Thank for your letter. I’m sorry
to hear about your problems and I hope my advice can help you to improve your
situation.
You mentioned that your parents
have strict regulation to your free time. There are things you can do to make
them understand you. You could try to talk to your parents how the stress makes
you uncomfortable and nervous. Also, you can express your feeling and wish that
you want to go out with your friends. Furthermore, they told you stop using
Facebook, you might suggest to them that open an account and try to use it.
Even you can add their Facebook to let them know Facebook isn’t ‘dangerous’.
You also said that you were being
overweight. Why don’t you plan a schedule of the diet every day to control your
energy intake? Also, remind yourself to eat more vegetables and suitable amount
of protein. Moreover, I understand when you are down, you will eat snacks to
express your feeling. However, it will make you become fat. You ought not to
eat too much snacks. It might be a good idea for you to develop an interest.
For example, learn to play an instrument or take some pictures to build
self-confidence and value. Therefore, you will not think about eating snacks is
the only way for you to feel happy. But be careful of the choice of your
interest, you should choose healthy interest instead of bad interests such as
smoking, taking drugs, etc.
Getting more exercise is good for
your health, you should try it. If you are really afraid of the participating
in competitions of team sports, you can try jogging. Doing more sports can
produce the chemicals which are called endorphins. It can help you to
feel happy. Also, try to talk to your parents you want to. If you don’t try,
you can never do what you want. Therefore, be brave and active. There is always
a way out.
I hope this advice is valuable.
You’re not alone. Let me know how things turn not.
With
best wishes,
Mr. Leung
