Dear Abby,
I’m a helpless mother. My son Tom is 15 years old. I find that the older he grows, the less we talk. I feel very sad and I really need help.
My first problem is about his hobbies. He spends almost all his spare time on computer games. When he gets home, he always turns on the computer and closes the door. I’m getting worried about him, especially when his English teacher tells me he always gets low marks in the English exams.
Recently, I’ve found that he is always alone. I’ve never seen him talking to his friends on the phone or going out with anyone on weekends. That is the last problem I have.
What should I do to help him? Please give me some advice. The helpless mother has problems.

The Earth is a planet and it goes around the Sun．Seven other planets also go around the Sun．None of them has an environment with air，so people and things cannot grow．The Sun and its planets are called the solar system．The solar system is a small part of our galaxy．
The stars we see at night are the suns in other solar systems．There are more than 200 billion stars in our galaxy，called the Milky Way，and our Sun is only one of them．
But scientists have discovered many other galaxies in the universe．They are a long way away and their light has travelled for many years to reach us．It is hard to understand how large the universe is．
Scientists have sent lots of spacecraft to look at other planets in our solar system，and some spacecraft have gong beyond the solar system．However，no one has discovered any life in space yet．
But why has no one from other planets sent us a message？Have they tried to send information to us？With so many stars in the universe，are we alone，or is there life out there in space？We don’t know．．．yet．The Sun is one of the Earth planets．
There is more than one galaxy in our solar system．
．There are more than 200 billion stars in the Milky Way．
．Scientists have found life on other planets．
They’ve received no messages from space．
