My heart aches! Tears that melt the heart. The greatest sorrow of all: death. My heart feels like it's bursting! Laughter that moves the heart. Sadness doesn't just disappear with time. Staying busy won't make you forget it either. You might forget about it for a while, but it can resurface at any moment. If you can't avoid sadness, accept it as it is. Then express your sad feelings honestly. It's okay to talk to your parents, your teacher, or a close friend. If you honestly share what's troubling you, they're sure to offer helpful words. Does it hurt because of a friend? Try telling your friend something like this: "When you do such-and-such, it hurts my feelings. I'd really appreciate it if you didn't do that." Saying it this way lets you fully express your feelings without hurting your friend's feelings. And if you still feel troubled after that? Then go ahead and have a good cry. You'll feel much lighter afterward. — From the text How to wash your hair quickly: 1. Wet your hair, then apply shampoo. 2. Spread the shampoo evenly and work up a lather. 3.
