Q: Giving honest feedback can be intimidating; many will react badly to anything they might perceive as criticism. Understand this before you approach someone for feedback. Make them feel at ease by letting them know you appreciate honesty from them more than an attempt at not hurting your feelings. "Hey Bill, I wanted to know your thoughts on how I did in the group project we worked on. Don't worry about hurting my feelings, I want to know exactly how I did so I can improve." Of course, you'll want to hear feedback on past blunders, but only so you'll know how to avoid them. Ask how the situation could have been avoided. This will show that you're looking for feedback in order to improve on yourself rather than dwell on past mistakes. "Hey Professor X, I think I'm having some difficulty in meeting the course's expectations. Can you let me know how I'm doing, and what I could be doing better?" This will show to others you're willing to receive it. Take frequent opportunities to ask for feedback, such as during an annual review, office hours with a professor or before an important project. This will also make people more comfortable when you do ask them for feedback; they'll already know you're thick-skinned enough to warrant honest truths. There's a key difference between asking for feedback regularly and always needing validation. If you find yourself asking for feedback after every little thing you do, people will think you're insecure and might not give you honest feedback. Bring some timely, important information concerning projects you're working on. This will make the interaction more of a conversation, making each of you more comfortable, while also making you come across as more helpful. This is especially important when getting feedback from your boss; it'll make you seem more independent and reliable. If you've overcome a setback in completing an assigned task, this could be useful information to bring. It might help avoid this setback in similar tasks in the future.
A: Insist that they prioritize helpfulness. Focus on what you can be doing in the future. Ask for feedback regularly. Bring something to the table.

Q: If you are a school administrator, meet with your faculty and stuff to cover what bullying is, what the school's bullying policy is, and what the consequences are to help everyone identify and prevent bullying. Ask to have more staff present in the hallways, and encourage teachers to address bullying in their own classrooms as soon as they see it. You can also encourage students to speak to a teacher or counselor they trust if they're being bullied. If you are a parent that's concerned about the atmosphere in your child's school, ask to meet with a school administrator or go to your district's next school board meeting and share your concerns. If kids are involved in healthy and safe school-sanctioned activities, they're less likely to drop out of school or become involved in unhealthy relationships. Ask the child what their interests are and help them find a school activity that matches those interests. For example, if they like movies, encourage them audition for a play or get involved with the drama club. If they like music, the band or choir can be a good choice. If cost prevents some students from participating in such activities, look into establishing a scholarship fund that covers some or all of the cost for those activities. Some schools can't afford to offer a lot of sports or activities. If that's the case, work with the community to provide activities for kids. Talk to the city about converting an empty lot into a community park. Talk to leaders at the community center about setting up free activities like dance, yoga, or art classes. The more invested kids feel in their own communities, the less likely they are to become delinquent within those communities. Designate a spot on community boards for a youth representative. You can also set up a youth committee, which is responsible for coming up with ideas to include and serve youth in the community.
A: Prevent bullying in schools. Encourage participation in school-sanctioned activities. Establish community activities for kids. Encourage kids to participate in community development.

Q: Different iTunes sections have differing amounts of free content. The Music store no longer has free songs available unless there is a special promotion, while the TV section still offers free episodes. The App Store and the Book Store have the most free content. Select the content type from the top of the iTunes window. You can click the "..." button to see additional types like Books and Apps. Once you've selected a type of content, click the "iTunes Store" tab. You'll find this on the right side of the iTunes window after opening the store. Depending on what Store you are viewing, it could say "Free Books" or "Free TV Episodes". If you're using the App Store, click the "Top Free Apps" link to browse through the most popular free apps available. In the iTunes U store, most of the content is free, so there is no "Free" section. Many podcasts are free as well, so there is also no "Free" section for them. There is no longer free music available in the Music store. Different sections will have different amounts of items. There are usually a couple dozen TV episodes available, and hundreds of Books. The "Top Free Apps" section of the App Store will display the top 200 free apps, though there are many more free apps than this. You'll see the "Get" button next to any item that you can download for free. When looking at a TV episode, you may have to scroll through the season to find the episode that is free. Clicking "Get" will begin downloading that content to your computer, which you can then use or transfer to your iOS device.
