17% keeping to themselvesThere are 17% who dont share their troubles at all. They either think that their troubles are none of others business or find it hard to communicate with others.

,

A sample From my point of view, students should share their troubles with their friends and schoolmates since they are of the same age and can understand each other well. Besides, they can also benefit from turning to their teachers and parents who should care for teenagers and help them in their life and studies. However, if one shuts himself away from others, he will find he has more and more troubles.

How to express your ideas or make your comments:I agree/disagree thatI think/dont think its proper toIn my opinion, From my point of view, So far as Im concerned,

HappinessHappiness means different things to different people. For example, some students believe that if they have a lot of money or large possessions, they will be happy. They believe that they will be able to do anything they want to if they have much money. Some students think that they should be in good health, and do whatever they like. Many students wish to have much wealth from their parents. In this way, they dont have to work hard, and they can own everything.

A sampleI dont quite agree with the above points. I dont think money means happiness. We cant buy everything with money, such as health, love and knowledge. I value knowledge, which makes me happy, for I can make great contributions to our society with knowledge. Although different people value happiness differently, my wealth of happiness is in my study.
