet, but it often cause many problems.  For example, when you are in love with somebody, you will spend a lot of time together instead of studying or accompanying your family and other friends.  Besides, you may also spend plenty of money on dates and paying many phone bills.  Think about that, as a student, our money comes from our parents.  And if he continues spending the money, it will increase the financial pressure on his parents. 

  As teenagers, our mentality isn’t as mature as an adult, and we may act impulsively.  Why not wait until we go to college, and have more experiences treating people?  Until then our mentality will become more mature, the romance will be happier, sweeter and more harmonious.  I hope you can think twice before you decide. 

                                                                                           Yours,

                                                                                                     Ivy

Dear Betty                            

        A few days ago, you asked me if you could make a boyfriend at your age. I advise that you shouldn’t have an intimate relationship with an opposite sex during senior high school.

        Having a boyfriend would waste a lot of time and money. You have to spend much time dating with your boyfriend on weekends. The time which you could use to study or accompany your family will reduce. The cost of date also is an annoying problem because you only have a little pocket money.

        Besides, the efficiency of study will be worse. You will think of him all the time and you can’t concern about studying. As a result, your grades will become worse and worse.

        These are my genuine suggestions. I wish you can think twice before you make a boyfriend.

                                                                                         Yours

                                                                                                   Jamie
