Some fish tolerate human presence more than others and are not shy about coming close. Koi, goldfish, betta and angelfish are common breeds that are very sociable. These fish, especially koi, often take food from a human hand. Hand feeding friendly fish will be easier than feeding delicate fish that are shy or less sociable. The feeding place can be your own pond, your aquarium, or even a local park. To prevent distractions, choose a feeding time that's free of sudden noises, such as splashing water, and sudden movements, such as other humans walking by. It's best not to try this with a new fish you have just bought or moved to a new aquarium. Your fish needs time to acclimate to its new surroundings. Flake food or pellet food will work. If you're hand feeding your own fish, use your regular fish food. If you're at a park, the park will probably provide fish food for guests to use. Smaller fish, like goldfish or betta fish, typically like flake food or small pellets of food. Larger fish like koi enjoy large pellets of food. Sudden movements will scare the fish. Moving slowly and quietly will help the fish trust you. They must be used to your presence before they will eat from your hand. If you accidentally scare the fish with noise or movement, wait a few minutes and try again! Startled fish will usually come back to you if they are hungry.

Summary: Hand feed friendly fish like koi and goldfish for the easiest experience. Select a calm and quiet time to feed the fish. Use recommended food for the fish breed to avoid making the fish sick. Move slowly and quietly to avoid startling the fish.

Jealousy only works if the guy has feelings for you. If he's totally not interested, you'll have a very hard time making him jealous. The good news is, any guy you're dating or that you have dated is almost certainly interested in you, and the same can be said with guys that have been flirting with you. If you're not sure if a guy is into you, you can just try to make him jealous anyway. Though it's impossible to know if he has feelings for you with 100% certainty without asking, there are many tell-tale signs that he has a crush on you. If he pays extra attention to you in groups, makes a point of ignoring you in groups, or is always caught staring at you, then chances are, he has a crush on you. Of course, if you play your cards right, you can make a guy notice you more by trying to make him jealous, but this will be harder to do if there isn't some interest in the beginning. If you want to make the guy jealous, then you can't go around in your sweatpants and bed head. You probably don't want to wear a mini skirt and stilettos, either, but you should make an effort to look pretty darn cute when you know he'll see you so he'll take notice. Just make an effort to style your hair, wear flattering clothes, and to look like you spent some time on your appearance. This means you should look like a version of your best self, not that you should try to look like a celebrity or a supermodel. The best thing you can do is have a fantastic time without the guy that you want to make jealous. This can mean laughing with your girlfriends, dancing it up at a party, or just doing something that makes you feel happy and free. Give whatever you're doing all of your attention, and the guy will see that you really are having an amazing time - and not thinking of him at all! What could make him feel more jealous than that? If he catches you looking around the room for him, or trying to put on an act for him, then he won't be likely to get very jealous. Make sure he really doesn't think he's on your mind at all. That will drive him crazy. Do things you like to do. If you're busy and having fun so that you don't always have time for a guy, he'll start to get a little jealous. This technique is especially effective on ex-boyfriends. It shows that you're going on with your life and having a better time without him. Even if this technique fails to inspire jealousy in the guy, you'll be better off. If you don't stay busy, you'll spend all of your time obsessing over the guy and he'll be able to tell. If you really can't stop thinking about the guy and have nothing to do, make a point of making your schedule more packed. If he can see you being busy and doing things that matter to you (other than him), then great. He'll be even more interested.

Summary: Make sure he has feelings for you. Look your best. Let him see you having a great time. Stay busy.

Don't be rude or disrespectful. Give short, noncommittal answers to any questions they ask. If they ask if you want dinner or if you'll go somewhere with them, say no politely. Break or bend this rule if they're asking questions that might lead to reconciliation. Listen before you respond. Turn the latch or slip the hook into the eye. Put a note on your door explaining that you've locked the door for some space and privacy. If you just lock your door without warning, your parents could get worried and break the door down. If you don't have a lock on your door, put a sign on the door asking people to keep out or at least knock first. This includes your books, phone, and video game console. Find a cool, dry place to stash a few non-perishable snacks and drinks. Keep your phone on vibrate or silent to avoid attracting your parents' attention. If your parents answer the phone, you'll have to face them when you answer it. Have your friends call your cell phone, if you have one. If not, stick to email, instant messaging, and chat rooms. If you share a room with a sibling, respect their space. Don't hog the room for yourself. If they ask about the situation with your parents, keep your story neutral. Don't try to make your sibling take sides.

Summary: Cut off the conversation. Lock yourself in your room. Take your creature comforts to your room. Tell your friends not to call your landline phone. Show consideration for your roommate, if you have one.

In medical studies, nearly half of the population has been shown to have characteristics of sensitive skin. These include redness and/or abnormal stinging, tingling, or burning sensations that occur in response to certain triggers (which can vary from person to person). If you have very sensitive skin with redness and bumps, particularly if you are a woman over 20, you may have a common skin condition called rosacea. This skin condition is also common in people who have had acne. There are several subtypes of rosacea, so it's best to see a dermatologist if your skin is very sensitive and prone to redness. Triggers are highly variable between people, and it takes experience to find out what causes your skin to become irritated (it will be different for each person). Triggers may include: particular weather (such as sun, heat, wind, and/or cold) certain cosmetics certain soaps stress your menstrual cycle (for females), although this one cannot be avoided. Using the wrong products can worsen your sensitive skin, so it is best to get a handle on what works for you before attempting to add acne treatments. Avoid products that contain alcohol, menthol, or "exfoliating" agents. These can irritate skin and make acne worse. In general, using fewer products on your skin is better. Look for products that are labeled "hypoallergenic" at the drug store or pharmacy. Or, ones with fewer ingredients (and more natural ingredients) tend to be a better bet. Always observe the response of your skin to various cosmetics and soaps. Go by trial and error and eliminate those that cause you trouble.
Summary: Understand that sensitive skin is very common. Identify what triggers your sensitive skin, and avoid these whenever whenever possible. Select appropriate cosmetics and skin care agents for your skin.
