My problems started after I went to a boar ding school. I was only 14, and at first

I missed my family a lot. I often called them and cried on the phone. But after two

weeks, I found I enjoyed being with my classmates at school.

I had many friends who were boys. I thought of them as my best friends - but

only friends. I never guessed my friendships with boys would become a problem.

Then, three months later, my friends told me that some teachers and girls said I

was hanging out with boys all day long in order to get attention from them. Seven

months after that, the head teacher Mr. Wang asked the class to choose some students

to join the Student Union. I thought I could win for I was doing well in school. I'd

already won prizes for the best math and English exams. A week later, the list came

out and it didn't include me. I was sad.

Mr.

Wang came to me and said, “Don't be sad. I know you're excellent! Maybe

you're a little distant from the girls in our class. They don't know much about you, so

some of them didn't choose you. It doesn't matter. Do your best to get along well with

everyone and I think you'll make it next time.”
