Problem: Article: This also means that you should dig into the deeper issues, not just the superficial ones, that could have caused them to run away. If the teen won't talk to you, find a professional (therapist, school guidance counselor), religious figure or other relative to reach out to the teen so you can start to figure out what is really going on. Try to sit down and talk with your teen first in a compassionate way. Most instances of teenagers running away are in response to a specific problem or stressor that teens feel they can solve by leaving home (e.g. bullying, bad grades, home pressures, pregnancy or substance abuse). You should determine whether there is a legitimate problem or just a power struggle. Some disorders a teen could be dealing with include depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and many other disorders. While you may be aware of the problems themselves (or not), you might not be aware of how the problems are affecting your child. Sexual abuse is also a common reason teenagers run away (and must be reported to authorities). It's possible there is something about your parenting style that the child is rebelling against. When was the last time you sat down and talked to your child about how they are feeling? They might push you away, but inside they really do want to talk. They just don't know how. Teens could also be dealing with problems at school. You should do more research on your child's school. Bullying is one of the main reasons for running away from home. Verbal and physical harassment such as hitting, fighting, abusing and even teasing can also be a big reason of troubled teenager's problems. Which environment is causing the teenager's stress? Friend circles, school or home? You should do a clear and honest assessment about what it's like in your home. If there is a situation where one parent is harming the child or parental fighting is causing a stressful home environment, get immediate help. Any harm toward a child physical or verbal - should not be tolerated and must be reported to the authorities. Seek help from a therapist or religious leader too. Home violence or fights between the parents can also become a big problem in teens' lives. Maybe it's your marriage that needs improving rather than avoiding issues. Due to home violence or arguments, teenagers may feel depressed and abandoned. This kind of helpless feeling may force them to go away from home and also can encourage them to become an alcohol or substance abuser. It might be better to respond to running away with love instead of anger. Letting your teen know that you love him or her unconditionally and want to help could be more effective than creating a judgmental home environment. They will be more likely to open up and tell you what is going on. Some homeless or runaway teens are LGBT and are worried their parents won't accept them. If they are LGBT and worried you don't accept them, or if you actually do not accept them, reassure them that you do and work on achieving acceptance of who they are. Hug your teen a lot and tell your teen you love him or her. Praise and reward positive behaviors. This is a much more effective response to running away than punishment and yelling. Do not belittle, dismiss or invalidate the teenager's feelings, even if the feelings seem weird to you. Things that seem inconsequential to you may actually be the worst thing that has ever happened to your teenager. If you feel emotionally ready to do so, tell your teen that you would like to meet with them. Take them out to lunch or dinner. Ask how they are doing. Try to make your time together pleasant. Ask lots of questions but keep in mind that if you are taking an accusing tone, you are likely to put them on the defense and get no good answers. Why did they think this was the only way to be happy? What was their plan to survive and make a living on their own? What led up to this? Was it planned or impulsive? Be patient. Whatever the problem is, screaming or jumping to punishment will probably just make it worse. Give them time clean up, eat and sleep before addressing any issues, as emotions are high for both of you, and they are probably tired, hungry and dirty. When you talk to them let them know how hurt and worried you were. Before you talk about a problem, make sure they know that you want to sort it out together. Show that you are willing to compromise to their needs and help solve any problems, whilst till upholding ground rules and values. When it comes to teenagers running away, the best thing you can do is teach your teen, through your words and actions, that problems are to be faced and that running away creates more problems than it solves. Part of showing unconditional love is to be present. If you are always at work or distracted, try to make your teenager feel like more of a priority in your life.
Summary: Establish an immediate open dialogue with your teen instead of just punishing them. Figure out the exact nature of the teenager's concerns. Be honest with yourself about your home environment. Show your teen unconditional love. Speak warmly and positively to your teenager even if you're upset.

Problem: Article: Most websites and mobile devices process vertical images better than horizontal. If you create a horizontal infographic, mobile users will struggle to read the image. Consequently, only a relatively small audience will be able to read your infographic. Use a big font that is easy to read, so that it catches the reader's eye. If you're planning to present numeric data or statistics, use a number in your headline. For example, write "Ways to Decrease Childhood Obesity," "How Much Time Do People Spend Online Every Day?" or "12 Countries with Advancing Technologies." When writing the title, select a font that's easy to read and conveys the personality of your infographic. If your office has graphic design personnel, consult with a typographer or a graphic designer if you are unsure which font will work best. your text to remove any errors or typos. Since infographics use different layouts and have several different text boxes, it can be harder to spot mistakes than it would be on, say, a press release. So, take the time to edit your own work: read the text to yourself and correct any grammatical or content-level errors. If you're working in an office environment, ask 1 or 2 coworkers if they'd be willing to review your writing as well. People are drawn to visuals, so draw the conclusions of your infographic in graphics, rather than text. Using custom illustrations can increase the popularity of your infographic. Viewers should respond well to the graphics when they realize the illustrations are custom-made. For example, your pie chart regarding teen exercise rates and their effectiveness could be in the shape of a basketball. Or, have an artistic friend draw 1-2 images of happy, jogging teens to pair with your statistics on teen health. If you're creating the infographic to advertise an Instagram account or or photography business, choose photos instead of illustrations. If you don't have the resources to create your own illustrations, you can find plenty of free images online. Many of the free infographic-design websites will also offer free generic images. Once you have all of the different elements of the infographic readydata, graphics, images, textyou're ready to put the final graphic itself together. You can do this in various computer programs like Photoshop, InDesign, or Gimp. If you'd prefer a free, online approach, use the Pixlr Editor.
