A new study finds that lots of kids hate school. Usually this kind of feeling doesn’t last long. But what happens if you feel this way too much? School is a fact of life. Getting a good education can help you build the kind of future life you want. So let’s talk about school and what to do when you don’t like it.

If you don’t like school, the first step is to find out why. You might not like school because you don’t have enough friends, or maybe you don’t get along with your teacher. Sometime it’s a big problem with your classes and schoolwork. You may be getting farther and farther behind, and it may seem like you’ll never catch up.

When you know why you don’t like school, you can start taking steps to make things better. It’s a good idea to talk to someone about your problems. Your mum, dad, teacher or school counselor（顾问）will be able to help you. Another good idea is to write down your feelings about school in a notebook. It’s a great way to let out emotions（情绪）. Remember you don’t have to share what you’ve written with others.

How much sleep do we need? We are all different. Some people need only three hours of sleep a night. Others need ten hours of sleep a night. Most Americans sleep for an average (平均值) of seven to eight hours a night. After the age of fifty the average sleeping time goes down to 6.5 hours a night.

Most people have a bad night when they cannot sleep. About one in three Americans has a problem with sleep. Many of these people can not fall asleep. This problem is called insomnia. This is not a new problem. Many famous people in history had insomnia. Some of these people had special ideas to make themselves fall asleep. Benjamin Franklin, the famous statesman (政治家) and inventor, had four beds. He moved from one to another to fall asleep. King Louis XIV of France had 413 beds and hoped that he could fall asleep in one of them. Mark Twain, the famous American writer, had a different way. He lay on his side on the end of the bed!
