Q: Though you may want to frolic in the buff around your three siblings and parents or in front of all of your roommates and their guests, it's not considerate to practice nudism in front of people who are uncomfortable by it. If you live with people who say they are okay with you being in the buff, such as accepting roommates, then you can be nude any time you like. However, if people like your parents or siblings are really not into it, then you can practice nudism in the comforts of your own room or in other parts of the house when you know no one else will be home. Have an honest and frank conversation with the people you live with to gauge their reactions. Of course, it's important for you to practice your beliefs, but you don't want to infringe on the freedoms of others, either. If you live with people who might be interested in the movement, too, then you can also have a frank conversation about inviting them to join your nudist lifestyle. If they don't know much about nudism, they may be a little alarmed, at first, but they may feel better once you educate them about the beliefs of the movement and set them straight on what nudism is really about. If they don't want to join you, there's no sense in pushing it. Nudism is something that people should only do if they are really comfortable with it. Out of respect for your neighbors, you should try to keep the blinds or shutters down if you're practicing nudism in your own home. Going out in your yard in the nude is probably also a no-no, unless you live on a secluded farm or in another rural area. You may think that this puts a damper on the fun of being a nudist, but this will help you practice your beliefs in a respectful manner. You should also keep a bathrobe handy just in case, if the doorbell rings unexpectedly. You don't want to give a delivery man or neighbor the wrong impression. If you really want to practice nudism in your yard, you might be able to put a fence around the yard to keep neighbours and other passer-bys from seeing you. However, this is probably a feasible option only if you live on a street with one-story houses. You might be able to plant trees or tall bushes around your yard, as well as putting up a fence, if you live in a two-story house. Now, the fun can begin! Once you know you're alone or that anyone else at home is comfortable with your nudism, and once you're out of view of the neighbors, you can go about your daily life in the buff. You can make breakfast, watch television, study for exams, call friends, play with your cat, dance around, or just do whatever else you normally do without having any clothes on. That's the fun of nudism: doing what you normally do while feeling liberated! Of course, you should still shower, wash your hands, and keep things hygienic, whether you're in the buff or not. It's important to stay clean and fresh, whether you're clothed or not. One of the greatest joys of being a nudist is sleeping naked, feeling the cool sheets and mattress against your body when you drift off. Heck, many people who aren't nudists love sleeping without any clothes on. If you're committed to practicing nudism, then this can really be your time to shine especially if you sleep alone or don't have roommates. Set your home to a nice temperature or open a window, depending on the season, and enjoy feeling free as you drift off. If you do live with roommates and don't want to startle any other people if you take a bathroom trip in the middle of the night, you should hang a bathrobe on your door so you can quickly throw it on if need be. If you've tried to be nudist at home but feel too restricted because of the other people in your home, the judgment of your neighbors, or the general lack of freedom that you feel, then you may be better off moving to a more secluded area either where there are less people to offend, or where you can live with people who share your views. Of course, if you're too young to go out on your own just yet, you may have to wait until you feel responsible enough to go out on your own or just to relocate.
A: Respect the boundaries of the people you live with, if you don't live alone. Talk to like minded people when choosing to find roommates. Keep yourself out of view of your neighbors. Do what you normally do naked. Sleep in the buff. Consider moving to a more nudist-friendly location.

Q: Hold the tip of your mitt against the ground. Follow the ball as you attack it. If the ball takes a hard bounce, you can move your glove up to stop it. Keep your glove at an incline and use the heal of your wrist to stop the ball. Practice this by having someone roll or hit some balls directly at you. When the mitt is held flat on the ground, balls can roll up your arm. When the glove is held straight off the ground, it'll block balls rather than catch them. Shortstops need to be mobile. Anticipating balls and getting to them quickly is crucial. Practice shuffling to the side to get to balls not hit right at you. Hold your glove down and use your feet to get yourself into position. Add a small hop to your routine. As soon as the bat hits the ball, hop so you can get your feet moving. Catching balls in the center of your body should only be done if you don't have time to move. Keep your arm near your side. Align your arm and mitt with the ball's path after getting into position. This prevents your muscles from tensing, so you'll make less errors. Even when a ball is hit to your opposite side, you won't cross over yourself. You'll plant your back leg ahead of you and make a backhanded catch. Once the ball is in your glove, pull your arm up into your chest. This secures the ball and readies it for a throw. Rushing means you try to transition the ball to a throw before you've secured it, so it pops out of your glove. When the ball is centered, your body will feel balanced so you'll be less likely to make an errant throw. When a ball is hit hard, you won't have time to get into position. You should anticipate where the ball will go and step towards it. Plant your dominant foot ahead of you. Aim to have the ball land between your thumb and pointer finger, then push your glove against the ball to catch it. Moving too early for a ball gives the batter an indication of what pitch is coming. Instead, stay in place. Watch the pitcher deliver the ball. When the batter is about to swing, move to where you need to be. Keep the batter guessing so he doesn't get a hit.
A:
Keep your mitt low to field ground balls. Work on your footwork. Field balls on the mitt side of your body. Bring fielded balls up your chest. Backhand catch balls you can't get in front of. Pay attention to the pitcher to avoid tipping off the batter.
