Dear Pet,
Without knowing more about you, it’s hard for me to give you some good advice.
But first, I am sure that you are 39  . You said that nobody would care if you left home. What about your   40  ?  And other family members? It seems that you are very 41  . You’d better go to a doctor or talk   42  your parents. They will be able to help you.
Second, I’m sure there’s someone else in your class who feels lonely,   43 . You never know   44 other people feel. Try to make friends with your classmates. And you could 45 a club to meet new people and make friends, too.
You 46  find happiness in yourself. So my  47  advice is to write a list of all the good things about yourself, learn to like yourself, and then  48  will see your confidence (信心)and like you, too.

And I don’t think you have the right to ask me to remove them，  8 you are my father!” said he．I    9   realized that we are now living in a society with more freedom，and that my son’s strong will on wearing giant pants was just an  10 of the generation gap(代溝) between us．Therefore，I gave in and now he is still wearing giant pants．
