First of all, you’d better try to find an adult you can trust to talk to.

It sometimes seems like everyone else in the world is happy and you are the only one who is miserable. You will be surprised to learn that you are completely normal. I hope this helps and the next day will be better.

Why Do People Play Football
人们为什么踢足球
情景内容
Why do people play football? It’s a stupid game and dangerous, too. Twenty-two men fight for about two hours to kick a ball into a net. They get more black eyes than goals. Sometimes they even break their bones. Football players must be mad. And why do people watch football matches? They must be mad, too. They certainly shout and scream like madmen. In fact I’m afraid to go out when there is a football match. The crowds are so dangerous. I’d rather stay at home and watch TV. But what happens when I switch it on? They’re showing a football match. So I turn on the radio. What do I hear? The latest football scores. And what do I see when I open a newspaper? Photos of football players. Oh, I’m afraid I may be mad about it some day.
范文
As a middle school student, I have no much time to spend playing football. However, I watch a football match on TV whenever possible. I like it not only because it’s an exciting game, but also because it is brave and be full of confidence, courage and perseverance. You need to learn to work together with others perfectly. The sport of football can show a spirit as well as strengthen your body. When you are tired after a long time of study. Just watch a football match, which can give your brain a good rest.
Over all, I like the sport of football. It’s a game full of challenge.
