　　 Sometimes people give us nicknames in order to be mean or make fun of us, which can really hurt.

　　 Four Eyes. Metal Mouth. Dumbo. Slow Poke. Crater Face. We’ve all heard kids calling nasty nicknames like these. Maybe you’ve even used similar nicknames on other kids, or been stuck with one yourself.

　　 A playground bruise or cut usually disappears after a couple of days, but the pain and anger coming from being called a cruel nickname can last a lot longer than that. If you’ve ever picked on another kid by making up or using a tease nickname, or if you’ve ever been on the receiving end of one, you know that names like Fatso, Smelly, and Short Stuff can be very hurtful. Plus, they have a habit of sticking to us like glue!

　　 People use negative nicknames as a way of keeping someone out of a group, of gaining power over someone, or of making themselves feel more important. You may know a kid in your class who always comes up with nicknames for the other kids. This student likes to feel cool by acting like the official "nicknamer". This can give a student a feeling of power, but that power comes at the cost of making other kids feel bad. Kids who give others hurtful nicknames are often trying to cover up the fact that they really feel bad about themselves.

　　 Like other kinds of insults(污辱), a cruel nickname can be used to make a kid feel being left out or angry. Sometimes they’re even nastier than most ways of being mean, because they can be so hard to shake off.

Dear Ray,

　　 I got your information about stamp collecting when I was surfing the Internet yesterday. I’m very glad to know that you can spare some precious stamps for exchange or for sale, for I am a crazy stamp-collector and I like to collect foreign stamps very much. I wonder if you can give more details about them. At the same time, I have some traditional Chinese stamps that we can exchange with each other if possible. Besides, I want to talk about stamp collecting with foreigners. I wish you can help me. Looking forward to your reply! Best wishes!

Yours,

Chen Xin
