Problem: Article: Loners keep to themselves and don't want people to try to interact with them. To help with this, discourage people from approaching or talking to you by keeping your eyes down. Don't look people in the eye and encourage them to speak to you. Make sure not to make eye contact with people in areas where they might come and talk to you, like in the lunchroom or the classroom. To show respect, be sure to make eye contact with teachers and other authority figures. Try folding your arms over your chest. This signals that you don't want to be bothered and want to be left alone. This body position helps make you look closed off and unapproachable. Fold your arms loosely across your body and keep your head down. This will help people realize you don't want to be bothered. Adding accessories helps put up a barrier between you and others. They will see you doing something with the accessory and not disturb you. The accessories also give you a reason to ignore everyone around you. For example, you can wear headphones, read a book, look on your smartphone, or draw on a sketchpad.
Summary: Avoid making eye contact with people. Keep your arms folded. Use accessories to keep people away.

Problem: Article: Girls with darker skin can wear very bright colors on their eyes and look great. The best bright colors for dark skin are bright jewel tones like blue,emerald, or purple. Bright colors really pop against dark skin and give you a dramatic look. Using two complementing colors on your eye will create a fun, dramatic look. Try pairing gold and purple by applying the purple on your eyelid and layering the gold on top, closer to your eyebrow. Wearing neutral eye shadows in shades of brown or nude can highlight your eyes and still look very natural. Blending several different neutral colors can create a unique look to wear everyday. Stay away from whites or very light neutral colors. These colors can create a dry or ashy look on darker skin. Metallic, or shimmering, eye shadows look amazing on dark skin because they are such a contrast to your rich, dark skin color. Eye shadows with shimmer really gleam on darker skin making it a perfect choice for a date night. Try using metallic jewel toned eye shadows to give you a dramatic look.
Summary: Be bold with bright colors. Blend complementing colors. Try using neutral colors for a subtle look. Use metallics to add some fun.

Problem: Article: According to this myth, if you get a base tan, it prevents you from getting a sunburn. Having a tan doesn't protect your skin; you can still get a sunburn. Plus, any tanning is dangerous, since it damages your skin and increases your risk of developing skin cancer. You may think heading to a tanning bed is a safe option for tanning. However, the truth is that tanning beds produce UVA rays (and sometimes UVB rays), just like the sun. Though the sun produces other rays, including UVB rays, opting for a tanning bed isn't going to save you from developing skin cancers later in life. Sun lamps are another option that many people consider safer than tanning in the sun. However, they produce harmful rays, just as tanning beds and the sun do. Plus, because you can use them everyday in your home (even in the winter), you may be tempted to use them more often than other options; that will lead to increased skin damage. Harmful rays can damage your skin over time, so you should try to protect your skin instead of tanning. Put on a sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) before you go out. Also, try to stay out of the sun between 10 am and 4 pm. You can also cover up using long sleeves and provide shade for yourself with an umbrella.
Summary: Protect your skin from getting a base tan. Understand tanning beds aren't safer. Keep sun lamps out of your home. Protect yourself when you go outside.

Problem: Article: Hernias are more common in people who are overweight or who are in poor shape. If you are overweight or if you are not in good shape, then try to lose some weight by changing your diet and incorporate more exercise into your routine as well. Start by doing something low impact, such as walking or biking, and add intensity as you get stronger. Focus on preventative strengthening exercises for your core (your abdominal and back muscles). This may help to reduce your risk of some of the most common types of hernias. Aim for 30 minutes of exercise per day 5 days per week. Such support is only good for short term use after surgery. Using supportive garment in order to be able to lift more weight does not protect or prevent you from developing a hernia. It is best to avoid lifting heavy objects to prevent a hernia. However, if you need to lift a heavy object, make sure to use good form. Using bad posture when lifting an object may also cause a hernia. Start checking your posture before you lift an object to ensure that you are using good lifting posture. Some things to keep in mind when lifting objects include: Keep your back straight and your abdominal muscles tight. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart. Use your leg muscles to do the work rather than your back. Don't turn by twisting at the waist. Turn with your entire body. . Smoker's cough can become severe and this frequent, hard coughing lead to a hernia. Smoking also increases your risk of developing cancer, emphysema, heart disease, and many other serious conditions. If you smoke, ask your doctor about medications and smoking cessation programs that may help you to quit. Sometimes hernias may be caused by wearing clothing that fits too tightly around your waist. To eliminate this factor, make sure that you wear clothing that fits comfortably and that does not put too much pressure on your waist. Wear clothing a size larger than you need to provide some extra space around your waist. Wear clothes with an elastic waistband instead of fitted clothes. You are also at a higher risk of developing a hernia after you have eaten. To reduce your risk, don't bend over or lay down for about 2 to 3 hours after eating. Sit upright or recline in a chair after eating and avoid doing anything that requires you to bend over.
Summary:
Get into good shape. Don't rely on supportive garment to keep hernias in place. Use good posture while lifting objects. Quit smoking Wear loose-fitting clothing. Stay upright after eating.
