Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Travel in groups of two or more. Dress and act with confidence. Learn self-defense such as martial arts, or take a self-defense class. Try having a positive interaction with them.

Answer: If you're traveling alone, you're often an easier target than with a group of friends or relatives. Groups of teens often are more inclined to act out when in a group. Their group is their security, and they may want to show-off in front of their peers. Find ways to travel more often with someone you trust, particularly at night or in areas where you know there's been trouble. While this may not come easily, it's important to see that increasing your self-esteem will allow you to act and behavior more assertively. Try to dress and do things that don't draw attention to yourself in a way that may lead to ridicule. Bullies often find ways to make others feel more vulnerable, so blending in may be helpful. By participating in a class, the act of taking action will lead to greater self-esteem, and in turn a greater sense of strength. Most martial artists will tell you that the first day you start a martial arts class is ironically the last time you ever fight. With the use of discipline as taught in martial arts, the ability to walk on past a group of bullying teens will seem much less intimidating. If there's a group of teens who aren't actively provoking you, but just acting a little suspicious, try breaking the ice. Consider having a brief but positive conversation with them, rather than assuming it will be negative. Sometimes loitering teens just want to have a purpose, particularly if they're hanging out in the same spot regularly. Consider engaging them in a useful way, like being a look-out for other suspicious activity. Or just simply introduce yourself and make small talk. See if being "neighborly" reduces the negativity.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Make the decision to disclose your condition. Understand what is legal for an employer to ask. Prepare for a pre-employment medical assessment, if required.

Answer: Federal disability laws prohibit employers from asking about your diagnosis, though laws may vary slightly in different countries. There are pros and cons associated with disclosing your condition. The upside is that both parties are aware of the situation and can make reasonable accommodations. The con is that although discrimination is illegal, applicants worry whether it will hurt their chances. There is some debate about whether job seekers with chronic health conditions should disclose their illness. This is a personal choice, and should be made after consulting with your doctor to understand the scope of your diagnosis, as well as after considering how potential careers may influence your health. The employment laws of the country you live in will play a significant role in what you have to disclose about your illness, and also regarding your rights against potential discrimination. You are able to disclose as much or as little information as you choose, and the employer is only permitted to ask general questions about any disabilities, like whether you have a condition that would prevent you from fulfilling the job requirements. In the US, a potential employer is not permitted to ask questions like the following before extending a job offer: Do you have a heart condition? Do you have asthma or any other difficulties breathing? Do you have a disability that would interfere with your ability to perform the job? How many days were you sick last year? Have you ever filed for workers' compensation? Have you ever been injured on the job? Have you ever been treated for mental health problems? What prescription drugs are you currently taking? There are instances where an employer will require you to undergo a pre-employment medical assessment. These are intended to ensure that you are medically capable of fulfilling the job requirements of the position. They are not required for applicants; they are used after an employer has offered a conditional job offer. These examinations seem to be falling out of favor with employers, but there is still a possibility that you will be asked to undergo an examination. These are typically used in occupations where physical duties are essential, like manufacturing or drivers. They are legal only if the employer requires that every employee, regardless of whether they have a disability or not, is required to undergo the same process prior to beginning the job. The employer may also ask medical questions rather than requiring a full exam. An employer is able to rescind their offer of employment if they can show that you are medically unable to fulfill the basic job requirements.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Harvest Place your scissors 1/3rd of the way down a stem of oregano. Run your fingers along the stem to remove just the leaves if you prefer.

Answer: oregano just before the plant flowers, or as needed. Oregano is most flavorful right before the plant flowers, so this is the perfect time to harvest if you plan to dry or freeze your herbs. However, you can also harvest small amounts of oregano to use fresh in your kitchen. Keep in mind that the oregano may taste bitter after the plant flowers, so it's a good idea to harvest the remaining stems before your plant flowers. You can dry them by hanging them in bunches or using a dehydrator. Alternatively, you could freeze them. The best time to harvest oregano is in the morning after the dew dries. The flavor of your oregano will be strongest during warm weather. You can harvest less, but not more. Position the scissors against the stem in a spot that's in between the leaves to prevent damaging the leaves. Place your thumb and middle finger just below the leaves you want to harvest. Slowly run your hand up the stem to pull off the leaves, collecting them as you go. Place the leaves in a clean, dry container for use in your kitchen. Cut away the bare stem using your scissors. This is a great alternative for days when you just want a few leaves to season a dish.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Consult a dermatologist if your blackheads don't go away. Ask about over-the-counter treatments for stubborn blackheads. Get your blackheads extracted professionally if they bother you. Check with your doctor if you have moderate-to-severe acne, as well.

Answer:
Your blackheads should clear up after about 4-8 weeks of home care. However, they may persist in some cases. If this happens to you, your dermatologist can prescribe a more powerful treatment to help clear your skin. They may also recommend getting an extraction. Talk to your dermatologist to decide what's best for you. For instance, your dermatologist may prescribe hormonal birth control or spironolactone to help balance your hormones if topical treatments don't clear your blackheads. Cleansers and creams that contain salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide can also help clean your pores. Additionally, benzoyl peroxide kills bacteria. These treatments are usually effective for clearing blackheads. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you need help picking the right product for you. You can also buy pore strips over-the-counter to help remove the blackheads. If other treatments aren't working and you don't want to use a comedone extractor yourself, schedule an appointment with your dermatologist to do it for you. They will inject your blemishes with corticosteroids to help reduce the risk of scarring before using a comedone extractor to remove them. Blackheads alone typically respond to natural or over-the-counter treatments. However, you may need additional treatments if you also have other types of acne, like whiteheads or pimples. Your dermatologist can offer you creams or medications to help clear your skin. Your dermatologist may give you prescription-strength acne cleansers and creams. If you have cystic acne, you may need an antibiotic to help clear your skin. You may need to take hormonal birth control or spironolactone if your acne and blackheads are caused by hormonal fluctuations.
