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.

Liu Yue, 13, is from Fujian. His mom 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 his ability.

Students should do something to make themselves mentally 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. Pains also go along with it. The most important thing is to face the pains bravely and learn from them.

A man in Germany may not have been in danger when he called the police on a baby squirrel running after him, but it all worked out for the best for the suspect (嫌疑犯) .

Emergency services center (应急服务中心)   in the city of Karistruhe got a call on Thursday from a man afraid that the tiny animal wouldn’t stop following him around, The Guardian reported. Police arrived at the scene, where the squirrel finally stopped running after him by lying down and going to sleep.

It turned out that the squirrel actually needed help, the police said. “It often happens that squirrels which have lost their mothers look for a replacement (替代品)   and then focus their efforts on one person, “ the police spokesman Christian Krez told The Guardian.

The squirrel, now named Karl-Friedrich, is in an animal center. Karlstruhe police posted an announcement on Facebook about the animal, including several lovely photos.

The baby squirrel chase (追逐) is the second squirrel event to make international headlines this summer. Last month, a London woman called the police after she heard loud noises in her home and thought a thief. The unwanted visitor turned out to be a baby squirrel, according to the police who came for help.

Although the government in the German case said the squirrel did need help, wildlife experts generally warn that before you suspect a squirrel is orphaned (孤儿的) , you should do your best to make sure the animal truly requires help.
