There's a chance that a girl with her image and social history may be less open to making new friends. She could be hesitant to open up to you, or try to keep you from getting too close too soon. Don't be put off. Letting her know you like her and want the two of you to get to know each other is about being up front and, most importantly, being persistent. Don't be easily discouraged. No friendship falls into place right away. It may just be a matter of seeing her a few times and becoming more comfortable in one another's presence. Know when to back off. Though persistence is important, it shouldn't keep you blindly pursuing her if she's just not interested. Try to develop a sense of when enough is enough. If she feels like she's being harassed, it may make her even more closed off. No matter what your intentions are in getting to know her, the strongest foundation is friendship. The two of you will most likely start off as friends, and you may even find that this is more meaningful to you than dating her would be. Don't try to force her into anything or expect things to move too fast. It's up to her whether she wants the relationship to progress; in the meantime, let your friendship be its own reward. Others may be reluctant to become friends with her based on the way she looks or acts outwardly. Try to see past the "tough girl" label and get at the essence of the person inside. We're not all that different at the end of the day. Become a reliable figure in her life. Always be ready with a helping hand and prove to her that you can be trusted. She can be the most capable person in the world, but it will still mean something to her to know that you care. Make yourself available when she needs you. Be someone that she can talk to. That means being honest and straightforward with her, withholding judgment and making her feel at ease. No matter how tough or independent she is, no one minds receiving a compliment. Pay attention to more than just her physical features. Single out the best parts of her character and give them the praise they deserve. Sometimes she might just need to hear that someone else likes the same things about her that she likes about herself. Encourage her individuality, don't make her feel self-conscious about it. Attempts to change her subtly by saying things like "you shouldn't be such a loner" or "see, you look good when you get dressed up" will only be met with resentment. Lavishing her with too much praise can become tiresome. Say something nice about her when it's warranted; otherwise, it's best not to be too heavy-handed with affection. Make her feel appreciated. This is a much more significant thing than just telling her she's pretty or complimenting her hairstyle. True appreciation stems from recognition of someone's positive qualities and successes, and these are the things you want to celebrate with her.

One-sentence summary -- Don't let yourself be chased off. Be a good friend. Let her know she can count on you. Tell her what you like about her.

Q: Although most people typically associate white hair with getting older, there is no specific age at which people are "supposed" to go grey. Some people spot their first white hairs in their teens, while others don't go grey until middle age. As the presence of white hair is mainly down to genetics, if your parents went grey at an early age, you probably will too. Race also plays a role. Most white people will start to see white hairs by the age of 35, Asians by the age of 40 and black people by their mid-forties. It's a common belief that white hairs are caused by stress, but there is no clear scientific proof for this theory. It's possible that stress can contribute to the production of free radicals that result in gray hair, or that it may prevent melanocytes (stem cells involved in creating new hair) from delivering pigment to your hair. While there is some limited evidence backing these possibilities, and while many doctors believe stress can hasten graying, this has not been proven conclusively. Hair turns white when the color-producing cells in the hair root stop producing pigment, such as Melanin (which is what gives hair its color). Genetics may outline when and how this process happens in each person. It has also been suggested that a build up of hydrogen peroxide around the hair follicles can bleach color from the hair as a result of oxidative stress. However, stress has many other negative effects on your health (including possible hair loss) so reducing stress is still a good idea. Sometimes when a person's hair turns white prematurely, it's the result of an underlying autoimmune or genetic condition. Some specific conditions that are sometimes linked with hair turning white include vitiligo (a thyroid disorder) and anemia. Problems with the pituitary gland can also be a factor. Therefore, if you're hair is turning white prematurely and you experience other symptoms attached to any of these conditions, you should see your doctor.
A: Know that white hairs are mainly due to genetics. Understand that there is no proven link between stress and white hair. Check for any potential underlying conditions.

Article: Determine whether your theory is valid, and make sure that your experimental results are repeatable. If you accept the theory, you should not be able to disprove it with the tools and information at your disposal. Do not, however, try to spin your theory into absolute fact. You will likely amass a lot of information in your quest to prove your theory. When you are confident that your results are repeatable and your conclusions are valid, try to distill your theory into a paper others can study and understand. Lay out your process in a logical order: first, write an "abstract" that summarizes your theory; then, lay forth your hypothesis, your experimental procedure, and your results. Try to distill your theory into a series of points or arguments. Finally, end the paper with an explanation of your conclusions. Explain how you defined your question, the approach you took, and how you tested it. A proper report will walk the reader through every relevant thought and action that brought you to your conclusion. Consider your audience. If you want to share your theory with peers in your field, write an formal paper explaining your results. Consider submitting your work to an academic journal. If you want to make your findings accessible to the general public, try distilling your theory into something more digestible: a book, an article, or a video. In the scientific community, theories are not generally considered valid until they have been peer-reviewed. If you submit your findings to an academic journal, another scientist may decide to peer-reviewthat is to say, test, consider, and replicatethe theory and process that you have put forward. This will either confirm the theory or leave it in limbo. If the theory survives the test of time, others may eventually try to expand your idea by applying it to other subjects. Your thought process does not need to end after you share your theory. Indeed, you may find that the act of writing up your ideas forces you to consider factors that you've been ignoring. Don't be afraid to keep testing and revising your theory until you're completely satisfied. This may mean more research, more experiments, and more papers. If your theory is large enough in scope, you may not ever be able to flesh out the implications in their entirety. Don't be afraid to collaborate. It can be tempting to keep your intellectual sovereignty, but you may find that your ideas take on new life when you share them with peers, friends, and advisers.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Draw a conclusion. Share your results. Understand the peer-review process. Build upon your theory.

Article: Stretching your muscles at least once a day will increase your flexibility and mobility, which will allow you to handle the ever-changing demands of a hike. Stretching also helps to expand the muscles of your rib cage and diaphragm, which will help develop a greater lung capacity for hiking.Stretching also helps release tightness in your muscles after a long hike or a challenging workout.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Stretch regularly to improve flexibility and lung capacity.
