INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you're dating someone and you found out they don't make six figures and they've been cheating on you and no, they don't speak French fluently, odds are your ex is just a sad excuse for a human being. People who lie to make themselves sound good or to get away with certain behavior are just small-minded, inconsiderate, not-worth-your-time morons. They're not pathological liars. People deserving of this title lie about everything. They lie about things that don't impress people, that don't make them feel good about themselves or others feel good about themselves or really that serve any purpose at all. They'll tell you they saw a duck on the lake yesterday and there's no lake. It's just like breathing. They do it naturally. For most, lying is comfortable. It's the truth that's scary. If they actually are a pathological liar, it's just the symptom of a bigger problem. Possible reasons for their behavior are: A dysfunctional family (usually not enough attention received) Sexual or physical abuse in childhood, or ongoing abuse Impulse control disorders (kleptomania, pathological gambling, compulsive shopping, etc.) Personality disorders (Cluster B personalities -- sociopathic, narcissistic, borderline, histrionic, etc.) Substance abuse or substance abuse in family Many pathological liars have a serious lack of self-esteem and that's why they started lying in the first place. They got to present an image to the world that they were actually proud of, instead of the one they go home to at night and secretly disdain. While the liar doesn't deserve your pity, it's useful to understand the root of the problem. When you're dealing with yours, keep this in mind. It will help you stay more logical, rational, and calm. Instead of dealing with a careless jerk, you're dealing with a careless jerk who hates himself. Knocks him down a peg. Above all, take care of yourself first. You may be in a very serious relationship with this person, but that does not give them free reign over your emotions and your happiness. If you need to leave, get out. They don't deserve you. They can't make you happy. That's just how it is. You're not abandoning them; you're protecting you. If you do choose to stay, stay strong. You cannot help them if you cannot help yourself. Make sure your happiness is getting the spotlight. It's not your job to fix them or to change them. If you do want to stay, take it a day at a time. But always keep you in mind! {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/3\/38\/Deal-With-a-Compulsive-Liar-Step-15Bullet01.jpg\/v4-460px-Deal-With-a-Compulsive-Liar-Step-15Bullet01.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/3\/38\/Deal-With-a-Compulsive-Liar-Step-15Bullet01.jpg\/aid647440-v4-728px-Deal-With-a-Compulsive-Liar-Step-15Bullet01.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":"728","bigHeight":"546","licensing":"<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>License: <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/">Creative Commons<\/a><br>

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You also need to create a citation to use in the text. In this case, you just need the author and the date, but you'll start with the author. You can either use the name in the sentence and open a parenthesis for the date or place both of them in parenthesis, separated by a semicolon to indicate they are 2 separate items. If you're incorporating the organization name into the sentence, it will look like this so far: According to the World Health Organization (WHO; The abbreviation in brackets tells the reader you'll use the abbreviation WHO throughout the rest of the article. If you want to cite your source at the end of the sentence, it will look like this so far: According to a recent report, health objectives are falling (World Health Organization [WHO], Once you've told the reader you'll use the abbreviation WHO by adding it after the name, you must use it in later citations. APA rules require that you continue to use an abbreviation after you introduce it. Put in place of the full name. You'll just use "WHO": According to the WHO ( According to the report, the main cause is a rise in infectious disease (WHO, The date is also used in an in-text citation to help the reader determine which report you're referring to. Place it after the organization's name in parenthesis. You can use "n.d." if there isn't a date. Your first citation within a sentence will look like this: According to the World Health Organization (WHO; 2011), Your first citation at the end of a sentence will look like this: According to a recent report, health objectives are falling (World Health Organization [WHO], 2011). In subsequent entries, it will look like this for a citation within a sentence: According to the WHO (2011), Subsequent citations that come at the end of a sentence will look like this: According to the report, the main cause is a rise in infectious disease (WHO, 2011). When using a quotation, you'll need to add a page or paragraph number after the quotation. APA also encourages you to use a page or paragraph number when you paraphrase, but it's not required. Use a page number if you can find one and a paragraph number if you can't. Place the page number in parenthesis after the last quotation mark but before the period. For instance, you'd add the page number like this: According to WHO (2011), "infectious disease is a widespread problem" (p. 63). If your whole citation comes after the quote, you can use this method: The report stated the following: "Infectious disease is a widespread problem" (WHO, 2011, p. 63). To cite a paragraph, write it this way: According to WHO (2011), "infectious disease is a widespread problem" (para. 30).

SUMMARY:
Begin with the author. Abbreviate WHO when you mention it again. Add the date after the author's name. Place a page number or paragraph number at the end.
