Dear Pen Friend Sylvia
Thanks for your intersting letter. I see you have a very big problem. At your age it's normal that you feel behind in life and sad and alone. I also had that problem that I didn't have any real friends and I also felt alone. But then I visited a riding-club and I started horseriding there. And there are many nice people and there I also find real friends. If one of your hobbies is swimming or surfing, you can search some people who have these hobbies too. Maxbe these peoble will be real friends. I believe in you! You can do it! I wish you good luck.
I also have a very big problem and I hope you can help me to solve it. There is a school friend who makes bad jokes about me. I don't know if he is a real friend. I wanted to talk with my parents about this problem but they are only interested in my marks. My problems aren't important for them. Now I don't know what I should do. Can you help me? Is he my friend, if he tells bad jokes about me?
Please write back as soon as possible.
Yours, Elaisa XOX
