Adolescence is a golden stage of personal development, but mental health at this time is easily affected by external factors. Parents have a strong influence on adolescents' mental health as direct participants in their development. This study highlights the importance of parental involvement and attention in protecting and improving adolescent mental health during this critical stage of adolescent development. This article comprehensively studies and analyses the impact of parental neglect on adolescents' mental health. Parental neglect can be categorized into aspects such as emotional neglect and maternal neglect. By enumerating, analysing, and discussing scholars' related views on this topic, this paper finds that parental neglect has an impact on both the psychological and cognitive health development of adolescents. The impacts are mainly focused on insecurity, trust issues, and depression. Based on these conclusions, this paper finds that scholars' solutions focus on family companionship, school communication, and active psychological intervention.

The concept of and continuity of personal identity has long fascinated philosophers, psychologists, and individuals alike. This essay explores the continuity of the self from childhood onwards, examining how fundamental characteristics, memories, and experiences contribute to the persistence of personal identity through the dualist theory of the mind and body. In this view, a person is the same person as an earlier person if they have the same form as the earlier person and have continuity of matter with them. This essay will assert that human essence, through Olson’s animalism, remains the same and that the enduring connections formed through memories, values, and self-perception, however unreliable, may contribute to a sense of sameness, with the final determination of sameness belonging to the person whose personhood is put to question.

Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a behavior in which a person purposefully injures himself or herself without suicidal intent. NSSI is most common in teens and young adults and has been linked to a number of mental diseases. The risk of future suicide is increased among people who participate in repetitive self-harming practices. Medication and psychotherapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, are treatment possibilities. The study conducted a literature review to better understand NSSI among adolescents aged 10 to 29 years. NSSI is motivated both inside and externally. Interventions of NSSI include immediate medical attention for persons suffering from mental illnesses and self-harm. Psychological therapies aim to improve coping skills and emotional regulation. Support and early intervention should be provided by parents, teachers, and healthcare experts.

The impact of non-traditional gender role parenting on the LGBTQ+ community in the Chengdu area, especially in an urban environment like Chengdu, which is known for its openness and multiculturalism is worthy of academic attention. The study was conducted primarily through both quantitative and qualitative methods: online surveys and census data were used for quantitative analysis, while in-depth interviews and focus group discussions were used for qualitative analysis. This study proposes four main hypotheses: 1) there are more parents with non-traditional gender roles relative to traditional gender roles in Chengdu; 2) children from families with non-traditional gender roles are more likely to be open about their sexual minority identities; 3) non-traditional gender role family environments may be more encouraging of children's exploration and acceptance of gender perceptions of their sexual orientations; and 4) Chengdu's social and cultural environments, specifically perceptions related to gender roles, are associated with the flourishing of the LGBTQ+ community in the city. Preliminary results show that the relative activity and openness of the LGBTQ+ community in Chengdu is significantly higher than in other regions, which is related to the higher proportion of non-traditional gender role households in Chengdu. This study emphasizes that although sexual orientation is considered an intrinsic and inherent characteristic, family environment and socio-cultural factors also play an important role, especially in a more diverse and open urban context such as Chengdu. This provides a valuable perspective for further research on the cultural and social acceptance of sexual minorities within China.

This paper explores the significant impact of teacher-student relationships on students' mental health, emphasizing the need for proactive measures in educational institutions. The intricate dynamics of these relationships influence students' self-concept, academic performance, and emotional well-being. Various challenges faced by students' mental health, including stress, depression, perfectionism, and the influence of social media, are discussed. The paper categorizes teacher-student relationships into oppositional, dependent, laissez-faire, and democratic patterns, highlighting the importance of fostering democratic relationships characterized by mutual respect and collaboration. Positive teacher-student relationships enhance students' self-concept, academic adaptability, and emotional engagement, while negative relationships can lead to emotional distress. The paper suggests fostering open communication, training teachers in empathic communication and emotional intelligence, and integrating Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) programs. It emphasizes creating a sense of belonging in the classroom and investing in accessible mental health resources. These strategies aim to create an environment where teacher-student relationships contribute to student's holistic development and well-being.

The Second Language Motivational Self-System (L2 MSS) is the motivation model elaborated in this article. The aim of this article is to review the model, present a summary of research, that empirically analyses the model and its key features, and suggest future research options. In the article, the issue with the model will be addressed one by one. Then, theoretical descriptions of the model will be presented, followed by its empirical investigations and criticism. Theoretical elaboration of the model is based on Gardner’s model of motivation, Markus and Nurius’ ‘possible selves’ and Higgins’ self-discrepancy theory. Numerous empirical studies examining the model in various contexts around the world found that the ideal L2 self, which associates integrativeness motives and the internalised instrumental, is the strongest component of the model, and the ought-to L2 self, which is relatively less internalised or motivating. The model has been modified to take learning experiences into account. However, unbalanced attention is given to the L2MSS’s constituent parts.

As English has become a compulsory course for all of the students in China, that is to say, English is becoming more and more important in China. However, due to a lack of English environment, a large proportion of students have foreign language anxiety especially speaking anxiety. Therefore, this study focuses on foreign language speaking anxiety among college students to figure out the causes, and consequences of it and further explore some effective strategies to solve these problems. The data all come from literature from previous studies. After composing and analyzing those data, it can be concluded that there are three causes: fear of committing grammatical errors, low English proficiency and fear of receiving a negative evaluation, and three consequences: onset of physical symptoms, resistance to speaking English and less self-confidence among Chinese college students. Furthermore, some strategies can be applied to solve it from the perspective of instructors and students respectively.

Motivation, as an important factor of individual differences in second language acquisition, has been widely discussed by teaching researchers. At present, many studies have discussed how to continuously stimulate learning motivation. Games have been proven to have a positive effect on learning. The application of game-based learning as an emerging teaching method in the field of education has also expanded significantly. Therefore, this study aims to review the research on the relationship and application of motivation and Game-based Learning (GBL) in second language (L2) acquisition. It is found that the impact of GBL can be positive in the motivation of L2 learners through an immersive learning environment, game experience and reward mechanism, competition and cooperation mechanism, and has achieved positive results in student learning. The research shows the potential for using digital games to teach a second-language., and looks forward to the application of the combination of gameplay and learning theory in the future teaching field.

In this era, the number of teenagers still accounts for a large part of the population, and the development of the country is inseparable from the development and future of adolescents. The research topic is a study on the influence of the anti-addiction system on adolescent media use habits. The thesis will revolve around three questions, namely: 1. Why are teenagers so obsessed with the web? 2. Does the adolescent have the ability to judge whether the media is good or bad? 3. The effect of the anti-addiction system on adolescent media use behavior; The author will analyze the reasons behind the investigation and the corresponding countermeasures based on existing literature. The general conclusion is that the use of electronic devices has a great impact on most adolescents without self-control, and the anti-addiction system ensures the uniformity of the use time of adolescents to reduce the degree of obsession with electronic devices and better helps minors return to normal life and enter life, but there is no lack of using parental identity for authentication and continuing to be addicted to video games, which does not allow students to end the status quo of "delaying their studies because of games."
