Recently, several unhappy things happened to Gina. One afternoon she called a friend to talk about them. After hearing her words, the friend invited her to her home for tea and said, "All trouble will disappear after tasting tea. ”

Gina couldn't believe her, but she still decided to go for relaxation. At the friend's home, her friend took out a square box and said, “I asked someone to buy the tea from China. It's said that there are five tastes. ” Then, her friend opened the box slowly, took out a spoon of tea carefully, put it into a teapot（茶 壶）gingerly, and then poured in boiled（煮沸的）water softly.

Only one minute later, the friend poured out a cup of tea and asked Gina to taste it. Gina drank it but nearly puked（吐）it out. She shouted, "Is this tea? It tastes like medicine!"

The friend just smiled. She repoured boiled water into the teapot. After a minute, the friend poured out another cup and asked Gina to try the second one. Gina took a drink and found it was not as terrible as the first one but still bitter（苦的）. This time she didn't shout. When Gina drank the fifth cup, a sunny smile shone on her face.

Strawberries look nice, but a light pressure can make them out of shape. 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 mum 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（怀疑）his ability.

Students should do something to make themselves mentally（精神上）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 active part in sports and social activities. That can make you mentally strong. "

Growing up is not just a happy process（过程）. Pains also go along with it. The most important thing is to face the pains bravely and learn from them.
