　　“I hate school, and I’m not going back!”Have you ever had that thought?

　　Lots of kids have had．Usually this feeling doesn’t last long．But what if you feel this way too much?

　　If you are stressed out, you might have a hard time making decision．In the morning, you can’t decide what to eat, what to wear, or what to take for lunch．

　　Sometimes it’s a problem with your classes and schoolwork．Maybe the work is too easy and you get bored．Or maybe the work is too hard, or you don’t feel as clever as the other kids．Reading may be difficult for you, but you are asked to do a lot of it．

　　You may be getting farther and farther behind, and it may seem that you will never catch up with others．

　　When you know why you don’t like school, you can start taking steps to make things better．It’s a good idea to talk to someone about your problems at school．Your mom, dad, friends, teachers, or even classmates will be able to help you．

　　Another good idea is to write down your feeling about school．For instance, keep a diary or just write in a notebook．It’s a great way to let out emotion that may be stuck inside you．And you don’t have to share(分享)what you have written with others．

　　The next time you find yourself disliking school, this will also help you：

　　Make a list of everything you dislike or enjoy－even there is only one thing．See what you can change on“don’t like”list．Could you find a way to show off your special interests and talents on what you like? Which activities could you try that would help you solve these“don’t like”problems? Focus on what you can change and you might be able to put the good feeling back in school!
