Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Peel the carrots and cut into pieces. Cut grooves into the carrot pieces with a knife. Slice the lengths of carrot into coins.

Answer: Take a medium or large carrot, and use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin. After peeling the carrot, use a sharp knife to cut it in half, thirds, or quarters, depending on the size of the carrot. The pieces should be approximately 3-inches (8-cm) long. You don't necessarily have to peel the carrots. If you're using organic carrots, the skin is usually thin enough to eat. Take each section of carrot, and use a knife that you feel comfortable making precise slices with to cut long, shallow wedges along the entire length the carrot piece to form the flowers' petals. You'll want to make 5 to 6 wedges around each piece of carrot. It helps to hold the carrot piece upright when you're cutting out the wedges. Balance it against a cutting board with one hand, and use the other to cut. Once you've cut out wedges around the entire piece of carrot, place it horizontally on the cutting board, and use your knife to slice it into coins that are approximately -inch (-cm) thick. Each coin will be a small flower.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Ease her into conversation. Share regular conversation with her. Use soft communication styles when asking direct questions. Try asking her out.

Answer: Since she's a shy girl, it is important during this stage that you don't force her to talk with you. She might need time to adjust to being around you or to speaking with you, and rushing her into conversation could cause her stress. When checking to see if she likes you, first talk about low-stakes topics, like the weather, teachers, classmates, or daily life. Be patient and it is likely she will become more comfortable with you. It might take time before she's ready to break out of her shell, so be persistent if she is even slightly responsive. Studies have found that people naturally speak more around those that they like and have romantic interest in. When you share conversations with her that go on and on, or if you find her more conversant around you, take this as a sign of interest. Also, speaking with her more should put her more at ease around you, which will make asking her out less difficult. Some topics you can use to get her started include: Future plans Hobbies and sports Family Favorite class Dream job After weeks of wondering, "Does she like me?" you might be ready to ask, but with a shy girl, this might not be the best decision. Try to approach whatever question is on your mind in a way that gives an escape if the question is too uncomfortable. Whatever you do, do not comment on how shy she is, as this could make her even more self-conscious and less willing to talk. Instead of asking, "Want to go to a movie with me?" you might instead mention, "That movie looks really great. I was hoping to see it next week when it comes out, but I don't have anyone to go with." If you see a lot of the signs and signals of romance in your relationship with her, and you believe that she likes you, trust your instincts. And remember, though rejection is rarely enjoyable, if you never try, you'll never have a chance of finding that special someone.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Be careful what you share online. Disengage location settings. Be cautious when meeting in person. Do your homework. Back out if you're uncomfortable.

Answer: Make sure you have appropriate privacy protections in place. Remember that even photos, comments, and locations shared to only friends can be screenshotted and passed along to others. You run the risk of everything you share to be shared with the world (and saved forever), so think twice before you post. Predators may have access to everything you share. You can do privacy check ups on all social media sites and make sure you are sharing what you want to share. You can also go back and edit or delete old posts if you wish. For more information, check out the privacy settings of your social media platform, like Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter. Report harassing comments or images to the social media platform. Delete anything you are not comfortable with, and block any users who are making you uncomfortable. Do not let others know where you are located in posts or profiles. Showing your location lets a potential predator easily find out where you are. If you are comfortable sharing your location, you could also broaden your location to a metro area rather than a specific town. For example, "Bay Area" or "Greater NYC." Many people are meeting others through the internet today, either through dating websites or friend groups, and most of the time, these get-togethers go off without a hitch. However, you still need to proceed cautiously the first time you meet someone you met on the internet. A person can easily misrepresent who they are online. Meet the person in a public place, like a busy coffee shop, for the first time. Tell a friend your plans, and have them call or text you while you're there to check in. Come up with a code word to use if things are not going well, and the friend can help you leave the situation easily. If you need to travel in order to meet this person, do not tell the person where you are staying. Stay at a hotel or a friend's house, not with them. Utilize your own transportation during the trip. Spend some time planning for your meeting so that you can be comfortable. Develop backup plans if the meeting does not go well. Do an online search. Look up the person you are about to meet to verify they have given you the correct information. You may wish to look them up on the National Sex Offender Public Website to see if they are a registered sex offender. Have an exit plan. Tell the person you can only meet for an hour, or have another event to attend. Use your own transportation so you don't need to rely on the person for a ride. It's okay to lie to get out of an engagement. It's also okay to be impolite if you are feeling harassed; for example, if the person won't take "no" for an answer. Trust your instincts and get out of the situation. For example, say you are on a first date. Your date keeps insisting you get the bill and head back to their place. You are not interested and want to leave. You could say, "I can't. I promised my roommate I'd let her dog out tonight." If your date keeps pressing you, just say, "No, I'm sorry," and leave as soon as you can.
