INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Some people argue that coming out relieves stress and gives others the opportunity to support you, but you should only come out when you're ready. Coming out as gay, lesbian, or bisexual can open you up to stigma or discrimination, so it makes sense to be okay with the idea yourself before telling others. Have a chat with a close friend or family member and share your feelings. Ask for their support and/or advice about how you should proceed. You might say, "I think I might have feelings for Andrea. This is new to me and I don't know what to do." Be sure you confide in a person who is supportive and non-judgmental. Reach out to a friend who is gay, lesbian, or bisexual. They may be able to empathize and provide useful advice. Most people may feel more comfortable telling a friend, sibling, or trusted adult about same-sex attraction before revealing these feelings to their parents. If this describes you, ask someone you trust to join you in telling your parents. This person doesn't have to say anything-they're just there to offer support. You might ask your best friend, older sibling, or guidance counselor to act as an ally and accompany you when you break the news to your parents. When you tell your parents, be sure to communicate your feelings with certainty, so they don't assume what you're feeling is just a "phase." Prepare for potential resistance from your parents. You may wish to put this off until you are certain about how you feel. Your friends or family may question your same-sex attraction by asking what changed, if you were previously dating someone of the opposite gender. They may also ask how you are sure about your sexuality. Answer these questions honestly and to the best of your ability, so they can have clarity. But, don't be afraid to say "I don't know" or "I'd rather not say." Your loved ones don't have to know all the details of your journey to being same-sex attracted. Having feelings for one person of the same-gender isn't a clear indicator of being homosexual. Take some time to get used to the idea and see if additional same-sex attractions occur before deciding if you are gay, lesbian, heterosexual, or bisexual. If you feel pressured by others to define yourself, simply tell them, "I'm still exploring."

SUMMARY: Come to terms with your sexuality before sharing it with the world. Get emotional support from someone you trust first. Ask for support when telling your parents. Answer questions to the extent you feel comfortable. Don't feel pressured to choose a side or a label yourself.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: "You" statements sound accusatory and argumentative. Sounding accusatory will put your parents on guard. Your parents will be much more open to what you are saying if you use "I" statements to get your point across. For example, instead of saying, "Since I came home, you keep telling me to do my chores, but I have a lot of homework to do. Calm down!" Say, "I'm feeling pressured because I have a lot of homework to do. Once I finish my homework, I will do my chores." Try to avoid screaming and yelling at your parents if you disagree with a rule or something they have said. If you find yourself becoming angry, count to three in your head and take a deep breath Then respond as calmly as possible. Keep in mind that your parents just want to protect and care for you. Yelling and screaming is a sign of disrespect that will only create a wall between you and your parents. It is also hard to listen to someone who is yelling and screaming. Instead of arguing over a rule you disagree with, try to explain to your parents why you think it is unfair or out of date. Tell your parents that you are open to negotiating the rule if they are. Say, for example, "I think that limiting my hang out time with my friends to one night during the weekend is unfair if I have all of my chores and homework done. If I finish all of my chores and homework for the week, may I go out with my friends more than once during the weekend?" Your parents no doubt have a lot of opinions on a lot of topics, often based on their own life experiences. While you may not agree with everything they say, putting down their ideas will only create hostility between you and your parents. If you disagree with something, then explain why you disagree instead of putting them down. For example, instead of saying, "That's a dumb idea," say, "I disagree with what you are saying because you are not seeing my side of the story. Can I tell you my side before you make any decisions?"
Summary: Use "I" statements instead of "you" statements. Remain calm if you disagree. Negotiate a rule if you disagree with it. Avoid putting your parents' beliefs and ideas down.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Point a box fan so that it pushes air out of your apartment. This will remove the dust from inside of your house. Turn the fan to high and let the dust in the air escape the room. As you continue to clean the dust, keep the fan on so that the drywall dust that you sweep up can be blown out of your house. Before you start disrupting the dust in the room, it's important that you empty the space of furniture. If you don't, the abrasive dust can settle on your furniture and hurt the finish on your belongings. Remove what you can out of the room and put it in another, dust-free room. Lay dropcloths or plastic tarps over furniture that's too large to move in order to protect them. Gently walk a push broom around the perimeter of the room and work your way into the middle. Make sure to be gentle and avoid pushing the dust up into the air. Use long stroking motions when pushing the dust around and try to create one pile in the center of your room. A Shop Vac or wet and dry vacuum cleaner has a larger carrying capacity and can pick up more dust than a traditional household vacuum cleaner. Start by vacuuming up all the dust that you managed to gather in the center of the room. After the initial dust is cleaned, continue to go over the entirety of the floor to suck up the remainder of the drywall dust. Go over the floor again if you notice that your Shop Vac didn't get all the dust on the first vacuuming. If you don't have a Shop Vac than you can rent one from a department store. Make sure to use a HEPA filter to trap all of the drywall dust when using the Shop Vac.

SUMMARY:
Place a box fan in the window. Remove and cover the furniture. Sweep the dust to the center of the room. Suck up the dust with a Shop Vac.
