In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You may feel disappointed, sad, or even rejected. These are all perfectly normal feelings to have. They may last for a little while, but they will fade. Express your sadness in healthy ways. Let yourself be upset and even cry. Let it out, and then promise yourself to let it go. Don't tell a bunch of friends, though. For example, don't text your friends about what your crush said or did today. Kids sometimes tease other kids who have crushes. Try writing down your thoughts in a journal at home, and/or listening to music. You may want to choose one best friend who you really trust to keep a secret. Whoever you choose to talk to about your crush, when you are done venting, ask that person to stop you if you start talking about your crush after you decided to let it go. Your parents are adults and their judgment is fully developed. You can trust and confide in them more than you can trust your classmates, because your parents are more mature and want you to live well. Help them to relate to what you're going through. Try saying, "Can you hear me out and be nonjudgmental? I would like someone to talk to." Ask something like, "What mistakes did you make as tweens and teenagers?" and "What did you learn?" This will help remind them of what they went through and how they felt at your age. If they can't think of any mistakes, try asking something else to open up the conversation, like, "How about any funny stories from when you were my about my age?" Try asking, "Who was your first crush?" Ask what your limits are when it comes to socializing with guys outside of school hours. It might not matter if your crush doesn't like you back, if you're not allowed to date yet. Try not to get mad or defensive at your parents' answers remember that are guiding you out of love. Try asking, "Am I allowed to go to the movies with a group of friends that includes a guy? Am I allowed to go on one-on-one dates?" Middle school relationships usually last just a few weeks. Think about this: imagine that he did like you, and you got your hopes up, only to be broken up with twelve days later. That would have be bad for your self-esteem! You won't have to deal with peer pressure to do anything you're not ready for yet. When you break up with someone in middle school, you still have to see them in class, which can be very uncomfortable. You aren't really ready for a relationship yet. Your mind and body are still growing, and so are your classmates. If a guy approaches you and says that he likes you and wants to date you, try saying, "Thanks for thinking of me, but I need to focus on my studies."
Summary: Realize that your feelings are normal. Vent. Talk to your parents about it. Ask your parents about dating. Be glad it didn't work out.

This is the same formula used to graph regular linear equations, but instead of an '=' sign being used, you will be given an inequality sign. The inequality sign will either be <, >, <, or >. Slope intercept form is y=mx+b, where m=slope and b=y-intercept. Having an inequality present means that there are multiple solutions. Find the y-intercept and the slope to mark your coordinates. If we use the example of y>1/2x+2, then the y-intercept is '1'. The slope is , meaning you move up one point and to the right two points. Before you draw it though, check the inequality symbol that is being used. If it is a "greater than" symbol, your line should be dashed. If it is a "greater than or equal to" symbol, your line should be solid. Because there are multiple solutions to an inequality, you must show all possible solutions on your graph. This means you will shade all of your graph above or below your line. Choose a coordinate - the origin at (0,0) is often the easiest. Make sure that you note if this coordinate is above or below the line you've drawn. Substitute these coordinates into your inequality. Following our example, it would be 0>1/2(0)+1. Solve this inequality. If the coordinate pair is a point above your line and the answer is true, then you would shade above the line. If the answer to the inequality is false, then you would shade below the line. If the coordinate lies below your line and the answer is true, then you shade below your line. If your answer is false, then shade above our line. In our example, (0,0) is below our line and creates a false solution when substituted into the inequality. That means that we shade the remainder of the graph above the line.

One-sentence summary -- Use the slope intercept form. Graph the inequality. Draw your line. Shade your graph.

Problem: Article: Memorizing the introduction, key points, and conclusion word-for-word is wise. However, unless your teacher requires it, don't feel like you have to memorize the entire speech verbatim. Reciting a completely memorized speech can feel stiff, so just commit the content to memory well enough that you can explain your ideas clearly and consistently. While it's generally okay to use slightly different phrasing, try to stick to your complete outline as best you can. If you veer off too much or insert too many additional words, you could end up exceeding your time limit. Keep in mind your speaking outline will help you stay focused. As for quotes and statistics, feel free to write them on your notecards for quick reference. Use hand gestures to emphasize key words and ideas, and make natural eye contact to engage the audience. Be sure to switch your gaze every 5 or 10 seconds instead of staring blankly in a single direction. Instead of slouching, stand up tall with your shoulders back. In addition to projecting confidence, good posture will help you breathe deeply to support your voice. Once you've committed the speech to memory, work on making your delivery as engaging as possible. Watch yourself in a mirror or record yourself to make sure you appear confident and natural. Get a second opinion and ask a friend or relative to watch you and offer feedback. Have them point out any spots that dragged or seemed disorganized. Ask if your tone was engaging, if you used body language effectively, and if your volume, pitch, and pacing need any tweaks. Use a stopwatch or cell phone app to time yourself when you practice your speech. Speak clearly and avoid rushing, but work on keeping your speech under the time limit, if your instructor set one. If you keep exceeding the time limit, review your complete sentence outline. Cut any fluff and simplify complicated phrases. If your speech isn't long enough, look for areas that could use more detail or consider adding another section to the body. Just make sure any content you add is relevant. For instance, if your speech on nationalism and World War I is 2 minutes too short, you could add a section about how nationalism manifested in specific countries, including Britain, Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Serbia.
Summary:
Write the main points and helpful cues on notecards. Project confidence with eye contact, gestures, and good posture. Practice the speech in a mirror or to a friend. Make sure you stay within the time limit.
