In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Show your parents that you care by being attentive when they talk to you. Stand straight with your arms relaxed at your sides. If your parents think you are not listening, then they are more likely to get angry and assume you do not care. Examples of body language that signal a disrespectful attitude are: Crossing your arms and looking the other way. Tapping your foot impatiently while they are talking. Rolling your eyes when you disagree with something. Staring at them aggressively, or glaring at them. Let your parents say what they need to say before you respond. Don't interrupt them in the middle of a sentence if you disagree with something they have said. Instead, wait until they have finished speaking. Once they are finished talking, ask, "May I say something, please?" It is ok if you don't understand what your parents are trying to tell you. If you find yourself in this situation, repeat back in your own words what they said to you for clarification purposes. This way, both you and your parents will be on the same page, and miscommunication is less likely to occur. Say, for example, "What I heard is that you want me to finish my homework and chores before I hang out with my friends. Is that correct?"
Summary: Avoid disrespectful body language when your parents are talking to you. Avoid interrupting your parents while they are talking. Ask for clarification.

The first step from detangling from a toxic person is admitting what the relationship is. Even if you've decided to ditch a toxic friend, you may still be hanging on to certain notions about your friendship. Be honest with yourself that the relationship is toxic and does not benefit you in any way. Not only will this help you abandoned a toxic friend, it will help you have higher standards in the future. Think about what you get, if anything, out of the relationship. Chances are, you no longer have fun with this person. They are probably a drain on you. You probably feel exhausted after spending time with them. Accept you cannot make them change. Toxic people can sense when someone is pulling away, and will try to do things to get you back in their fold. Remind yourself that a toxic person is unlikely to change, even if they swear they will. This will prevent you from getting dragged back into the relationship. Mixed feelings are normal and to be expected, but that does not mean you should continue a toxic friendship. For example, you might truly admire or love your friend, and the your friend might have some admirable traits, but that doesn't mean that the friendship can't be toxic. It is okay to love a friend, but to still want to move forward. Breaking off any friendship is tough, and abandoning a toxic friend can be particularly rough. Your friend may try to deny wrongdoing or talk over you. Making a script ahead of time, and practicing, can help you stay calm and on track when confronting a toxic person. Write down all your thoughts first. Then, look over what you've written. Try to pull out the most important thoughts and form a few clear sentences explaining why you're ending the relationship. Practice your script a few times. You can practice in front of a mirror or just recite the words to yourself. You do not want to be reading off the script when you confront the person, so try to have your words more or less memorized before confronting your friend. You want to make things clear when breaking off a toxic relationship. Toxic people can be very clingy and controlling and may not take no for an answer easily. Being as clear as possible can help you sever ties on no uncertain terms. You don't have to be brutal. Even if this person has hurt you tremendously, being unnecessarily aggressive can escalate the situation into a fight. Try to be clear without being insulting. State your feelings, and your expectations from here, as firmly as you can. For example, "I feel like I'm not getting anything out of this relationship. I do care about you, but it's becoming too hard for me to maintain this relationship. I think it would be best if we go our separate ways." Decide where you want to go from here. Make a list of your personal boundaries ahead of time, and make sure to make these clear to the friend. If you don't want them, say, contacting your further, make this clear. Never apologize for having boundaries. These are important to a healthy relationship dynamic. State your boundaries as clear as you can. For example, "I want to let you know, I don't want contact for awhile. I need time and space to heal. I would like you to refrain from texting and calling me in the future." If you need to express boundaries to others, do so. For example, you may not want to see this person at group events. Let others know. For example, "As you know, I'm breaking off my friendship with Gillian. It's fine if you still hang out with her, but let me know ahead of time if she's going to be at a group event. I don't want to see her for a bit because I need the space."

One-sentence summary -- Acknowledge the truth about the relationship. Form a script and practice it. Be as direct as possible. Make your boundaries clear.

Problem: Article: You need to know this before before you can choose the right moisturizer. To figure out your skin type, first wash and dry your face and wait an hour. Then, note how dry or oily your skin is. A more detailed guide can be found here. Once you know your skin type, there are a few basic categories into which your skin will likely fall. Most skin will range from 'oily' to 'dry,' with 'normal' between the two. The other two main categories are 'sensitive' and 'mature.' Moisturizers for dry skin are generally petroleum or oil-based. Oily skin calls for a water-based moisturizer. It should also be noncomedogenic to prevent your pores from clogging. Normal skin also needs a water-based moisturizer, but one which contains some oils, though much less than dry skin needs. Sensitive skin needs a moisturizer with medicinal or soothing properties. Look for moisturizers with chamomile or aloe, but stay away from those with fragrances, dyes, or acids. For older mature skin, you should look for a petroleum-based moisturizer rich in oils. There are many moisturizers on the market designed for mature skin that contain ingredients to help reduce wrinkles as well. Try out body butter for a natural, oil-based option. It is quite common for a person's skin to be a combination of skin type categories. Your dermatologist will be able to prescribe a moisturizer tailored to your skin's needs. They will also be able to recommend additional skin care practices.
Summary:
Determine your skin type. Find an appropriate moisturizer. Consider seeing a dermatologist for a prescription, especially if you have chronic dry skin.
