As a teenager, you’re trying to learn who you are. You’re going through mental and physical changes. You’re dealing with different kinds of stress and trying to succeed in school.
The good news is that though the teen years are tough, there are skills you can learn to make them a lot easier.
If you’re a teen and trying to manage your feelings better, here are a few skills for you to deal with your feelings.
Name the feeling.
What feeling are you experiencing? For example, are you sad, stressed. Angry, joyful or excited?
Accept what you’re feeling.
Many people worry that their feelings will increase. So they are not willing to accept them, hoping that they’ll just go away. However, that’s impossible. Remind yourself that it’s OK to feel your feelings.
Become familiar with your feelings.
To better understand your feelings, you should pay attention to your feelings all over the day. You may record how you’re feeling in the morning, afternoon and at night on a piece of paper. Next to your feeling, also write down where you notice it in your body.
Express your feelings.
Expressing a feeling is a good way to reduce it. For example, you can express your feelings by crying, exercising, writing about them or talking to someone you trust. Just be sure that whatever activity you choose, it doesn’t hurt you or anyone else.
At different times in your life, you’ll experience different difficulties. But by learning some helpful skills, you’ll be able to live a comfortable life.

Once,Liu Yanzhi went out onto the street in her wheelchair.Some people saw her and began to shout,"Look! That disabled girl wore make﹣up(化妆品)!""Yes, how strange!"
"Why can't a disabled girl wear make﹣up? Every flower has the right to show its beauty!" Liu decided to cheer up and have a wonderful life.

In 2012, Liu opened a beauty shop but failed.Her mother begged(乞求)her to give up,but she kept on.She traveled around to learn at different training meetings…
After a few years' hard work,Liu succeeded. She thought she could do more.In 2017,to help other disabled people,Liu started the Taihe Sunshine Disabled Association.Now,the 31﹣year﹣old woman owns a factory that produces make﹣up products of her own brand(品牌).

"Humans can develop certain abilities we aren't born with by practicing animals' movements," the traditional Chinese Wushu lovers believed in the past ﹣ and still do today.
Chinese Five﹣Animal Exercises, also known as Wuqinxi, are the first complete set of qigong exercises following the movements of animals:monkeys,deer(鹿),birds,bears and tigers.They were created by one of the greatest doctors in Chinese history, Hua Tuo, more than 1,800 years ago.
The Five﹣Animal Exercises are well﹣designed to help blood circulation(循环),and let the energy go smoothly in the body so as to improve the health.
"The bear movements are good for the stomach.The tiger movements can reduce the pain in the back.The deer movements help reduce the fat around the waist(腰).The bird movements can help keep our knees healthy and the monkey movements can be good for the heart."said Hua Yi,the 59th inheritor(继承人)of Wuqinxi.
For those new learners,the first few exercises might not go well.You may find it hard to focus(集中注意力).Wear comfortable clothes,keep peaceful in your mind,try to move slowly…Little by little,you'll feel more and more harmoniouswith nature.You may even feel you become a tiger or a deer,walking in the forest freely.
These exercises need no tools and they are easy to learn.You can search online for the videos and practice them at any time when you feel like relaxing your body and mind.Because it's fun to practice and good for health,Five﹣ Animal Exercises are becoming more and more popular in recent years,not only in China,but also in many other places of the world.

When Goldie Nejat began developing robots in 2005, she spent much of her time knocking on doors to let people know how her robots worked but few showed interest."But now,it's different,"says Nejat,"People calling from around the world ask when my robots are going to be ready."
Nejat's robots are designed to fill an increasing need: care﹣giving for the old. The population of the people over age 80 will be 426 million in 2050, three times larger than that now.
Such robots could be especially useful for patients with Alzheimer's disease(老年痴呆症).They can help with everyday activities from preparing food to reminding(提醒)the patients of taking their medicine.They can also play games with patients to keep them active.
Some have worried that care﹣giving robots might reduce( 减少)human interaction( 互动)and cause more humans to lose their jobs."But the aim is to support human care, not to take the place of it," says Brian Scassellati. He has tested robots with different patients, and found that daily interaction with robots can help children with autism spectrum disorder( 自闭症障碍) improve social skills.
As a field grows, scientists aim to understand human﹣robot relationships better.Do robots offer advantages because they don't have feelings and don't give opinions? Will patients lose interest?
"One thing is clear," Scassellati says,"Robots can provide care for the customers and the need for that will increase in the future."

People say laughter is the best medicine, but sometimes too much of a good thing may not be so good. What happened to me last night made me deeply understand the meaning of that.
Last night I was alone at home. When I was watching a funny movie, I suddenly started laughing and couldn't stop myself.
At first, I was feeling good.
But after about 5 minutes, I came to know I wasn't going to stop at all, I began to feel a little worried.
Time for bed. But I couldn't sleep because I kept laughing.So I got up and started doing some housework. I cleaned my apartment, laughing hard.I washed all the dishes left over from dinner,still laughing crazily. I tried to hold my cat in my arms, but it ran away from me in fear. I spent the rest of the night in front of my computer, of course, still laughing.
When time finally came to get ready for work, I realized that I simply couldn't go to the office like that. I decided to call my boss for leave, but laughing was the only thing I could do on the phone.
After listening to my"lovely" laughter for a few minutes, my boss couldn't help shouting angrily,"Are you mad? You're fired(解雇)!"
Suddenly I woke up. Thank God! I just had a dream.
