3 Advising a Relative

You receive an email from your aunt who is concerned about your cousin.

Dear Alan,
I’m sorry to disturb you at this time when you’re preparing for your finals. I’m
worried about Ben who looks depressed most of the time. The two of you are
very close so please talk to him. I’m sure he’ll tell you the reasons for his present
behaviour. I suspect it is cyberbullying but he refuses to talk about it.

I’m sure he will open up to you.
Bye!

Subject : Ben and his Problem
Dear Aunt Clara,
Thank you for your faith in me.
I met up with Ben. He opened up in no time – a victim of cyberbullying. The fact that he talked
so openly means he needs support and help especially from his family. The problem is in the
early stage. So, nip it in the bud and help Ben get over it.
Talk to him gently. Don’t make him feel guilty. With encouragement, he can get his life back
on track.

Get back to me if you need further help. Bye.
Love,
Alan
