Article: You might see your teacher as only being a teacher, but keep in mind that they have a life of their own. Your teacher may be going through problems in their personal life, be stressed out from bad students, or be tired from working so much. Don't be too hard on your teacher and remember that they are a person too. Ask your teacher about their weekend, or what their favorite movies are. They'll appreciate you making an effort to learn more about them. You and your teacher don't have to be best friends, but you should be able to work together in a stress-free environment. Don't be a nuisance or give your teacher a hard time, and they'll most likely stop giving you a hard time. If you focus on your schoolwork and treat your teacher with respect, they should have no reason to dislike you. If your teacher seems to dislike you, it may be difficult for you to treat them with respect. However, if you're able to be respectful with your teacher while discussing schoolwork or personal issues, they may start to develop a mutual respect for you. When issues arise in the future, talk to your teacher respectfully, and in private, to hopefully resolve the issue.

Article: Add 1 teaspoon (4.5 g) of coconut oil, teaspoon (1.75 g) of honey, and 2 teaspoons (8 g) of sugar to a small bowl. Stir the ingredients together until they form a thick, grainy paste. Organic virgin coconut oil works best for the scrub. It's often easier to mix the sugar in with the coconut oil and honey if you use a fork instead of a spoon. Once the coconut oil mixture is fully blended, mix in 3 to 4 drops of peppermint essential oil. Stir well with the fork to ensure that the peppermint oil is mixed throughout the scrub. If you don't have peppermint essential oil, you can substitute peppermint extract. When the scrub is completely mixed, spoon it into a container that holds at least 1 ounce (28 g). To use the scrub, massage a small amount over your lips in a circular motion for approximately 30 seconds and lick it off when you're done. To maximize the benefits of the scrub, follow up with a moisturizing lip balm.

Article: Try one of the following recipes to provide food enrichment that will provide mental stimulation -- and fun! -- for your bird. Punch a hole through a rice cake and hang from a string. Parrot breeds especially enjoy pecking and foraging their way through this treat. Fill a paper lunch sack with nuts, pellets, dried pasta, and/or dried fruit. Tie the sack with a piece of ribbon or string and hang in your bird's cage. Especially eager foragers might enjoy the challenge of a double-bagged sack. Combine chopped walnuts, sunflower seeds, diced pears and apples, and granola and add enough honey and peanut butter to create a sticky mixture. Slather a clean pine cone with the mixture, then roll in millet seeds. Hang in your bird's cage. This enrichment treat is especially popular with parakeets. Just as humans have preferences, your bird will gravitate toward particular flavors and textures. While the list of treat recipes is almost endless, considering categories is helpful. Use your observations to craft homemade bird treats that will delight your pet. If your bird refuses to eat raw vegetables, try feeding it cooked versions. Offer nutritious foods in different shapes. Many birds enjoy peeling their own fruits and vegetables, so offer peas in the pod, oranges with rind, or apples with skin. Quinoa-based treats provide a wonderful source of avian nutrition. Many pet lovers have developed recipes for "birdie bread"; a quick Web search will reveal a wide variety of options. Blend fruit mixtures with ice or fruit juice. Human baby food is also a handy ingredient. Try mixing 1/2 cup sunflower seeds, 1 cup mixed walnuts and peanuts, 1/2 dried fruit, and 1 T. dry, hard corn kernels. Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place.
