Poison oak is similar to its close relatives poison ivy and poison sumac because they are all members of the same botanical family. The most common type of poison oak, known as western poison oak, grows most commonly along the Pacific coast in Oregon, Washington, and California. It can grow as a small shrub in open spaces or as a climbing vine in shaded forest areas. Other varieties of poison oak include Atlantic poison oak, which grows in the southeast US. This variety is much less common than the western poison oak. A good way to avoid a poison oak rash is to never touch a plant that you think may be poison oak. In order to get close enough to the plant to identify it, use a stick or a gloved hand to examine it more closely. If it turns out to be poison oak, make sure anything that has come into contact with the plant is washed with soap and water. Poison oak, whether it is growing as a shrub or a climbing vine, has a trifoliate leaf structure. This means that the leaves grow in sets of threes off the stem. The edges of the leaves have a wavy or scalloped appearance. As the name suggests, the leaves look a bit like oak leaves. The top side of the leaves are typically a glossy green color. They can also be yellowish, reddish, or brownish depending on the health of the plant and the season. On the underside of the leaf, there is less sheen, less green, and more of a velvety appearance. Stems tend to be a bit greyish in color, though, given the lighting in some forested areas, this can be difficult to see. The stems will also be covered in tiny hair or thorn-like structures. Poison oak has yellowish-green small flowers in the spring. The plant will also produce light green berries throughout the summer and into the fall. This will help you rule out other plants by noting what it doesn't have. If it doesn't have pointed leaves and it doesn't have thorns, it isn't poison oak. In the winter, it loses its leaves and looks like reddish-brown sticks (sometimes a few poking up from the ground, sometimes a big clump) with alternating stubs. You can also find it as a thick vine climbing up a tree, sometimes (depending on the season) with small poison oak leaves coming out of it.

Q: If you want to get to know the girl outside of school, a good way to talk to them is through social media. Add her on Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, Twitter, or Tumblr.

Ask her for her phone number by saying, "Hey, I'd like to talk to you outside of school. Can I have your phone number?" Ask her what the best time to call would be. Once you start talking to her regularly, be sure to listen more than you talk. Ask her questions if the conversation stalls and see what she has to say about herself. If you haven't heard of something she talks about, then do research online to learn about it. You can ask her questions like "What kind of movies do you like," "What kind of music do you like," or "Are you into sports?" If you're a funny guy, then try to make her laugh whenever you can.

If this is the case, be nice during the conversation and stay away from picking on her or making fun of her. The happier she is while talking to you, the more she'll want to date you.
