Basically, ZeFrank's video is about the unmatured brains teenagers have and what should the adults do to help the teenagers. Teenagers have really active brains so they always do something stupid. When this situation is happening, the adults should not tell them to do things but help them go through the challenges. "Emotional Intelligence 2.0" by Travis Bradberry and Jean Greaves can help the teenagers to develop the skill of self-control through self-management and self-awareness. So teenagers are always more mature after developing their EQs.

From the beginning to the end, the focus of this story is those 3 girls. They are looking special and attracted Sammy's attention.

My mom was talking to Ms.Wei about a stupid thing that I had done: I gave my mom's wedding ring to a girl. I hung my head down, and looked like an innocent. " Its ok, kids are just like that, you know when I was young, I was naughty either." They were laughing, look like they were having fun of it. However, I did not think it was funny, it was romantic and immature love.
My elementary school was located Nan Chang, China, it is not a big city but the life I had there was unforgettable. My family was poor, so we were live in a small apartment, and I was the only child that my parents had. Therefore, my mother did not let me go to school when I was 6, she thought some big guys would bully me , so I went to school when I was almost 7.
As my elementary school life began, there were some new words started come into my head. "Like" and "Love", these two words attracted me into a amazing world which I had never been.
A girl appeared into my head when I was thinking those two words. She had a long black hair, black pretty eyes, and she always had a smile on her face, looked shiny and friendly. She was very good at english, but not good at math. The lucky thing is that I was exactly the best math learner in the class! I helped her on math, and she helped me on English, so we became the best friends.
" Why are you always laughing? What is funny?" I asked.
"haha, I am laughing because I am always happy." She laughed again.
I did not know why, I just felt like in real, she was not that happy than she showed to me.
"You are lying."
"What are you talking about?"
"I do not know, I just feel you are not that happy."
She silenced and turned her back to me.
"You can tell me anytime you want, we are friends, I would like to tell you when I am not happy rather than hiding it in my heart. Right? We are friends."
Suddenly, she turned her body and hugged me. Her head is buried on my chest, I could feel her tears were falling on my shirt.
"Thank you." She whispered, and I felt there was a cold humid mouth hit my face before she ran away. I stood there for a while, and walked back to home.
Our relationship did not get any change after that kiss, I did not even know what was that means, because I was not mature enough. However, her birthday was coming soon, I was thinking what gift should I give to her. At that time, I saw my mom's ring,
"Mom, is that a fake ring? It is not real, right?"
"It is not real diamond ring, you can play with it." She was cooking at kitchen, and gave me a quick response.
"Thank you mom." I put the little ring into my pocket, and my heart was jumping agitato.
After had lunch, I went back to school, and looked around. "Here she is!" I found her very quickly. She was seating on her chair and reading a romantic book.
"Hey, I got a gift for you, happy birthday!" I took out the ring, and quickly put it on her hand.
"Thank you." Her face was turning red and her voice was very low. I knew that means she likes it.
After school, I went back to home, and saw my mom was taking everything from her drawers. "What happened mom?" I walked toward her. She told me she was looking for her wedding ring. Now I understood the ring was very important to her, I was afraid, but I still told her what happened, and who did I give it to. She found teacher, and asked the girl, then got the ring back.
