Q: Talking with your partner and expressing how you feel is the best way to let your partner know that you are not ready to have sex. A truly caring partner will listen to your concerns and respect your wishes and how you feel. If you are uncomfortable with having sex, the only way your partner is going to know about your discomfort is if you tell your partner that you are not ready or don't want to. If you feel uncomfortable expressing this to your partner, you can seek out counseling from your school counselor. You can also seek advice from your parents. A good partner will be open to hearing your feelings and thoughts regarding sex. If your partner doesn't want to listen to your stance on sex, you may need to reevaluate your relationship. Your partner may try to convince you that having sex is the best option and it's something you should want. Avoid giving into anything she might say or do, standing firm in your choice to not have sex. When it comes to having sex, always listen to your own thoughts and feelings first. If you are not comfortable with having sex, then you need to honor your feelings. Although you may care for your partner's needs, never compromise your own to meet hers. Being pressured into having sex can be a sign that your partner doesn't respect your own needs. You don't need to prove your love to your partner by having sex with her. In fact, having sex won't likely prove anything at all. Setting clear boundaries with what you are and are not comfortable with can go a long way in avoiding future issues. Talk with your partner and let him know what is acceptable and what isn't. Making your boundaries clear can help you and your partner feel more comfortable and have a better relationship. Be aware, too, that it's okay if you're not entirely sure of your boundaries. Just communicate this to your partner and if your partner does something you aren't comfortable with, tell him to stop. Be as clear as possible with your boundaries. Never accept your partner pushing or trying to go beyond your boundaries. It's okay to change your mind. If you are doing something and decide you're not comfortable with it or you don't want to do it anymore, you can tell your partner to stop. It may be the case that your partner isn't listening to you when you say that you aren't ready for sex. She may try to continue pressuring you into sex or continue bringing it up. A partner who isn't respecting your needs, feelings, and concerns might not be such a great partner after all. The relationship might have to end if your partner isn't listening when you say "no" to sex. Your relationship may be unhealthy if your partner won't respect your decision to not have sex. Your own values and needs are more important than the relationship continuing. You deserve someone who will respect your choice when it comes to not having sex. There are a few common ideas that your partner may use to try and convince you to have sex. These ideas can range from comparing your relationship to others all the way up to emotional blackmail. Knowing how to respond to these tactics can help you be prepared and stand strong in your decision to abstain from having sex. Take a look at the following sample dialogue to learn some of the more common persuasion tactics: "If you really loved me, you'd have sex with me." This is emotional blackmail and is a serious sign of disrespect from your partner. You might reply by saying "If you really loved me, you'd respect my choice to not have sex." "If you don't have sex with me, someone else will." A statement like this reveals that your partner cares more about sex than he does for you. You might say "I'm sorry you feel that way. I hope you find someone else then." "Everyone else is having sex." Many teens are actually not having sex, choosing to wait until later in life. You might reply with "Well, our relationship isn't everyone else's. I'm going to do what's right for me."
A: Talk with your partner. Don't give in to pressure. Make yourself clear. Break up if necessary. Think about responses.

Article: The saddle is the part of your guitar that's below the pickups, on the opposite side of your headstock. If you've never adjusted the guitar's intonation, your saddle might be more difficult to move. Before you adjust the position of the saddle, loosen the strings so that you don't create unnecessary tension on the strings which could cause them to snap. If the saddle is being difficult, you can wiggle it back and forth with your fingers until it moves. If your note is flat, you'll want to move the saddle up towards the headstock. Loosen the screw a quarter turn to sharpen your note. You may have to do this several times before the string on the 12th fret is correct. Use a screwdriver to tighten the screw on the saddle if the string that you're playing is sharp. This will move the saddle away from the headstock and will flatten the note on the 12th fret. Once you've made adjustments with your screwdriver, you can re-tune your strings. Test the note on the 12th fret and take note of whether you corrected the problem. If you turned the screw too far, your string might be off the correct tuning. If this is the case, then loosen the string again and adjust the screw more until the string plays in tune, on the 12th fret.

Loosen the strings to give the saddle freedom of movement. Loosen the screw on the saddle if your string is flat. Tighten the saddle screw if the note is sharp. Retune your strings.

Article: Making a sound on a trumpet requires more than just blowing air into it. Use the proper lip technique for the best tone. Start by saying the letter M, and holding your lips together right when they touch each other. Then tighten the corners of your mouth. This is the starting mouth position for trumpet playing. Don't pucker your lips. Keep your mouth straight across. Keep your jaw loose and don't clench your teeth. This buzzing produces the trumpet sound. Use your diaphragm and push air through your lips while keeping them clenched. Produce a buzzing sound as your lips vibrate. Imagine the noise you'd make if you were imitating a mosquito buzzing. This is the sound you want. Don't change your lip position like you would when you blow air out. Keep your lips together so they vibrate and buzz. Avoid puffing out your cheeks. Lick your lips first if you're having trouble getting this sound. It won't work as well with dry lips. When you've gotten comfortable buzzing your lips, get a feel for blowing into the trumpet mouthpiece. Take the mouthpiece and press it against your lips gently. Maintain the same mouth position as before. Then buzz your lips into the mouthpiece. The mouthpiece won't produce much sound by itself, so don't worry if notes don't sound good yet. The mouthpiece detaches easily. Just twist it loose a bit while pulling gently and it will come right out. Do the same to put it back in. Don't hit it in or it may get stuck.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Press your lips together and keep the corners of your mouth tight. Push air through your lips to make a buzzing sound. Blow into the mouthpiece when it's not in the trumpet.
