Q: Section out a small piece of hair at the front of your head near the hairline. Twist this section 2-3 times in a regular braid, then use your index fingers to add additional hair to the braid. Add more hair every time you criss-cross strands. Keep doing this until you've added all of your hair to the braid, then secure it with an elastic. The trickiest part of French braiding is holding your hair. Try holding a section between your second and third fingers, grasp another section between your first and second fingers, and hold the third section with the palm of your hand. Try parting your hair down the center and making 2 French braids to create texture and contrast in your hairstyle.
A: Braid a small section of hair and gradually add more for a French braid.

Q: Close your eyes as you stand up straight. Along the base of your spine, pretend that there's a string or wire that's traveling from your back to the top of your head. Like you're a puppet, imagine something pulling on that string and forcing your posture to be smooth and straight. Whenever you go to adjust your posture, start with this exercise. Pull your arms backwards to tug your shoulders apart. If you tend to hunch your shoulders naturally, try to develop a habit of pulling your shoulders back so that they're straight and not slumped. Finally, don't keep your shoulders bunched around your neck; instead, let them relax, making your neck and collarbone fully visible. Imagine a measuring tape going from one shoulder to the other. In this scenario, you want the tape to be perfectly straight as it measures the distance. Take a deep breath, pulling your stomach inward as you inhale. When you exhale, keep your stomach tight and pulled in. Don't make your stomach feel uncomfortable, but try to avoid letting it sag. When you make no effort to pull in your gut, you end up adding weight to your appearance overall. Try to get in the habit of sucking in your gut whenever you're standing for an extended period time. Don't keep your legs straight and close together while you walk. Although straight legs might seem more ladylike, you make your posture much more unstable by locking your knees. Instead, aim to plant your feet directly below each shoulder, and walk with a slight bend in your knees. You're more likely to pass out when your knees are locked since the blood in the lower sections of your body can't get back to the heart as quickly. Push your weight forward so you lean more on the balls of your feet than your heel. You can maintain your balance with much more easily this way, Additionally, it's simpler to move forward when your weight is already leaning slightly in a certain direction. Whenever you stop walking for long periods of time, try pushing your weight from one foot to the other, or from the base of your heels to your toes. Don't worry about coming up with some elaborate pose for your arms. Instead, keep your arms relaxed and at your sides. Ideally, you don't want your arms to look clenched or uncomfortable when you walk, as this might appear less ladylike. Don't bend your arms at a sharp angle and swing them close to your chest while you walk, as this doesn't appear ladylike to others.
A: Imagine a string going through your spine to your head. Lower your shoulders and keep them back to look relaxed. Suck in your stomach so you look balanced. Keep your feet separated and your knees bent. Balance your weight so you don't seem unsteady. Let your arms dangle at your sides to maintain balance.

Q: It is important to stand up to bullies in a confident, assertive manner. By showing this confidence and assertiveness, you will be letting the bully know that you won't tolerate their treatment. It is normal to feel upset in response to bullying, but try to avoid becoming upset in their presence, such as by crying or yelling. Bullies often try to get a reaction like this, so it may only fuel the fire. Looking your bully in the eye and saying, "Excuse me?" when they say something rude is a way to catch their attention. This simple, but effective, action may be enough to stop them from continuing their attack. Doing this also shows that you acknowledge the offensive action and aren't willing to let it happen. To avoid starting the conversation with your sibling being defensive, make sure to leave the word "bully" out of your vocabulary during the talk. Instead, simply describe how you feel when your siblings says something or acts in a bully-type manner. Try to maintain a calm, non-accusatory tone to try to keep the conversation productive and non-heated. For example, you could say, "When you put me down, it really hurts my feelings. I would appreciate it if you could stop saying negative comments to me." They may become upset at first, but hopefully after they think about it, they will understand and sympathize with how you feel and stop. Keep in mind that this does not have to be a long drawn-out conversation. Keep it brief and then move on. Allow your sibling some time to process what you have said. Bullies tend to pick one subject and use that as their "go-to" when they criticize. This allows you to plan an effective response to what they say. Once you speak up when they misbehave, they will likely back down. For instance, if they tend to pick on you because of the career path you've chosen, you can say, "I do something I enjoy. I'm sorry you don't like it, but this is what I've decided to do, and I'm going to keep doing it." Practice your response several times so that you are authoritative when it comes time to say it. Ask your sibling to attend a therapy session with you. Going to a counselor may help you and your bully figure out why the hurtful behavior occurs. It may be difficult to encourage them to go, but you may be pleasantly surprised if they agree. To get them to go with you say, "It's no secret that you and I don't get along very well, but I would like to change that. I think if we went to a family counselor, we may be able to work through our issues and have a good relationship."
A:
Stand up to them. Tell them how you feel. Prepare what you're going to say to their insults ahead of time. Suggest therapy.
