時差N小時:高中女兒開始封閉自己
親愛的安妮：
My youngest daughter, "Eve," is 15 and recentlystarted her sophomore year in high school. She usedto be a vibrant, social girl who would spend dayshanging out with friends. She smiled and laughedoften.
我最小的女兒“伊芙”15歲了，最近她剛上高二。從前她是那種富有活力，喜歡整天與朋友們出去玩的社交女孩。她總是喜歡笑。
Recently, she has become reclusive. I rarely see hersmile or laugh. She comes home from school, does homework and spends the rest of the nightin her room staring at the ceiling. I'm very worried and don't know what to do. Eve won't talkto anyone in the family, and she has been turning down invitations to go out with her friends.Please help me.
近來，她變得封閉起來。我很少看見她笑。從學(xué)?；氐郊遥俗鲎鳂I(yè)便整晚盯著房間的天花板。我非常擔(dān)心，也不知道該怎么辦。伊芙甚至不與家里人談話，朋友邀請她出去玩也被她拒絕了。請幫幫我。
Dear Memphis:
親愛的孟菲斯：
There could be any number of things going on. Here are a few things to look for: Is Eve beingbullied or harassed at school by other students? By boys? By teachers? Is she struggling withacademics? Has she been rejected by a romantic interest? Might she be having a problem withher sexual identity? Is she taking drugs or using alcohol? Is she depressed?
可能發(fā)生了很多事情。以下是需要關(guān)注的一些事情：伊芙是不是在學(xué)校受欺負(fù)了或者被騷擾了?是男同學(xué)?還是老師?還是與學(xué)習(xí)成績有關(guān)?還是因?yàn)楸幌矚g的人拒絕了?也許她正在因自己的性別而感到煩惱?她是不是在嗑藥，酗酒?她患上憂郁癥了嗎?
First, Eve should have a thorough medical checkup because often the problem is physiological.If that isn't the case, open up a dialogue, calmly and lovingly, and listen with an open mind.You also should make an appointment with the school counselor.
首先，應(yīng)該帶伊芙進(jìn)行一次全面的體檢，這種情況往往是身體出了毛病。如果不是這方面的原因，冷靜而充滿關(guān)愛地與她談一次話，用心傾聽。另外，您還應(yīng)該安排與學(xué)校班主任見一面。
