Dear Editor,
I’m always negative around my parents after I found out that I was not sure if I was going to finish up college. I keep telling them I will not finish up college and this stresses out my parents as well as myself. I keep telling the people around me about it and it just makes things even worse. My parents lost their jobs and are jobless now, which adds more stress and also makes me long for a job to help. I do not want to disappoint my parents or let them down. I just realize life can be so complicated because I have no knowledge of anything and I make poor decisions in life. I sometimes wish there were someone out there who could listen and help me through tough times in life. I do not want to become a trashy (无用的）adult someday, so please help. It is difficult for me to know what is right or wrong, but I still have time to learn.
Yours

Peple are always excited whenever they hear the word “free，，. The reason behind this is that all prices in the market are rising and that it would be very lucky if the prices ever went down. One item that is included in the list of items that are being given away for free is free baby magazines.
There is no magazine stall (摊位）that doesn't sell baby magazines. In a typical setting, unlike fashion magazines, some baby magazines are never sold at a low price because of their content. The content of baby magazines is not just taken from anywhere； it7s the fruit of personal experiences of parents.
Free baby magazines are usually found in baby stores. They often immediately place a baby magazine in the bag of the bought items of their consumers. By the time they get home and have finished unpacking the stuff, they are able to read it.
Free baby magazines are popular, especially in Western countries ，mainly because of promotional reasons. It is either because people are promoting the magazine itself or because companies that sell baby items are promoting their products inside that magazine. Either way, they are still making money out of it even though they say that it is for free. Producers of baby items look on magazines as a positive way to encou
