Nowadays, there are many young people who are just like strawberries. They easily break down when they face difficulties. They don't know what to do when they are in trouble. They have a common name strawberry kids. Why are many students so easy to break down? Parents and schools are a main reason. Parents do almost everything for them in their daily life, while schools care more about their grades instead of developing their personality (个性). Liu Yue, 13, is from Fujian. His mom hardly criticizes (批评) him and he always feels good about himself. When a teacher criticized him strictly, he felt surprised and sad. He began to doubt his ability. Students should do something to make themselves mentally strong. An expert said, “When you are in trouble, don’t ask for help too quickly. You should try to deal with problems first by yourself. I also advise you to take an activity. That can make you mentally strong.” Growing up is not just a happy process (过程). Pains also go along with it.

They shared the same clothes and tied their hair in the same manner. In fact, it was hard for their classmates and teachers to tell them apart sometimes. Unlike their classmates, they had to get up early at seven every Saturday to prepare for their lessons. Lily had to attend the art lesson and Lucy had to attend her ballet lesson. "How I wish I could do something different today," said the twins with one voice. All at once, an idea came to Lily and Lucy at the same time. "Do you have the same idea as me?" they asked each other and laughed. It seemed like a wonderful plan to them. After giving each other a description of their own friends, Lily put on Lucy's ballet dress while Lucy put Lily's brushes and paints into her bag. Then they left for their classes. When the art lesson started, Lucy couldn't understand the art teacher. Unlike Lily, Lucy was poor at drawing. When the art lesson finally ended, Lucy didn't dare to hand in her work.

Their ballet teacher became impatient with her, "Lucy, you should remember the basic steps. You can't depend on copying what others are doing." When Lily and Lucy arrived home, they were tired out.
