Jessi remembers that when she and Joey first started staying home alone, they weren’t allowed to open the door for anyone or invite any friends to their home. Now Jessi’s allowed to invite over any friend that her mom knows well.
Every family has different home alone rules. Here are some common rules:
Don’t open the door for anyone except(除……之外) a brother, sister or parent.
Keep all doors locked(锁上的)，at all times.
Checking in
When you get home, call your parents to let them know that everything’s OK.
Only pick up the phone if it’s a parent, relative, or friend who your parents know.
If you answer the phone and the person asks for a parent, just say that he or she is busy and can’t come to the phone. Never tell a stranger on the phone that you’re home alone!
If you feel nervous about using appliances like the oven, you may have some snacks instead of cooking food yourself.
Visiting friends
Most children have a rule that no friends are allowed in the house when they’re home alone. This may be no fun but in the end, is safe for everyone.
Your parents may want you to stay at home and not go anywhere----not even a friend’s house, park, or store.
Many parents, including Jessi and Joey’s mom, ask their children to wait until a parent is home before going online.
These rules are very important. Follow them when you’re home alone.

I’m Bolivia Williams, a students at Bard College. I was the only person in my family who was Facebook friends with my mom, Rynn, when she died four years ago. At that time, my brother and sister were still young. As soon as we got the news that she died, I thought it would be an easy way to let everyone know what happened. Right after I posted the news, so many people offered their help and shared stories about her.
I like to visit my mom’s page to tell her things that I’m doing and I like to look at her pictures there. I sing with the Brooklyn Youth Chorus（合唱团），and we did a concert for the tenth anniversary （周年纪念日）of 9/11，which was also my mom’s birthday. It was an unforgettable day. I posted, “You will be proud（自豪）of me—I will sing at the site of the World Trade Center tomorrow. I know you will be looking down, smiling. ”When I’m writing to her, it feels like I’m still here.
In the beginning, I wasn’t sure how to face my mom’s death. But I’ve grown up now. I haven’t been on my mom’s page for a month, but I would miss it if it were gone. Her page allows me to think that she’s still here.
I used to go to my mom’s page to look at her pictures, which would make me feel really sad, Now, when I visit it, I smile more often than cry.
