In high school I even became the class president，but on the inside I still felt like a monster．All I really wanted was to look like everyone else．When things got really bad，I would cry to my mun and she would look at me with loving eyes and say，"Hold your head up high and face the world．Let them see the beauty that is inside instead of your appearance（外貌）．"

Lifestyle habits can be developed during our teenage years，so it is greatly important that young people are educated about what foods are good．In 2005，in order to change eating habits and open teenagers 'minds to new tastes，a cook named Jamie Oliver started a"Feed Me Better"project．He worked with teachers and cooks in a number of schools across the UK to provide more healthy school meals．Although some teenagers and parents refused to have a try at first，the project was generally a huge success．The newspapers wrote articles about him and a TV program showed his visits to the schools．
