﻿Vicky: 
I’m Vicky. I feel terrible. You see my parents don’t let me go out with my friends.
They all go to the cinema or to the bowling alley on Saturdays and they have fun. 
I always stay in and I fight with mum and dad. They can’t understand how bad I feel. 
It’s not fair at all! They say it’s dangerous. What are they so afraid of? 
I think I’ll lose my friends. Why am I so different? 
How can I make my parents change their mind? 

George: 
My name is George. You know, I don’t really like school and my marks are low. 
My dad is very angry with me. He says I’m lazy and I don’t understand how hard he works every 
day for us. 
He might be right but I hate studying. I want to become a footballer when I grow up. 
Is that so bad? 
What should I tell him? 

Ann: 
I’m Ann. I’m new at this school. My problem is that I don’t have any friends. 
All my classmates are friendly with me but I don’t have any close friends. 
Sometimes I feel very lonely, especially in the breaks or when we go on a school trip. 
It’s my fault, I know, but I’m shy and I don’t make friends easily. Mum thinks I’m happy in my 
new school but I’m not. 
Can you help me?
