Hi Irene,
I’m a 17-year-old high school girl. Recently, my best friend since fifth grade has stopped
talking to me. We never had a fight and I never thought anything was wrong. Just this week, she
and another friend of mine sent me unkind text messages. When I questioned them, they said they
第 2 页
felt we had been growing apart (分离).
I do not want to go back to these girls since they treated me so badly, but it’s hard to have no
friends to hang out with. My other best friend moved to Shanghai last year and while we talk
twice a week at least, it’s still not the same.
I want to make new friends, but everyone has already grouped together. Joining clubs or
activities is extremely difficult here, because we live in a rural community (乡村社区) with
limited resources. The only groups for teenagers are church groups, but I’m not religious ( 笃信
宗教的).
I’m afraid of having no friends for the rest of my life in high school. Any advice on how to
move on from the hurt, and find new friends and a new life?
Yours sincerely,
Susie
Hi Susie,
Your friends have turned on you. I understand how upsetting this can be.
Perhaps, your another friend was jealous of your relationship with your best friend and
caused her to act this way. In any event, this was a very rude way to end a friendship. I agree that
you don’t have to go back to either one of these “friends” unless they apologize to you.
Admittedly, it can be difficult to make new friends in a short time — but it’s not impossible.
Keep in mind that you’ll be graduating soon and you’ll make new friends again. In the meantime,
don’t spend too much time thinking about this situation. You may be feeling lonely now but that
doesn’t mean you’ll be lonely for the rest of your
life. Keep up with your studies, try to develop other friendships — even if they aren’t close ones,
and stay in touch with your friend in Shanghai.
Living in a small community can limit chances of making friends. Can you join a gym? Can
you take an adult education class? Volunteer at a hospital in your community? Perhaps, you’ll be
able to make an older friend.
It’s common that there are peaks and valleys in people’s social lives so while you have some
spare time now, you may take up a hobby or interest on your own. Try to be patient and continue
to trust your instincts (直觉). Hope this helps.
Best wishes,
Irene

Around the world, people know Superman and Batman from comic books and movies. Few
know about the men who created them. Marc Tyler Nobleman hoped to change this.
Growing up in Connecticut, Nobleman loved superheroes and comic books. He often dressed
as Superman for Halloween. He liked cartooning, too. His mother noticed that he had a way with
words, and encouraged him to write. “She was right,” Nobleman said. He considers writing his
passion (酷爱的事物), although he still enjoys drawing. He has published a number of nonfiction
books about animals, history and natural disasters.
Nobleman has written two books about creators of popular comic books. One is a
biography, called Boys of Steel, about Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. They created Superman in the
1930s, with Siegel doing the writing and Shuster the art. Bill the Boy Wonder: The Secret
Co-creator of Batman is about Bill Finger. He wrote the first Batman story, in 1939, and many
others that followed. Finger also came up with Batman's identity as wealthy Bruce Wayne and key
