Revenge might feel good for a moment, but it can have lasting consequences. Feelings of hurt can overtake you, leaving you bitter, angry, and hostile, but this doesn't mean you should retaliate. Don't meet him on a low level; be the bigger person and don't hurt him back. Disengage from this person and don't allow him back into your life. If you go to the same school, it might be more difficult, but cut as many ties as you can with him. Don't allow him to continue manipulating or using you. Create as much distance as you can. Delete his number from your phone, cancel connections with him on social media, get rid of his email address, stay away from places he might be, and don't talk to him. Being used is a painful experience. Remind yourself that you are worthy and valuable and no one has the right to treat you with disrespect. Recognize that not every guy is out to use people, and remember that good guys exist. You can use this experience to recognize your own inner strength and learn from the experience. No, this doesn't include blaming yourself, but it does mean you can be completely honest with yourself. Taking responsibility is different than taking blame. Taking responsibility means keeping yourself accountable and owning what actions may have contributed to a negative situation, but not assuming all wrongdoing in shame. It may be most natural to feel victimized and that you had nothing to do with being used (and this might be true). But also reflect on if there were any factors that you contributed that made you a target. It's okay to admit that there were things that contributed to what happened. This allows you to gain insight and learn from your mistakes. Perhaps you were desperate to have a boyfriend, and liked that he gave you attention, even though it wasn't always positive attention. Maybe you were vulnerable after exiting a previous relationship and wanted to be liked by a boy. Choose to forgive him, when you feel ready. Holding onto bitterness can affect your next relationships and make you feel untrusting toward other guys. Forgiving him releases you from your hurt and pain. It also releases the role he played in your life and allows you to move on without bitterness. Forgiving him doesn't mean you find his actions acceptable or that you're forgetting what happened, but it means you are allowing yourself the opportunity to heal from the experience. Choose to accept what happened between the two of you, then choose to not let him have any more power over you or your emotions. Stop holding on to the hurt and allow yourself to start healing. You may never choose to tell him you forgive him, but remember that forgiving him is for you, not for him. When you're ready, let go of him and the pain he caused you. Write down his name and what happened, including all the emotions you feel. Then, get rid of this paper in a way that is meaningful to you. You can flush it down the toilet, (safely) burn it, or tear it up. Writing down the hurt and pain and then disposing of it is a symbolic way of showing you are ready to move on and let go of the pain this caused.

Summary: Avoid getting even. Keep your distance. Learn from the experience. Take responsibility for how you may have contributed. Forgive. Let go.

Push-ups are a great way to build upper body strength and you may be able to do them with some slight modifications. Try doing push-ups on your knees or do incline push-ups while standing on one leg. Place your hands on a counter or a sturdy chair and do some push-ups. Make sure your injured foot is off of the ground and that you are not putting pressure on it. If you have rings set up, or are able to get to a gym, try a set of ring rows, also called reverse push ups. Hold onto the rings with your arms straight. Pull up on the rings, bending your arms until the rings reach your chest. As you use the rings, allow your injured foot to rest on top of the good leg. You can also do regular pull-ups using rings but make certain that your feet don't hit the ground. Keep your knees bent and allow yourself back onto the floor gently. Lie down on a bench with your back straight. Hold out your arms at right angles to your body with elbows bent. Lift straight up and lock, tightening your chest. Bring the weights back to your chest slowly. Your feet should be resting on the floor with the injured foot on a pillow or extended. This exercise works on the shoulders and triceps. Use the amount of weight you are comfortable with. Choose your weight and then sit down with your back straight. Start with elbows bent and lift straight up. This works on the chest, shoulders and triceps. Pick an amount of weight you can lift relatively easily. Sit down with your back straight. Start with your arms by your sides and lift so that the weights end up at your armpits. This works on the trapezoids (traps) and biceps. Sit down with your back straight and choose your weights. Start with your arms by your sides and then rotate the palms of your hands so the palms face inward. Lift out and up, turning the palms outward so that the weights end up at shoulder height and turned out (away) from your body. You can do these on an incline as well.

Summary: Do a push-up variation. Use rings to exercise. Complete a dumbbell bench press. Do the one-arm shoulder press while sitting. Try a sitting dumbbell upright row. Do bicep curls.

If your child's eyes bulge outward because of this syndrome, it is important to keep them lubricated. The best way to do this is by using eye drops (which are also called artificial tears). The eye drops will help to keep your child's eyes from getting scratched. This is important because scratches along the lining of your child's eyes could potentially lead to vision problems. To use the eyes drops: Apply the eye drops to your child's eyes at least four times a day for maximum effect. Check to see if the solution is temperature sensitive. If it is, keep it in the fridge. Mild, non-comedogenic (meaning it doesn't block pores) cleansers and mild baby shampoos can be used to prevent bacteria from accumulating near your child's eyes, leading to irritation and infection. It is best to do this at night to wash away any dirt that accumulated during the day. To clean your child's eyelashes: Step 1: Make sure your child's eyes are kept closed, and get them damp. Right after showering is a great time to do this. Make sure that your child's eyes stay closed. Wash your hands with warm water and soap. Step 2: Put a pea-sized drop of shampoo on your clean index finger. Gently rub the shampoo along your child's eyelashes. Give the eyelashes 40 gentle rubs. Step 3: Rinse off excess shampoo with a washcloth and warm water. Because your child's eyes are more exposed to dirt and bacteria than most other children, it's important to give him as much protection as possible. Sunglasses are the best protection for outside activities, while normal glasses or even eye goggles can be worn when doing activities inside that could potentially get into your child's eyes.
Summary: Keep your child's eyes lubricated. Use baby shampoo to keep your child's eyelashes free of bacteria. Give your child protective eyewear.
