原版挑战Talking through your problems

Yesterday, my 15-year-old brother Tommy had a fight with my 12- year-old broth er Kevin. I didn’t notice.

I knocked on the door and asked, “Kevin, do you want to (1) ?”Later, as I was walking upstairs I heard Kevin crying in his room.

No one (2) . I tried again. Still nothing happened.

So, I took some cards an d wrote, “If you don’t, we can write notes.”

An hour later I was still sitting on the floor outside his door with two pads of paper in my hands. One pad was new and the other was from Kevin. As I read one of Kevin’s notes, tears came to my eyes. It(3) , “Nobody in this family cares about me. Tommy thought I was too weak and Dad (4) me he wished he had the other Kevin as a kid because he’s better at basketball. You’re never around to even notice me.”

He was right about my part. I wrote back, “Kevin, I do love you an d you know that. I’m here for you and you are loved in this family.”

I wrote back “For what?” It returned to me with “Loving me” on it.He didn’t reply for a while, but then I heard he cried a little bit. Kevin ran out of cards and wrote “Thanks” on a p aper cup.

Since then, I try my best to pay more attention to my family members. Kevin and I have a closer relationship now and when one of us notices that the other is unhappy, we’ll smile and say, “Write it on a paper cup.”
