B Sammie Vance,14,knows there's nothing worse than feeling left out.For years,she's been helping kids who feel lonely make friends. What she was doing was running the Buddy Bench(伙伴长 椅 )program.She started it when she was in the third grade,in Fort Wayne,Indiana.The idea was that anyone at school who was feeling lonely could sit on the“buddy bench”.That let other kids know someone needed a friend. “It's really helpful to have other people be able to notice you,”Sammie says. The idea quickly caught on (流行起来).The bench brought kids together.Since then,Sammie has helped communities all over the country set up buddy benches.“It means a lot to me,”she says,and this is making a difference in people's lives."
