You’re growing up. That means you’re probably experiencing lots of changes, all at once. Your body is changing. It might even seem as if your entire self is changing. It can be confusing and even scary. 36 And it’s good!
Growing up means that you can do more, learn more, and start to make your mark on the world. In order for that to happen, your body produces chemicals called hormones that help both body and mind grow. Hormone levels change constantly, rising and falling. 37 But it’s partly to blame for intense emotions, surprising reactions, and mood swings.
Because of the way your brain develops, it is somewhat ruled by emotion now and through your teen years. As a result, growing up can seem like an emotional roller coaster! 38
●Take care of yourself. If you eat right, sleep enough, and get good exercise, your brain will be much more able to deal with the stress.
● 39 When you feel your moods swinging or you’re upset, or confused, some quiet time will allow you to gather your thoughts and get calmer.
●Practice relaxing your body and deep breathing when you wake up and when you go to bed. 40 Plus, when stuff happens during the day, you’ll be able to calm yourself quickly with a deep breath or two before you react. Your body is changing. A．Take a time-out.

C．Work out regularly to keep physically fit.

Chinese brush calligraphy or “shufa” in Chinese is one of 61 most important art forms in China. Many Asian cultures have originated their own calligraphy styles, but China’s is unequaled because of 62 (it) beauty, grace (优雅), and history.
