Dear Susan,

　　I made a friend in my new school, Bob. He's friendly and nice to me. But he always copies my homework. I don't know what to do. You know, I am not good at making friends. So I don't want to stop the friendship.
　　What's worse, I often fight with my parents these days. I didn't do well in my tests and they give me much pressure. They don't know how difficult it is to study in a new school.
Alan
