Now think about who you turn to for help when you face a problem.
Here maybe we have to overcome all the problems at school. Indeed they are difficult to deal with. Which is the most difficult to overcome depends on your experiences at school.
For all the students at school, most of us will turn to friends for help when they face problems. When they find it difficult to solve, they would like to ask the online forums for help. Then they may tell their teachers to do with. Their parents are likely to be the last persons they would like to ask for help. Only a few girl students prefer to keep things to themselves.
