Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Go places so you can meet new people. Invite people who seem compatible with you to hang out. Give your potential friends your full attention while you're with them. Focus on getting to know the other person. Give your friendship time to grow.

Answer: The best way to make new friends is to meet a bunch of new people. Attend activities or events in your area that seem fun, or join a club or Meetup that's focused on an interest of yours. This will help you meet like-minded people who might become good friends. Here are some ways you could meet potential new friends: Take classes. Attend events related to your interests. Take up a new hobby. Volunteer. Join a faith group. When you meet a person that you think might be a good friend, ask them to hang out so you can get to know them better. Choose a casual, low-pressure activity that you think you'll both enjoy. Extend invitations to different people until you feel like you've made some good friends. You might invite them to go bowling, attend an art exhibit, visit a museum, go to an improv show, attend a local concert, or play billiards. When you're hanging out with your new friends, stay off your phone and don't bring up past issues with other friends. Instead, stay focused on the person you're talking to. This shows them you're genuinely interested in them and can help you build a friendship faster. Put your phone on silent so you're less distracted by notifications. Don't worry about labeling your friendship or finding common ground at first. Just ask the person questions about themself and really pay attention to the answers. Over time, you'll naturally find common ground or will realize this friendship isn't a good match for you. Trying to apply labels too soon in a relationship puts too much pressure on it, and it might scare off your new friend. It's normal to want to make an instant connection, but that rarely happens. Be patient because it takes time to form a real connection with someone. Keep spending time with your new friends so that you can deepen your bond. There's no official timetable for a friendship. Sometimes you're fast friends, while other times the friendship takes a while to develop.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Make sure you have enough time and patience. Start at the right time. Take him out immediately. Confine him to a small area. Watch for signs of potty time. Create a tight schedule. Give plenty of praise.

Answer: Raising a well-trained and well-behaved dog takes time and commitment over many years. Before you get yourself into this undertaking, you should think about your schedule and if you have time for a puppy. Your puppy will also take time to learn new commands, so be patient with him as he learns. Your puppy will not know how to be well-behave naturally. However, he will want to please you, which will help you when you train him. Potty training can take anywhere from four to six months to a year. Your puppy can begin to be potty trained when he is around 12 to 16 weeks old. At this point, his bladder is developed enough that he can learn to hold it. Once you bring your new puppy home, you need to take him outside immediately to show him where he needs to go to the bathroom. This will help him start associating being outside with going to the bathroom. Once he does, give him lots of praise and affection, which will link praise with going to the potty outside. When he goes out, let him sniff and explore the yard until he goes to the bathroom. When your puppy is first potty training, you need to make sure he is confined to one general area when you aren't home or watching him. This will cut down on accidents in other parts of the house while he learns. Common places are washrooms and bathrooms. Your puppy will show signs that he needs to go out. Look for signs of panting, pacing, sniffing around, or barking. These are all signs that he needs to go to the bathroom. When these signs appear, take him outside right away so he can do his business. When your puppy is learning, you need to take him out often. Take him out right when he gets up and every 30 minutes to an hour throughout the day. Take him out right after feeding and when he wakes up from a nap. He should also go out right before he goes to bed. Try to take him to the same spot in the yard every time you take him out. His scent there will prompt him to go to the bathroom. His size may play a role in the timing of when he goes out as he ages. If your dog is small, he has a smaller bladder and will need to go to the bathroom more, even when he is grown. This may make it seem like he can't hold it, but he is just smaller. When your puppy goes out and uses the bathroom, give him a lot of praise. You can even go overboard with how much you praise him. It will only make him want to please you more. You can even give him a treat every couple of times you take him out. Never wipe his nose in it if he has an accident in the house. This is cruel and will not teach him anything.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Become aware of individual risk factors. Provide encouragement and praise. Strengthen problem-solving skills. Offer support. Implement educational programs. Check your language.

Answer:
There are certain risk factors that may increase the likelihood of a young person becoming violent. By becoming aware of these risk factors, you can better recognize when a young person needs additional support, guidance, or therapy to prevent violent outcomes. These factors include: A history of violent victimization A history of early aggressive behavior Low IQ Poor behavioral control Involvement with drugs or alcohol Exposure to violence and conflict within the family Rather than focusing on discipline, punishment, and negative reinforcement, put your efforts toward the positive. Praise good behavior, encourage individual growth, and work towards emphasizing positive attitudes. When you foster strong problem-solving skills, you give children the skills to handle all sorts of situations. By helping kids evaluate and identify problems (and brainstorm solutions), role-modeling good problem-solving behavior, and allowing for natural consequences you can encourage and strengthen problem-solving skills. Evaluating problems: When a problem occurs, help your child to identify it and think about ways it could be solved. Role-modeling good problem-solving: Openly discuss strategies with your child. For example, if your child brings home a bad grade, don't rush to punish them. Instead, talk with them about how you can work together to bring up the grade. Allowing for natural consequences: Rather than always preventing negative consequences from affecting your kids, children will learn more if they experience the true consequences for their actions. For instance, if a teenager spends all of their money on the first thing they desire (and you refuse to give them more), they will learn the effect of blowing their money without thinking. Allow students the space to work out problems and conflicts on their own, but also be available to offer support when needed. Offer support for conflict resolution at home, and make sure there are additional resources for character building, conflict resolution, and psychological support in schools. Troubled individuals often have a history of social problems, and identifying and helping them resolve these issues can prevent school violence. Educational programs that focus on self-esteem, self-control, and strategies for solving conflicts without violent action can provide a positive influence. Such programs have been proven extremely effective in encouraging empathy and decreasing instances of violent activity. Advocate for the implementation of such programs in your school. The way that you speak has a profound effect on your children or students. If they hear you using pejorative language about women, for example, they will internalize the idea that women are "less than." Check in with the way you speak about others, particularly marginalized groups, as well as your attitude toward violence. Whenever you discuss violence with children, you should be as honest as possible without disclosing graphic details. You should always emphasize that violence is not the answer.
