Ответ

1. Mia makes a rather mixed impression. She is intelligent and thoughtful, but at the same time she is a bit immature and impulsive. She also cares about other people’s feelings, though not always enough.
2. Mia got a boyfriend almost by accident: she wanted to have one because her friends had boyfriends and she did not want to feel left out. Yes, it is quite typical for teenagers to wish to have a girlfriend or a boyfriend because of peer pressure and the desire to be like others.
3. Mia felt unhappy and dissatisfied because her wish had come true, but the result was not what she expected. She found it difficult to tell Kenny the truth because she was afraid of hurting his feelings and did not know how to explain everything honestly.
4. Yes, teenagers often want to do or have something just because their friends do or have it. For example, they may buy the same clothes, listen to the same music, or join the same clubs only to fit in.
5. Typical teen behaviour includes being emotional, independent, curious, and sometimes stubborn. They had better avoid selfishness, dishonesty, and doing things only to impress others.
6. To say that you are the luckiest boy or girl in the world, you need to have loving family and friends, good health, and someone who truly understands and supports you.

Mia means that sometimes we wish for something without thinking carefully, and when it finally happens, it may bring problems instead of happiness. Yes, such situations can happen in real life when a wish comes true, but the result is not as pleasant as expected.
