Last week our teacher asked us to fill in a questionnaire. One of the questions are：Who will you go in times of trouble?
Here are the results. Many students say they will talk to their friend or classmates because they're of the same age and can
understand each other. Some will turn out to their parents or teachers for help. Only a little choose to deal with the problems
on our own. Their answers also show that they dislike talk to others. They kept very much to themselves. In my opinion,
where in trouble, we should seek help from those we trust mostly.
