1．Unique and Weird New Year's Eve Traditions German
In some parts of Germany，they do lead （鉛）jye.aiing.Pour a dollop （團(tuán)）of lead into cold water and the shape it dorms may be telling you about the year to come.A heart shape，naturally，means love will come your way.A crown predicts wealth and fortune.A star indicates happiness.But if you see a cross，you're almost dead!
Latin America
If you are in Latin America，make sure you have some colourful underpants to ring in the New Year.End-of-the-year partiers put on colourful underwear to ensure certain types of outcomes of the following year，red for love and yellow for success.
Naples，Italy
Neapolitans like throwing things out of the windows，at least on New Year's Eve.Furniture，kitchen machines，grandma.Well，maybe not the last one.Let's hope not，anyway.This tradition is meant to symbolize an out-with-the-old gesture and get a new beginning of the new year.These days people are a bit more mindful of what they throw into the street below.
Spain
In 1909，winegrowers in the Alicante region of Spain had a brilliant idea：Start and promote an annual tradition that would involve people in having to buy and eat more grapes.Everyone must eat 12 grapes on New Year's Eve to pray for wealth of the coming year.Now，it's a popular custom in Spain.But the problem is that people have to eat a grape for each bell striking at midnight.

2．When I was 12 years old，I already knew that my teen years were going to be the worst years of my life.I was a total outsider，bullied（欺凌）at school.I felt completely alone in my small town.
