Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Decide why you want a girlfriend. Be mature for your age. Introduce yourself. Find opportunities to spend time together. Ask her about herself. Hang out with her friends too. Ask her out when the time is right.

Answer: As a kid, it's important that you're trying to get a girlfriend for the right reasons. Trying to get a girlfriend just to look cool in front of you friends isn't fair to yourself, and it's certainly not fair to her. If there's a girl you have your eye on, make sure you want to be with her because you like her for who she really is. In the end, nothing else should matter as much. As a general rule, girls mature faster than boys, and things tend to stay that way until the end of being a teenager. With that in mind, throwing spitballs and acting like a clown isn't going to impress girls very much. You're going to have to act like a grown-up to prove to any girl that you're worth taking seriously as a boyfriend. You can still goof off with your friends, but try to make a point of acting grown-up in most other areas in life. This includes getting good grades and being punctual for school. If you're having trouble figuring out how to act like an adult, pick a couple of male role models in your life and try to take after them. They could be a father, uncle, teacher, anyone, so long as they're responsible and show a lot of maturity. If you haven't directly met the girl yet, you shouldn't waste too much time to introduce yourself. Once you think you've got the maturity down pat, make your existence known to her. While you might be wondering how you should go about it, usually the simplest approach is the best one. Here's a few examples: Go up and say "Hi!" casually. this is the simplest thing you can do, and it's usually the best. Most girls are bound to feel pretty flattered by the fact you're giving them the attention. Ask an ice-breaking question. Asking a casual question is a good way to start conversation with someone. Even something like asking for a pencil in the middle of class, and asking the time can be a good way to break the ice. Following up your introduction with a quick compliment is good, because it immediately shows you're interested in her. It might sound like a brave thing to do, but no one's ever going to reject a compliment in their right mind! Once you're on speaking terms with the girl, you should find opportunities to get to know her better. This can be very easy if you go to the same school as her. If you're in the same classes, make a point of sitting next to her-- that way, you two can collaborate on class projects. Sitting down together at lunch is good too, as it's a casual way to get to know each other. While you're getting to know her, make sure to ask lots of questions about things, whether it's her opinions, her goals or a bit about her life. All of these things will help you understand who she is. In turn, telling her about yourself will give her a better idea of what a unique and amazing person you are. Be patient with this process. You shouldn't be going into this purely to get a girlfriend. Instead, you should be focusing in on getting to know her. Enjoy spending time with her! She'll be able to sense if you're just talking to her because you want a girlfriend. In this time, you may well find that you're not as interested in her anymore as you thought you were. If this happens, don't try to force it to go any further; some girls you meet are going to be best kept as just friends. Girls place a lot of importance on what their friends think. If you want her to be your girlfriend, it goes a long way to have her friends like you. If you're not part of the same social circles, find an opportunity to spend time with them. That could mean asking to go with them to the mall, or even just sitting with their group at lunch if you go to the same school. While you want to get to know her friends, make sure not to pay more attention to them than her. This is especially important if her friends are girls. If you give them too much attention, she might get the wrong impression you've got a crush on one of them! This is a pretty crucial moment. Most of the time, if asking out a girl goes wrong, it's because it was rushed, or happened too soon. By the time you tell the girl how you feel, it should already be obvious to the two of you that you like each other. With that in mind, you shouldn't try asking unless you already have a pretty good idea she'll say yes. Keep in mind that someone saying they like you would put you on the spot, too. Even if she does like you, she might get scared or feel awkward with that. Don't be too alarmed if she says something like that; keep hanging out with her and being her friend. If she sees that sincerity in you, she'll probably become a lot more comfortable and say yes in time. Of course, there are other situations where it will be plainly obvious she isn't interested. This isn't always to do with you; there are lots of reasons a girl might not want to date someone. If that happens, you should shrug it off, think about your best qualities, and keep your eyes peeled for a new girl to connect with.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Learn the basics of what schizophrenia is. Understand the concept of hallucinations and delusions. Know some of the other side effects of schizophrenia. Understand what can exacerbate the problems associated with schizophrenia. Learn about how schizophrenia is treated. Keep your expectations realistic.

Answer:
Schizophrenia is a severe brain disorder that can be kept under control with medication and therapy. Schizophrenia changes the way a person thinks, feels, and generally perceives the world. For this reason, it is very common for people with the condition to have hallucinations and delusions. To have hallucinations means to see or hear things that others cannot. To have delusions means to accept false beliefs as true. An example of a hallucination would be hearing voices that other people cannot hear. An example of a delusion would be a person with schizophrenia thinking that someone else was reading his or her mind. Although loss of contact with reality (psychosis) is a typical sign of schizophrenia, it is not the only one. People with schizophrenia may also exhibit loss of interest and drive, speech problems, depression, memory difficulties, and mood swings. Exacerbation of symptoms usually occurs when people stop treatment. It can also be the result of substance abuse, other diseases, psychosocial stress, and adverse effects of the drug being used for treatment. Although schizophrenia cannot be cured, symptoms usually improve with proper treatment. As many as 50% of patients receiving medical treatment experience significant recovery. It is also important to remember that treatment of schizophrenia requires more than just drugs. When treatment is combined with psychological and psychosocial therapies, patients can recover more quickly. The reality is that while 20 to 25% of people struggling with schizophrenia will experience remission, and about 50% will continue to have persistent or intermittent symptoms. Many people think that with love and support they will be able to cure their loved ones. While love and support do play a large factor, it is also important to check your expectations and make sure that they reflect the reality of the disease.
