Problem: Article: Make it half the height and half the width of the iris. Don't draw the sections that overlap with the circles you drew inside of the iris. Shade in the pupil as dark as you can using your pencil, a pen, or a marker.
Summary: Sketch a circle in the center of the iris for the pupil and shade it in.

Problem: Article: Popularity is not some elusive, impossible goal that only the "cool kids" can attain. Being popular is just about having friends and acquaintances, and all this really requires is a kind heart and open mind. Say hello to your classmates, and ask people how they're doing if they feel down. Never reject a potential friendship based on someone's outward appearances or hobbies, as you'll find that most people are friendly if you give them the chance. That said, you should accept that not everyone will be your friend. This isn't your fault, it is their decision. Simply move on, continuing to be polite and friendly, and know that there are many, many more people in the world. You don't need to be super skinny in order to be healthy. Regular exercise is proven to enhance your concentration, well-being, and happiness, and you don't have to do grueling solitary runs to get the benefit. Go for a swim, ride your bike, play a sport, or take a few hikes. You can even adapt many of your hobbies into "exercises," such as taking photography walks or listening to a new album every time you hit the gym. In general, you should aim for 30 minutes of exercise a day. Grabbing an exercise buddy makes exercise more enjoyable, and it is easier to stick to your schedule. A healthy diet promotes a healthy head of hair, nails, skin, muscles, and mind. Teenagers have fast metabolisms that allow them to eat almost anything without major weight shifts, but a healthy diet will give you greater energy, focus, and general well-being no matter what age you are. Of course, the occasional treat is acceptable, but you'll be surprised how much better you feel on a better diet overall. A healthy diet includes: Regular meals, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner, every single day. At least 3-4 fruits and vegetables a day. The vitamins and minerals in fresh produce are essential for a developing brain and body. Lean proteins like chicken, fish, eggs, and beans. Eating slowly. Wait 10 minutes before getting seconds, as it takes your body time to realize that it is full. This will eliminate over-eating. Cutting back on fast food, sugary sodas and candies, and fatty foods like pizza and fried options. Do things on time, and never ever leave your room messy. If you're happy and organizes at home, the happiness will be reflected everywhere else in your life. Moreover, research has shown that an organized and clean physical environment can help you defeat stress and feel more in control mentally as well. Take 10-15 minutes once a week to relax, put on some music, and tidy up. If you just do a little a week it will keep you ahead of the dreaded "deep clean." Read books, check out the news, and make an effort to see the movies, plays, and events that appeal to you. One of the best parts of being a teenager is the feeling of constant growth that comes with being young. The best way to keep this feeling alive is to expose yourself to as much new material as possible. Teachers and school are great for this, but you should also follow your own passions. Where does your mind lead you? This is often the stuff that will make you happiest. It can also open the doors for your future, and show you potential careers or goals for life.
Summary: Be open and approachable to find a wide-ranging group of friends. Follow a fitness plan. Eat healthy foods. Keep your room and space organized to keep your brain organized. Spend a little time each day expanding your mind.

Problem: Article: Pass the time by playing an old school board game, like Monopoly or Clue, with a friend or sibling. If you're looking for something a little different, go online and try out some of the many games available there. Everything from Scrabble and Tetris to role playing games like World of Warcraft are online, and you can play against opponents that live all over the world. Master your favorite video game, if that's more your style. Keep yourself busy with solo games like Sudoku, solitaire and crossword puzzles. If you are looking for something a little more intense, give chess a try. Instead of texting or sending your friends instant messages via your computer or tablet, give them a call. A good chat with a friend will keep you occupied and raise your spirits. Call up your friends just to chat, or make plans to meet up with them later and hang out. Plan some activities that you can all do together, like go to the movies, head to the mall, go bowling, visit the local skate park, check out a museum or just go on a walk together to catch up. Keep yourself busy by helping out around the house. Ask one of your parents to give you a list of chores that you can take care of each week. Consider working out a system with your parents so that you could get paid a small allowance for fulfilling your weekly "duties." That way you'll stay busy with chores and once you're finished, you will have spending money to go do something fun! Write down a list of movies you've been wanting to see. If you can't think of any, ask your friends and family members for recommendations. Go online and research the movie genres that you like and discover films to watch that way. Keep your list handy and work your way through the movies by watching them on Netflix or via iTunes. Consider starting a blog of your movie reviews. Invite friends over and watch movies together, then rate them and talk about them afterward. Starting a group blog of movie reviews would also be fun.
Summary: Play a game. Call a friend. Offer to help with chores. Watch movies.

Problem: Article: Your table will be much more cohesive if there is a theme to your decorations. The theme can be either a color or an event, such as a birthday, a season, or a specific holiday. If the theme is a color instead of an event, limit yourself to 2-3 colors that go well together. If the theme is a holiday, choose colors that correspond with that holiday. For example, if it is a Christmas buffet, use decorations that are red, green, and gold. Create a centerpiece that incorporates your theme using fruit, flowers, props, or candles. You can then choose items that hint at that theme for the rest of the table, such as edible garnish, flowers, fruit, leaves, or cinnamon sticks. Some other ideas for table decorations, depending on your theme, are ribbons or seashells. You want the decorations to be classy, not gaudy or overwhelming. Ideally, the food will be on display and any decor around the table will enhance the look of the food, not hide it or overwhelm it. Also, avoid sprinkling the table with glitter or other non-edible decorations, as these often end up on people's plates or in their mouths. Choose either a tablecloth or a table runner to place beneath the food on the buffet table. Napkins are a must as well. Placemats are optional, but can be a nice touch to have beneath your serving dishes. When choosing these items, be sure that they are within your color scheme and that they go well with one another. Consider oversized cloth napkins in colors that match your theme. For a more casual buffet, paper napkins are just fine. No matter what, supply plenty of spare napkins in case of a mess. Table runners should hang about 6 inches (15cm) down the table on both sides. Make labels for each dish that you will have on the table. Use cardstock or paper folded in half, with the name of the dish written on one side. Write or type in a bold, clear font that is large enough for any guest to read. Write whether a dish is vegetarian, vegan, or gluten free on the label, beneath the name of the dish. For an extra touch, you can create a menu of all the different foods that will be served. Display the menu either using a small menu easel on the table or a stand beside the beginning of the table. That way, guests will know what they will find further down the table and can make more informed food choices.
Summary:
Choose a color theme. Buy or make items related to your theme. Avoid overdoing the decorations. Coordinate your tablecloth, a table runner, napkins, and placemats. Prepare a label for each food item. Consider making a menu to display.
