Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Forget what a "typical" relationship is supposed to look like. Send each other gifts, just because. Show up to functions that really matter.

Answer: If you worry that your relationship doesn't fit the mold, stop. Going in thinking it's not going to work will put a damper on the relationship from the start. Stop worrying about what's happening and just do what feels right. You may need to tell your friends and family to butt out if they regularly make you question your relationship. You could politely say, "I understand you are looking out for me, but your constant criticisms about my relationship just aren't working for me. I'd appreciate it if we didn't talk about my love life." Part of the excitement of a relationship is doing things for each other simply out of love. You and your partner don't need to miss out on this just because you're in a long-distance relationship. You can give each other tokens of your affection, even if you don't live near each other. For example, you can send the other person flowers, have a bottle of wine sent to the table you know they're eating at, and write a letter professing your feelings. Taking the time to focus on little things like this can have a positive effect on the relationship in a big way. Long distance relationships may bring challenges, but there are also rewards. You can build up a great set of relationship-building skills and mutual understanding through the relationship. Try not to use your distance as an excuse to not attend events that really matter to the other person. Being there when they need you, or surprising them by showing up, can really give the person an idea of just how committed you are and how much you mean to them. Deaths in the family, birthdays, holidays, and promotions are all big life events. It would mean the world to your partner if you could find a way to make it to some of these events.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Wash your hands thoroughly. Clean your face. Gather clean dental floss. Remove the pimple. Clean the wound.

Answer: If you're set on popping a pimple by any method, it's important that you wash your hands before touching your face. The bacteria on your hand, even from just opening/closing the bathroom door, could potentially contaminate the small wound you're about to create or enter other pores on your face. Remember that bacteria is one of the leading causes of acne, along with excessive oil and dead skin cells. Scrub your hands with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds. Make sure you get under your fingernails and between your fingers, and rinse all the soap away under clean, running water. If you do not have soap or running water, you can clean your hands with hand sanitizer. Simply squirt out hand sanitizer into one hand (about enough to apply to both hands), then rub your hands together. Be sure to cover every surface of your hands and fingers with the hand sanitizer, and keep rubbing your hands together until the hand sanitizer completely evaporates. Not removing excess dirt and bacteria off of your face can also contaminate the site of the pimple, so it's important that you wash your face before and after popping any pimples. Benzoyl peroxide is one of the most effective ingredients to look for in a facial wash, as it kills bacteria on your skin. However, other ingredients like salicylic acid are also effective at exfoliating the skin, and may help by simply washing away bacteria. Do not over wash your face or scrub excessively. This may result in irritated skin and worsened acne. Wet your face with clean lukewarm or cool water. Apply the non-abrasive daily facial cleanser of your choice. Avoid scrubbing. Just gently rub it on your whole face, giving special attention to the affected area and surrounding areas. Thoroughly rinse your face using clean lukewarm water. Pat your face dry with a clean paper towel or a soft, clean cloth towel. Do not rub your face with the towel, as this may irritate the skin. Gather enough dental floss to wrap around your fingers as if you were about to floss your teeth. About 20 to 30 centimeters (approximately 8 to 12 inches) should be more than enough floss. Wrap both ends of the floss around your two forefingers so that you can properly angle and maneuver the floss. To actually remove the pimple, you'll simply position the floss right against one side of the pimple. Then draw the taut line of dental floss across the pimple, staying as close to the surface of your skin as possible. Try to use a somewhat swift "scratching" motion, but don't go too fast or you may inadvertently injure your face. Some people may want to do a second "walk through" with the floss to ensure any deposits in the skin are removed. Throw out the floss when you are finished. Do not reuse floss for any other purpose, including the popping of other pimples. Floss that has already been used can spread bacteria, and should be discarded immediately. Some folk remedies advise using mouthwash to clean the wound after you've popped the pimple. The reason for this is that mouthwash has antiseptic properties (due to the alcohol content of most mouthwashes), but mouthwash will not burn as badly as higher alcohol agents like pure rubbing alcohol would. Be advised that using mouthwash on your skin for pimple removal purposes is very likely to dry out the skin on your face. It can also make the area inflamed and even scaly. If you are intent on using mouthwash, simply pour a little unused mouthwash out of the bottle onto your face, or apply some mouthwash to a clean cotton ball and wipe the affected area on your face with the cotton. Do not reuse mouthwash that has touched your face or cleaned a wound. Pour out a little bit of mouthwash to use onto a cotton ball. If you contaminate the mouthwash it could potentially spread blood-borne illness and bacteria to your mouth or the mouths of others.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Start bouncing. Pull your head and shoulders to the side. Push your hips out. Tuck your legs. Straighten yourself. Land safely.

Answer: Side flips work the same way as other flips, except the motion feels more awkward. Start out as normal, standing straight while bouncing in place on the trampoline. During your highest bounce, prepare to start your flip. At the top of your bounce, pull your head and shoulders to the side as hard as you can. This creates momentum towards whatever way you chose. Your arms aren't used for momentum in this flip, so it isn't necessary to raise them. In the opposite direction of your head and shoulders, push your hips. You may be tempted to push your body backwards, but keep it straight as you move your hips to the side. This movement gives you a little extra rotation in your lower body to help you complete the flip. Like you do in any flip, bring your legs up into your chest. Bring your arms down to your knees or calves to help you rotate. Tighten yourself into a ball as much as possible to complete the flip. At the end of the flip, bring your legs back out. Keep your legs slightly bent as your feet hit the trampoline. Bring your arms straight out if you need them to balance. Bend your legs a little before hitting the ground. Try to land on the balls of your feet first. Keep your feet shoulder-width apart if possible. This gives you the most stability when landing.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Speak up if you see racism in action. Support and attend events that celebrate different cultures. Organize a vigil or protest. Lobby and fight for nondiscriminatory laws. Get involved with a local, national, or international organizations. Learn about your community.

Answer:
If you hear someone use racial slurs, make a racial joke, or mistreat people because of their race, step in say something.You might be afraid of someone who is openly hostile, but think about how the other person feels. If you are afraid for your or the other person's safety, feel free to get an authority figure, such as the police, or an adult if you are a child or teenager. If the person sees nothing wrong with what was said, ask the person not to say racist or bigoted remarks around you anymore. Tell the person that you will no longer hang around them if they continue to act this way. For example, if someone says "All _____ are criminals," ask the person, "Why do you say that?" or "Where do those beliefs come from?" Try saying, "That was an inappropriate thing to say." or "How would you feel if someone said something like that about you?" If you miss the opportunity to say something or chicken out, do not beat yourself up about it. Promise yourself that you will speak up the next chance you get. Address the behavior or the comment instead of the person. Do not resort to name calling or tell someone, "You're a racist." This will only offend them and make them angry. Most cities have cultural festivals and events. These events are a great place to learn about different cultures and interact with people from that culture. Invite your friends and family to go with you as well. Educating yourself and others is a way to have a more positive attitude towards people from different backgrounds. Events are often held in accordance with larger celebrations such as Black History Month, Asian-Pacific Heritage American Month, National Hispanic Heritage Month, etc. Protests and demonstrations are powerful ways to combat racism in your community. These can be coordinated in response to events that happen around you. For example, if someone puts racial graffiti on a building, you could get together with some people to paint over the graffiti. If a hate group such as the Ku Klux Klan is coming to town, create a petition to stop them from coming. Even if you are not able to organize something yourself, just the act of speaking up and introducing the idea is helpful. Always start by contacting your friends, family, classmates, neighbors, etc. You can also contact local law enforcement about your concerns or about what you are interested in doing. Racism happens at both the individual level and at the institutional level. Local and federal legislation can promote racism. Educating others and reforming yourself is more important, but the government does make a difference. Look for laws that promote equal salaries, equal opportunity, and punishment for people who discriminate in housing or employment. Write your elected officials, newspapers, or contact community organizers about the policies. Many organizations are dedicated to working towards these issues. Joining or supporting one of these organizations is another method you can use. You may meet like-minded people or get useful updates. You can volunteer at the organization or donate your time and/or money to their cause. America Healing maintains a list of organizations that work on racial equity issues. Having a good understanding of your community will help you identify the best approaches for reducing racism. Read through your local newspaper, magazine, or websites to get some background information. What groups of people live in your community? Do these groups live and work together? Are neighborhoods segregated? Have there been any incidents of racism between different groups?
