Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Get attention from a mentor. Find a group that shares your interests. Look to your friends and your siblings. Spend time with pets. Talk to a counselor if you are really having a hard time.

Answer: Even if your parents are pretty busy, you might have a relative, coach, clergy member, friend's parent, or neighbor who can hang out. They can give you some time and positive attention, and maybe teach you some things that they are good at. Building a relationship with someone other than your parents can help you develop interpersonal skills, and raise your self-esteem and self-confidence. Join a club or sports team in your school or community. This can help you find mentors and friends, and give you a feeling of belonging and accomplishment. Look for groups and activities that match well with your skills and interests. For example, if you love to sing, you might join a youth choir at your school or a cultural center in your area. If you're more athletic, sign up a team sport like soccer or softball. You don't need to get attention only from your parents or other adults. Your friends and siblings will often be free and happy to hang out with you. Walk up to them, or pick up the phone, and ask if and when they are free to spend time with you. Making new friends can feel empowering, so don't be afraid to step outside your comfort zone to meet new people. Animals and pets make us happy because they offer us love and companionship. If your family doesn't have a pet, you could look to friends' pets or neighbor pets. Try becoming a dog walker, cat sitter, or volunteer at an animal shelter. Loneliness can be a difficult feeling, and if you are struggling to manage it, you can get help. Therapy can give you the means to express your emotions and help you better understand what you're going through. You may need your parents' permission to see a therapist, so use this opportunity to talk to them about how you feel. Here are some reasons you might want to talk to a counselor: You don't know how to cope with your feelings. You feel like acting out, or hurting yourself, to get attention (for example, causing trouble at school). You feel like hiding from your friends and family. You feel tired, and find it hard to enjoy anything. Your parents aren't meeting your basic needs (food, water, shelter), or they are being very mean to you (humiliating, name-calling, etc.).

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Recognize that all families have problems. Find someone outside of the conflict to confide in. Perform regular self-care. Consider going to family therapy. Have patience.

Answer: While television sometimes portrays ideal families that don't have issues, that is not a normal representation of life. Many normal families have issues involving stress, misunderstanding, frustration, hurt, anger, and disconnection. Having an argument with a family member is a normal part of life that is bound to happen even in the healthiest of families. Even though it's normal, you may still experience negative feelings such as sadness, hurt, anger, and frustration. Arguments may arise due to someone's poor treatment of a family member, because of a longstanding unresolved issue, or due to other family dynamics. Because you learn how to handle stress and conflict from your family, unhealthy behaviors can persist through generations. You all must work together to overcome conflicts and to change poor coping strategies. If your family has issues with mental illness, substance abuse, or other chronic issues, consider entering therapy to discuss how you can make changes for yourself. If your family members are willing, consider going to therapy together. Leaning on an unbiased third party can help you cope with fighting in your family. Make sure the person you confide in will listen to you without taking sides or breaking your confidence. Vent to them when something goes wrong, and let them help you sort out your feelings. Talking to someone who is not involved in an argument can help you vent your frustrations. However, another advantage of confiding in a friend is the ability to get some perspective. That person may be able to spot when you are being unreasonable and advise you on how to make amends when you have taken an argument to far. When there is turmoil in your family, you must attend to your own mental and emotional needs to cope. You may not even notice how tense and stressed you feel after fighting with your family, but your mind and body are certainly experiencing the effects. Stress can cause you to make rash decisions and even become physically ill. Counteract this stress by treating your mind and body good. Do something that relaxes and soothes you. This can include going for a run, taking a warm bubble bath, playing with your dog, watching a movie with friends, or getting a mani-pedi. Someone with professional training might be able to find the source of the problem and help you and your family solve these issues. Going into therapy together can help you all communicate and work together to come up with solutions to your issues. Family therapy is usually mediated by a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who will have specialized training in family dynamics as well as awareness of how different cultural, spiritual, and religious beliefs affect how people approach family conflicts. Family therapy is usually done over a brief period of time and focuses on helping your family communicate better. It can also help identify and resolve disruptions to your family cohesiveness. Learning better ways to share your thoughts, feelings, and opinions without hurting your loved ones is a skill that takes time to develop. Try not to be upset when things don't change overnight. In the meantime, look for small indicators that you and your family are learning to resolve conflict in a more healthy manner.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Know the basic formula for calculating molarity. Examine the problem. Find the molar mass of the solute. Convert the grams into moles. Divide the number of moles by the number of liters. Write your answer.

Answer:
Molarity expresses the relationship between the number of moles of a solute per liters of solution, or the volume of that solution. In formula form, molarity is expressed as: molarity = moles of solute / liters of solution Example problem: What is the molarity of a solution made by dissolving 3.4 g of KMnO4 in 5.2 liters of water? Finding molarity demands that you have the number of moles and the number of liters. If you are not provided with the number of moles but you do have the volume and mass of the solution, you will need to use these two figures to calculate the number of moles before continuing on. Example problem: Mass = 3.4 g KMnO4 Volume = 5.2 L To calculate the number of moles from the mass or grams of solute used, you must first determine the molar mass of the solute. This can be done by adding together the separate molar masses of each element found in the solution. Find the molar mass of each element using the periodic table of elements. Make sure that you count the atoms for each element and calculate the molar mass of each of the atoms. Example problem: Molar mass of K = 39.1 g Molar mass of Mn = 54.9 g Molar mass of O = 16.0 g (The solute contains 4 O atoms, so count the 16g 4 times.) Total molar mass = K + Mn + O + O + O + O = 39.1 + 54.9 + 16 + 16 + 16 + 16 = 158.0 g Now that you have the molar mass of the solute, you need to multiply the number of grams of solute in the solution by a conversion factor of 1 mole over the formula weight (molar mass) of the solute. This will give you the number of moles of the solute for this equation. Example problem: grams of solute * (1/molar mass of solute) = 3.4 g * (1 mol / 158 g) = 0.0215 mol The grams units of the solute and solute mass cancel each other out so you are left with mol units. Now that you have the number of moles, you can divide this value by the number of liters of solution in order to find the molarity. Example problem: molarity = moles of solute / liters of solution = 0.0215 mol / 5.2 L = 0.004134615 You should round off the number of digits after the decimal point to the place requested by your instructor. Usually, this will be two or three places after the decimal point. Additionally, when you write out the answer, abbreviate "molarity" with "M" and state the solute involved. Example problem: 0.004 M KMnO4
