Dear Editor,
I am a Senior Three student. Recently we have made a survey-- "To whom do you go when in trouble?" Here are the results. Most of the students will go to their classmates or friends when in trouble because they're almost the same age, they can talk with, communicate with and understand each other easily. Some students will tell their teachers or parents about their troubles as they have rich experiences and love them very much. The teachers and parents can be trusted by them. Only a few students solve their problems all by themselves. They hate to talk with others and can't get on well with other people, either. They have few friends.
in my opinion, when in trouble we'd better ask our teachers parents, friends or classmates for help.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming
