My name is Bob. I am 16 years old now. I've felt lonely since I was 9. I didn't like my classmates， my parents or anyone else. My classmates didn't want to talk with me and my parents were always saying that other kids were better than me. I thought I was the most unlucky person in the world
One day I had a big fight with one of my classmates. I was so angry that I hit him on the face. Just at that moment， a boy stood up and stopped the fight. He was the monitor of our class.
After that，he often helped me and we became good friends. Whenever I got angry or sad，he would help me to cool down. My life began to change because of the boy， my best friend. We spent a lot of interesting days together. As time goes by，I have become happier with people and things. And it seems that people around me have changed， too. My parents don't shout at me any more and my classmates become friendly to me
