Summarize the following:
You should work on forming solid friendships with people who bring you up rather than down. Make friends with people who are kind and supportive. In school, stick by these friends. The buddy system can keep bullies away. Always have a group of friends nearby. Eat lunch with a group of friends and walk between classes with your friends. Bullies often target people who seem alone and isolated. If you look like you have a solid friend group, a bully may be less likely to seek you out as a victim. Avoiding places where bullies hang out can help prevent bullying. As you navigate your school, stay away from areas where bullies are likely to congregate. Bullies often gather near areas where there is not a lot of supervision. Bullies may hang out in areas like the locker room or secluded hallways, for example. Try to avoid these areas. If you have to enter an area where bullies may be gathered, always bring a friend. Bullies are more likely to target people in the absence of adult supervision. Try to stay near adults in your school. During lunch, for example, you and your friends could sit near the teachers. Between classes, avoid lingering in the hallway. Go to your classroom right away to avoid attracting a bully.

summary: Stick by your closest friends. Avoid areas where bullying occurs. Stay near adults.

A selfie of yourself standing before a mirror with your phone visible is now a cliche. Turn the phone around and take the picture for better results. Most recent smartphones can take a picture so that you can see what's being taken in the screen. You can also try propping your phone or camera against something and using the timer feature to take your picture. Even a selfie stick can help you take a more flattering picture. If you must take a picture in front of a mirror, hold the phone/camera at shoulder height and tilt it upwards. If you zoom in enough, this will keep the phone/camera out of the picture. Your face against a white background can seem a little boring. Try taking your picture in front of natural scenery, your work environment, or even a colored background. Don't make the background too busy, however, If your profile picture is of you at a concert, your face might be lost in the crowd. You want to find a balance between a picture that is too dark and one that is too bright. It's hard to take a good picture at night, and daylight between 11 pm and 1 pm is typically too harsh for good pictures. Try to take your profile picture in the morning or around sunset. Natural light is thought to be best for pictures. You can take a good profile picture with indoor light, however. Just position yourself so that the light source is not shining directly on you. If you have to use flash, try to get someone to take the picture of you so that the flash won't reflect too strongly off of your body.

summary: Don't take the picture in front of a mirror. Include some attractive scenery. Take the picture in good lighting.

Summarize the following:
Love is often referred to as being "blind". This adage exists because it connotes acceptance of a person in spite of imperfections. Love is a realization that no one is perfect, and allows you to love someone for his or her flaws and shortcomings. Love motivates you to look for the good in a person and to encourage improvement. When you expect too much and your expectations aren't met, you feel disappointed. Avoid such disappointments by being resilient and flexible with your loved ones. On the other hand, counterfeit love concentrates too much on flaws and failures, turning them into a reason to control, berate or be unkind toward another person. Counterfeit love is often conditional on a person behaving in a certain way. Seeking perfectionism in yourself and your relationships is like chasing the pot of gold at the end of the rainbowit's never attainable. Healthy love is about setting boundaries to protect your relationships and yourself. Healthy love begins with self-love (not self-absorption) and radiates from loving yourself. Healthy love also learns to forgive and move forward, in the realization that harboring resentment is like holding a hot coal of angeryou are the only one who gets burned. Forgiveness is a big part of loving others, as is making it clear to people where your limits lay. It's not wrong or unloving to stand up to disrespect; it's a healthy sign of self-respect and setting boundaries for others to learn from. On the other hand, counterfeit love does keep score, with a person frequently returning to occasions when he or she felt you hurt or upset his or her feelings. This scorekeeping can reach back years in the relationships of some people, with bitterness and resentment the only thing keeping people close. Such unhealthy love never learns forgiveness and results in "lovers" with little to no self-esteem. Love never fails, even you feel like it has. Breakups (whether it's a romantic, workplace, business, friendship, etc.) can really hurt. Yet, love is worth the effort, even in those times when loss hurts you. For, as Alfred Lord Tennyson put it, Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. Love is therefore also about experience. You cannot shut yourself off from the rest of the world, no matter how afraid you are of loss. By opening yourself up to the amazing possibilities of love, you open yourself up to all the beauty and wonder of the world too. Sometimes it won't work but on the law of averages, you'll experience more love than loss, especially if you don't tie down your notion of love to simple romantic love but embrace love as a way of being and thinking in all walks of your life.
summary: Use love to sidestep perfectionism. Discover that love keeps no records of wrong, although it does have healthy boundaries. Love even though you may lose.
