Dear Editor,
I am a Grade 9 student and I feel very pressured. My parents keep comparing me with my cousin who always gets top grades. They say I’m not working hard enough. I try my best, but I always feel I’m falling short. I am losing confidence and don’t know what to do. Can you give me some advice?
Yours,
A Discouraged Student
Dear Discouraged Student,
I understand your frustration. Many parents have high expectations, but they often fail to see the negative impact of constant comparisons. First, try to have an honest conversation with your parents. Tell them how their words make you feel and show them your own progress. Second, set personal goals that are realistic for you, not based on others’ achievements. Third, remember that everyone has different strengths. Focus on your own growth, not on beating someone else. Finally, if the pressure is too much, consider talking to a school counsellor. Your well-being is more important than any grade.
Yours,
Editor

Why We Sleep
Sleep is essential for our health, yet many people don’t get enough. During sleep, our bodies repair themselves and our brains process information from the day. Lack of sleep can lead to poor concentration, weak immune system, and even mood disorders.
Scientists recommend that teenagers get 8-10 hours of sleep per night. However, studies show that over 60% of teenagers get less than 7 hours. The main reasons include heavy homework, screen time, and social activities.
To improve sleep, experts suggest:
• Keep a regular sleep schedule, even on weekends.
• Avoid screens at least one hour before bedtime.
• Create a relaxing bedtime routine, like reading or taking a warm bath.
• Make sure your bedroom is dark, quiet, and cool.
Getting enough sleep is not a luxury; it’s a necessity. Prioritise your sleep and you’ll see improvements in every aspect of your life.

A. 6-7 hours. B. 8-10 hours. C. 10-12 hours. D. Less than 6 hours.

A. Eating too much. B. Heavy homework.
C. Lack of exercise. D. Watching TV in the morning.

How to Overcome Fear of Public Speaking
Public speaking is one of the most common fears. However, with practice and preparation, you can overcome it.
Prepare thoroughly. Know your material inside and out. Practice your speech until you feel confident. The more prepared you are, the less nervous you will be.
Practice deep breathing. Before you speak, take several deep breaths. This helps calm your nerves and reduce anxiety.
Focus on the message, not yourself. Remember that you are there to share valuable information. Instead of worrying about how you look, focus on helping your audience.
Start with a strong opening. A powerful first sentence can grab attention and build your confidence. It also helps you establish a connection with the audience.
Accept that mistakes happen. Even experienced speakers make errors. If you stumble, stay calm and continue. The audience usually won’t notice small mistakes.
Remember, fear is natural, but it doesn’t have to control you. With persistence, you can become a confident speaker.
