Summarize the following:
Oftentimes, asking your parents directly can be stressful. If your parents are often argumentative and shut down discussion, try writing a letter. You can state your case, explaining why you want a PlayStation. You should also state why you think you're responsible enough to have a game console. Start the letter by directly stating what you want. Open with something like, "Dear Mom and Dad, I would really like a PlayStation for the living room." Proceed to explain why. It can be something like, "I work really hard at school and do a lot of extracurriculars. At the end of the day, after finishing my homework, I would like to have something I can use to relax." Do you have anything else that can help you make your case? For example, maybe you have some money saved up. You can say something like, "I have saved up almost $100 from my birthday money and my allowance. I would be more than willing to put this money towards a PlayStation." You should also think of any potential responses your parents may come up with and think of a counterargument. For example, maybe your mother is the type to worry about you wasting your time with video games. Write something like, "I know you probably worry about me spending all my time playing video games. If you allowed me to get a PlayStation, I would be happy to have you and Dad decide how long I can use it each day." End the letter respectfully. Thank your parents for taking the time to read it and ask them to get back to you. For example, "I hope you'll take this all into consideration. Thank you for reading this letter. Let me know what you think. Love, Tara." Use holidays and your birthday to ask for a PlayStation. Your parents may be more willing to indulge you on a special occasion. Your parents will be buying you gifts during these times, so tell them all you want is a PlayStation console. If they express concern, you can promise to use it responsibly and allow them to veto any games they feel are violent or inappropriate. Many games are designed for adults. A lot of grownups enjoy game consoles as much as their children do. Multiplayer, strategy and puzzle games can all be fun for adults to play. Mention these games during dinner. Say something like, "Did you know Aiden's dad plays video games? I thought it was kind of weird, but I guess PlayStation has a lot of games for adults." Show them titles geared for adults such as Assassin's Creed IV, Journey, Grand Theft Auto V, and The Last of Us. Ask adult relatives like older cousins or aunts and uncles to tell your parents they play video games. PlayStations can also be used to surf the web; point out the advantages of having a web browser on your TV. For example, say something like, "Wouldn't it be fun to watch all those YouTube videos you like on the big TV in the living room?" Were there any video games your parents liked to play at your age? See if they have newer version for a PlayStation. Your parents may be excited at the prospect of playing old video games from their childhood again. Many older game franchises, like Mario, remain popular today.

summary: Make your case in a letter. Put a PlayStation on your wish list. Make your parents want to use the PlayStation as well.

Apply a strong antiperspirant to your armpits before leaving the house in the morning. This suggestion may seem obvious, but the fact is that most body odor problems originate in the underarm region. Try to get in the habit of using antiperspirant every day to safeguard yourself from surprise bursts of B.O. Antiperspirant and deodorant are not the same thing. Deodorants help combat underarm odor but don't protect as well against sweat, which is the leading cause of body odor. Clinical strength deodorants are also an option that can help keep persistent odor under control. Reapply antiperspirant throughout the day as needed to stay one step ahead of frightful fragrances. Bad breath is a prime contributor to overall body odor. For this reason, it's important to brush your teeth at least once a day (twice is preferred), and also get on a consistent regimen of flossing and using antiseptic mouthwash. The cleaner your mouth is, the less you'll have to worry about scaring others away when you get up close and personal. Brush for around two minutes, hitting all of the teeth's major surfaces and the top of the tongue. In addition to regular brushing, you should schedule an appointment twice a year to have your teeth cleaned by a dentist. Do a load of laundry a minimum of once a week, or more if you're physically active or have a downsized wardrobe. In most cases, it's best not to wear the same item of clothing more than one day in a row. Because your clothing soaks up all the odor-causing substances that your body puts off, they can quickly grow rank. Undergarments like bras, socks and underwear need more frequent attention because they're worn directly against pungent problem areas. Add a scoop of baking soda to the washing machine for extra stench and stain-fighting power. As the old saying goes, you are what you eat. Choose foods that are rich in fiber and essential vitamins and minerals. Avoid excess sweets and oily or aromatic foodssuch as garlic, onions and curryas these contain chemical compounds that are the perfect recipe for stinky sweat. Dietary fiber aids digestion and helps prevent and eliminate foul-smelling waste. Be sure that you're properly hydrated, as well. Water plays an important role in regulating healthy bodily functions.

summary: Wear an antiperspirant. Practice good oral hygiene. Wash your clothes frequently. Change your diet.

The most important, yet most frequently overlooked element in the unemployment process is reading the information guide provided by your state's unemployment insurance agency. If you haven't received this information in the mail, contact the nearest unemployment insurance agency office. Anytime you file a report with the unemployment insurance agency, be sure to be as accurate and honest as possible. Doing so will help your claim avoid looking suspicious and will speed the time it takes for your claim to be processed and approved. It's a good idea to keep detailed and consistent records of all your interactions with former employers and the unemployment insurance agency. This way, if there's ever any discrepancy or controversy surrounding your claim to unemployment benefits, you can set the record straight. When maintaining records, be sure to note the following: The names of people you talked with from the unemployment agency or at your former employer. The dates on which interactions occurred, and the content of these interactions. Note the channel of communication (i.e., telephone, email, letter, etc.). Keep copies of all relevant written correspondence, whether hardcopy or digital. Always remember that there is currently no way to file for unemployment benefits other than to do it for yourself using official government forms, paperwork, and websites. Anything outside these channels is most likely a scam and should be avoided.
summary: Read the relevant information. Be honest. Keep good records. Use the correct filing methods.
