If you are feeling sad, you can make yourself feel better by doing a few simple things. You can take a walk (or get another form of exercise), you can talk to a friend, or you can write down your feelings. Writing down the good things in your life will help too.

• There are many ways to help make you feel better.

• Sometimes people feels sad.

• People are not always happy.

• People should do good things for other people.
