Go to your local hair care store, and you can find extensions for your hair of all different colors and textures. Choose whatever type of synthetic braiding hair suits your liking. Some popular brands for micro braiding are Wet and Wavy and Milky Way Que. Rat tail combs are perfect, but any comb with a sectioning tool at the end will work. If you don't have this kind of comb, you can buy one from a hair care store, or you can use a regular comb and the end of a pen or a bobby pin to part and section your hair. You will use these scissors to trim the loose pieces of hair from the ends of the braids. If you do not have hair cutting scissors, you can use regular scissors as well. You will use the spray bottle to wet the roots of your hair so that you can part your hair into clean sections. If you do not have a spray bottle, you can wet the section of hair with your fingers and water. Any plain hair gel will work. You will use the gel to slick your hair before you add the extension to your hair and braid. The gel can also be used on the ends of your new braids to keep them slick. You want your hair to be as healthy as possible before you braid your hair because putting micro braids in your hair can damage it. Deep condition your hair a few times before you do your micro braids. You can also do a hot oil treatment on your hair to protect it against damage. Once again, you want your hair healthy, and you don't want to braid your hair with split ends. So go to a hairstylist, and tell him/her that you are getting your hair cut for micro braids. You will probably just want to get your ends trimmed. Avoid any hair cuts with layers or thinning.

Summary: Buy approximately 5 packages of synthetic braiding hair. Find a comb with sectioning tool. Get out a pair of hair cutting scissors. Find or buy a spray bottle for water. Get out your hair gel. Protect your hair prior to braiding. Consider getting your hair trimmed.

This will not only be helpful for work or school officials, but may be required by the police should you choose to report the incident to them. Effective documentation should include assessing the nature and prevalence of bullying at school and tracking suspected and confirmed incidents of bullying. Try to be as specific as you can when you're addressing the nature of what took place. Record the dates each event took place as well. Peer mediation is one common strategy for dealing with issues between students. You may be required to start with peer mediation per your school's policy. There are serious disadvantages to peer mediation. Bullying is more than a conflict; it's victimization. During peer mediation the child who is being bullied should understand that the school is doing everything they can to stop it and that no one deserves to be bullied. If you feel intimidated or as if any of the blame is being placed on you during peer mediation, stop the session immediately. For more help in getting authorities within your organization to address bullying, try getting an outside group or the media involved. Contact groups such as the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which can offer their help, particularly for discriminatory based bullying. You may also want to contact your local media outlets. They often have a call for action number or email address, where you can outline the problem you've been facing. It's not a guarantee that they'll feature you on their station, but it's a good avenue to try when no one else will listen. If peer mediation has failed or if authorities within your organization aren't taking your complaint seriously, it's time to go to the police. Have your documentation on hand, which outlines the incidents that took place and when they occurred. Call ahead to see who you should speak with and what day/time they are on-duty. For school aged kids who have experienced bullying, help to make sure other kids don't have to go through the same thing by enrolling your school in an anti-bullying program. One such program is PACERs, Champion Against Bullying. Ask someone within your organization, be it a principal, teacher or guidance counselor, to sign up.

Summary: Document incidents of bullying. Try peer mediation. Get outside groups involved. Report it to police. Register your school for an anti-bullying program.

In the formula, xn{\displaystyle x_{n}} = the term in the sequence you are trying to find, n{\displaystyle n} = the position number of the term in the sequence, and {\displaystyle \phi } = the golden ratio. This is a closed formula, so you will be able to calculate a specific term in the sequence without calculating all the previous ones. This formula is a simplified formula derived from Binet's Fibonacci number formula. The formula utilizes the golden ratio ({\displaystyle \phi }), because the ratio of any two successive numbers in the Fibonacci sequence are very similar to the golden ratio. The n{\displaystyle n} represents whatever term you are looking for in the sequence. For example, if you are looking for the fifth number in the sequence, plug in 5. Your formula will now look like this: x5{\displaystyle x_{5}}=5(1)55{\displaystyle {
rac {\phi ^{5}-(1-\phi )^{5}}{\sqrt {5}}}}. You can use 1.618034 as an approximation of the golden ratio. For example, if you are looking for the fifth number in the sequence, the formula will now look like this: x5{\displaystyle x_{5}}=(1.618034)5(11.618034)55{\displaystyle {
rac {(1.618034)^{5}-(1-1.618034)^{5}}{\sqrt {5}}}}. Remember to use the order of operations by completing the calculation in parentheses first: 11.618034=0.618034{\displaystyle 1-1.618034=-0.618034}. In the example, the equation becomes x5{\displaystyle x_{5}}=(1.618034)5(0.618034)55{\displaystyle {
rac {(1.618034)^{5}-(-0.618034)^{5}}{\sqrt {5}}}}. Multiply the two parenthetical numbers in the numerator by the appropriate exponent. In the example, 1.6180345=11.090170{\displaystyle 1.618034^{5}=11.090170}; 0.6180345=0.090169{\displaystyle -0.618034^{5}=-0.090169}. So the equation becomes x5=11.090170(0.090169)5{\displaystyle x_{5}={
rac {11.090170-(-0.090169)}{\sqrt {5}}}}. Before you divide, you need to subtract the two numbers in the numerator. In the example, 11.090170(0.090169)=11.180339{\displaystyle 11.090170-(-0.090169)=11.180339}, so the equation becomes x5{\displaystyle x_{5}}=11.1803395{\displaystyle {
rac {11.180339}{\sqrt {5}}}}. The square root of 5, rounded, is 2.236067. In the example problem, 11.1803392.236067=5.000002{\displaystyle {
rac {11.180339}{2.236067}}=5.000002}. Your answer will be a decimal, but it will be very close to a whole number. This whole number represents the number in the Fibonacci sequence. If you used the complete golden ratio and did no rounding, you would get a whole number. It's more practical to round, however, which will result in a decimal. In the example, after using a calculator to complete all the calculations, your answer will be approximately 5.000002. Rounding to the nearest whole number, your answer, representing the fifth number in the Fibonacci sequence, is 5.
Summary: Set up the formula xn{\displaystyle x_{n}}=n(1)n5{\displaystyle {
rac {\phi ^{n}-(1-\phi )^{n}}{\sqrt {5}}}}. Plug the number for n{\displaystyle n} into the formula. Substitute the golden ratio into the formula. Complete the calculations in parentheses. Calculate the exponents. Complete the subtraction. Divide by the square root of 5. Round to the nearest whole number.
