article: It is best to have a serious talk with your friend in private. You do not want to embarrass them in front of your other friends, or else you will look like the bully. Suggest a time when you both are available and ask your friend if they want to hang out. Start by asking them if you can talk about something serious. Bring up the topic in a cautious manner. You should not blame them or accuse them of wrongdoing; rather, tell them that certain things have been causing you stress and anxiety recently. A good way of starting the conversation can be, "Hey, can we chat about something? I want to have an honest talk with you. You're a good friend to me, but recently some things have been happening that have really hurt me. I want to make sure that we can come to an understanding together so that we can remain friends." Beginning your sentences with "I" instead of "you" make your statements sound less accusatory. You do not want to blame your friend because they might respond negatively, and they may even blame you in return. Instead you want to foster an atmosphere of acceptance and communication. Your statements should start with statements like "I think" or "I feel." For example, you can say, "When I hear that I am overweight or chubby, I feel as though I am ugly and worthless." Or you can try saying, "I know that sometimes you like to joke around, but I feel sad when I am told that I am dumb." Invite your friend to be completely honest. Inform them that you will not judge them before asking them why they put you down so often. If they react negatively, emphasize that you want to know their side of the story and that you are not angry at them. You can say things like, "why do you always comment on how much I eat?" or "why is it so funny that I like to read comic books?" You may even ask them how they might feel in your situation: "How would you feel if someone kept making fun of how you do your hair?" Your friend might be confused, surprised, sad, or angry about the conversation. Give them plenty of time to think through their answer and respond. If they say something you disagree with, wait until they have finished speaking before you defend yourself. Do not interrupt them or it will escalate the tension in the room. At the end of your conversation, you should both set boundaries for your relationship. Both of you should come up with ideas of what is and is not acceptable within the terms of your relationship. For example, you may not want your friend to tease you about a crush while your friend might be uncomfortable with how you talk about their family. At the same time, you both might be fine with jokes about each other's habits or hobbies. If you both agree to these boundaries, your friendship will actually become stronger than it was before.

article: "Awaiting orders from Player (1 or 2)." The target grid is the upright grid in between the 2 players. Press the letter key first, then the number key, then "Fire/Enter." A red light will flash to show your missile has been launched. If you hit an enemy vessel, the game reports, "Radar confirms hit at," followed by the coordinate you entered. Replace the white peg on your target grid with a red peg; your opponent will mark the hit on his or her ship at that coordinate with a red peg. If there is no enemy vessel at that coordinate, the game reports, "Radar confirms miss at," followed by the coordinate. Leave the white peg in place. Keep an accurate record of your shots so that you can figure out where your opponent's ships are placed. If you should fire onto a space where you previously recorded a hit, the game will record the second shot to that location as a miss. When all the spaces a ship occupies on the board record a hit, the game will report the ship as sunk. For example, when your Battleship takes a hit to each of its 4 spaces, the game will report, "Target neutralized battleship sunk." (You then have option to whine as in the TV commercial: "You sank my battleship!") At this point, the game announces, "Enemy fleet destroyed. Congratulations, Admiral."

Although platy fish don't require a lot of space, it's a good idea to get a bigger tank than you need if you plan on breeding them. That way, as your platy fish start to reproduce and the fry grow into adults, your tank won't get overcrowded. With a tank that's at least 29 gallons (110L), you'll be able to breed your fish and take your time finding new homes for the adults without the tank getting too crowded. You can find a large aquarium tank online or at your local pet store. Make sure the tank you get has a secure lid on it since platy fish can jump. An overcrowded tank can make your fish stressed and more prone to fighting. Not only will a substrate make your aquarium look better and more natural, it will also provide a surface for beneficial bacteria to grow on in the tank. For your platy fish, you can use any kind of aquarium gravel for substrate, but make sure it's clean before adding it to the tank so your fish don't get sick. To clean your aquarium gravel, rinse it in a sieve over a bucket until the water straining through the sieve runs clear. You can find aquarium gravel online or at your local pet store. Providing shelter is especially important when you're breeding platy fish since the young fry will need places to hide from the adults. Without enough shelter, the young fry may be eaten by your older fish. Also, your adult platy fish will enjoy having some sheltered resting places as well. Try to use live aquarium plants to replicate the platy fishes' natural environment. Include floating plants in the tank, which make great hiding places for young fry. You can purchase plastic aquarium shelters, like small plastic caves or hollowed-out logs, online or at your local pet store. Without a filter, the water in the aquarium will become stagnant and dirty, and there won't be enough oxygen for your platy fish to survive. However, make sure you use an air-powered sponge filter since other types of aquarium filters can suck up and kill small fry. You can purchase an air-powered sponge filter at your local pet store, or you can order one online. This is the ideal temperature range for platy fish. Attach a thermometer to the inside of the aquarium so you can monitor the temperature and make adjustments if necessary. While it shouldn't be difficult to keep the water in the tank within this temperature range, you may need to use a heater if the water is too cold. You can purchase both submersible and hang-on aquarium water heaters online or at your local pet store. Keep in mind that the larger your aquarium, the stronger of a heater you'll need. For a 29USgal (110L) aquarium, you'll need a heater that's between 75 and 200 watts. The colder the room that your aquarium is in, the more watts you'll need. If you're worried about the water in the tank being too hot, you can buy an aquarium chiller to lower the water temperature. using a limited number of platy fish. Cycling an aquarium is the process of starting a natural nitrogen cycle in the tank, which helps filter out harmful ammonia that kills fish. You can cycle your tank by introducing platy fish to it (the fish will kickstart the biological process), but you should only add 1 fish for every 23 gallons (7.611.4L) of water. Then, once the tank has cycled after about 6 weeks, you can add the rest of your platy fish. For example, if you're using a 29USgal (110L) tank, you would introduce 10-14 platy fish into the tank at first. Then, after around 6 weeks, you could add more fish to the tank since the water would be safe enough at that point. Adding too many platy fish before the tank has cycled can put stress on the fishes' bodies and potentially cause them to die. If there are too many male fish in the tank, they might start to fight over the females. Also, an abundance of male fish can stress out your female platy fish, so it's a good idea to have 3 females for every 1 male. Determine the sex of your platy fish when you're buying them and before adding them to your tank since it will be easier than doing it after they're all swimming around in the aquarium together.
