INPUT ARTICLE: Article: By being willing to accept your fate, you make them more receptive to not punishing you as much next time, as well as maybe letting you off early this time. Your parent doesn't just want to make you unhappy by punishing you. He or she wants you to a learn that you are doing something wrong so that you don't make the same mistake next time. Your parent has experience you don't, so he is trying to help you avoid the consequences that could happen to you if act in that way as an adult. Once you show you understand why your parents are punishing you, they may be willing to let you off early. They may have been a little harsh in their punishment and may regret it later. If you are on your best behavior, they may let you off for good behavior. Show your parents that you are willing to work extra hard to please them and to do the right thing. Similarly, your parents will notice if you are working extra hard to be good. They'll appreciate you helping out around the house, which may make them more receptive to letting you off the hook. Additionally, the more you complain, the more your parents will know you hate the punishment, meaning it's the perfect punishment for them to choose the next time you get in trouble. Write a letter detailing how you will do better in the future, and behave in a way that clearly shows you are trying to do better. For instance, if you were grounded for getting in a fight with your sister, try being extra nice to her to show you understand the problem. For example, if you stayed out past curfew, you could write a letter that says the following: "Dear Mom and Dad, I realize now that I should have called when I was out so late. Staying out too late was bad enough, but then I made you worry by not letting you know where I was. I know you love me and want to keep me safe, and I really do appreciate how concerned you are about me. In the future, I'll try to be more considerate of your feelings in all situations, and let you know where I am no matter what. Love, Jessie" After accepting your punishment for at least several days (though a week is better for longer punishments), you can ask to be let off early from your punishment. If your parent has seen you've learned your lesson, they may relent and stop the punishment. Remember not to demand to be let off. You are making a request, which means your parents have the option to say no. Also, be specific. Say something like "Mom, can I talk to you? I know getting behind on my school work was wrong, and I have learned my lesson. I think you may have noticed that I've gotten all my homework done early this week, and I've abided by your punishment. Do you think you could please let me off a little early so I can see Julie this weekend? I have already done my homework for next week."

SUMMARY: Accept your punishment without complaint. Understand where your parent is coming from. Realize your parents are not perfect. Start your homework without being asked. Pick up extra chores. Show you have learned your lesson. Politely ask to be let off for good behavior.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Consider the reasons that you want to use a standing method to go to the bathroom. Are you nervous about germs that are in public restrooms? Do you fear picking up a disease? While these fears are common, there is very little chance that you will become ill from a public toilet. Try to find ways to address your anxiety. If you feel that your fears are interfering with your day to day life, ask your doctor for advice. He can provide you with tips on dealing with anxiety, and if necessary, can refer you to a mental health specialist. Take deep breaths. This will help your body and your mind relax. Before heading to work or to a social event, give yourself time to go to the bathroom at home. Build this activity into your schedule. For example, if you typically have a bowel movement early in the morning, try waking up a bit earlier or leaving for work a little later to allow enough time. Don't rush yourself out the door. If your bowel movements are unpredictable, talk to your doctor. Most people find themselves needing to poop on a fairly regular schedule. If you're having trouble predicting when you need to go, you might be suffering from irritable bowel syndrome or another ailment. Don't be afraid to talk to your doctor in detail about your bowel movement. The more descriptive you are, the more likely it is that he will be able to offer a diagnosis and a treatment.

SUMMARY: Consider anxiety. Avoid public restrooms. Talk to your doctor.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Rust is usually placed into one of three categories based on how serious it is, but penetrating rust is the worst. Check the rust spot for signs that it has created holes through the metal or that the metal has rusted all the way through. If it has, that metal can't be fixed; it must be replaced. Surface rust is light, and is the first sign of rusting. It is surface deep and usually forms in scratches or nicks in your paint. It will just look like a bit of rust on the metal. Scale rust is more serious, and it develops after surface rust is allowed to spread. It's the most serious rust you can address easily at home. It may include some paint bubbling or flaking of rusty metal. Penetrating rust develops after rust goes untreated for a long time. If there are holes in the metal or the rust goes all the way through, the only way to fix it is to cut the affected metal out and weld a new piece in its place. You will need to repaint the part of your car you remove the rust from, and that means needing to find an exact match for your vehicle's paint color. Most cars have labels on the body inside the driver's side door frame and occasionally under the hood that will list that "paint code" used by the manufacturer. Give that code to the clerk at the auto parts store to get a can of paint that matches it exactly. If you can't find the paint code on the body of the vehicle, you can often find it on the manufacturer's website or occasionally in the owner's manual. You'll need an automotive primer and paint matched to the vehicle's color by using the paint code. You will also need a can of automotive clear coat. You can get these paints in spray cans, though you can also get it for use in paint guns with air compressors if you have one. For most minor rust spots, spray cans of paint are sufficient, but if you need to repaint an entire door, hood, or trunk lid, you may want to use an air compressor or secure the help of a bodywork technician. Use car wash soap, water, and a sponge to scrub any dirt or debris away from the area the rust is to make sure you are able to clearly define what needs to be repaired. When you're done, rinse the area with clean water. You may want to wash the entire vehicle to look for any other rust spots while you're at it. Be careful scrubbing the rusty area, as metal flakes may poke into you as the rust comes up. You're going to be sanding and painting the area with the rust, so you'll need to cover anything you don't want covered in sand and then sprayed with paint. Use painter's tape to cover headlights, tail lights, windows, or anything else near the rust spot that you don't want to repaint. Painter's tape will come back off of the car without leaving any adhesive residue. To tape off large things like a windshield, you can use plastic (like garbage bags) that you secure in place with painter's tape.

SUMMARY:
Identify areas of surface and scale rust on the vehicle. Find the paint code for your vehicle. Purchase primer, base paint, and clear coat from the auto parts store. Wash the area around the rust spot. Tape off the body panel with the rust on it.
