Take your time in deciding when to take people into your confidence, and if it makes you more comfortable, choose just one person to divulge your secrets to first. This person can help pave the way to being honest with your whole group and can help be a bridge to understanding between you and them. Most high schoolers don't know the difference between sex and gender, simply because nobody has taught it to them. They may be a little awkward at first, but that is because this is new to them, not because anything is wrong or bad about you. Expect your friends and loved ones to ask a lot of questions. Give them the best answers you can, but don't feel like you have to share anything you want kept private. Educating people can be tiring. It helps to come up with a "script" that you can rattle off anytime and to have a website URL or two that you can encourage people to check out in order to learn more. Having their ideas of gender overturned can be a little shocking, and they might react less positively than you hoped. Take a deep breath and give them a little time. Once they've had a little time to process, they will show their true colors. If they realize that they overreacted and apologize, then it means they probably do support you and are worth your trust. If it has been a week and they're still not accepting you, then it probably isn't going to happen. They don't have the strength to accept you, which is more about them than you. Keep in mind that some of your friends may need to unlearn things they've been taught by their parents or other authority figures. This may take them some time, but it's possible. Unfortunately, there are people out there who disregard the feelings of others and mistreat people who are different from them. While this can be painful, try to remember that their actions are a reflection of them, not you. If they don't appreciate how wonderful you are, it's their loss. Unfortunately, some people won't like you because you are transgender. Remind yourself that sometimes people get scared or angry when they see someone who is braver than they are. Choose to feel sorry for people who are rude or cruel. They may be going through something themself and are jealous that you're so confident in being you.

One-sentence summary -- Surround yourself with accepting people and open up to them. Be prepared for questions but don't feel pressured to answer them. Look for people's second reactions, not their first. Don't take it personally if someone is inconsiderate, rude, or cruel.

Q: Place the pan or skillet you will be using to cook the pizza over medium high heat. Add a teaspoon or so (about 4.92 ml) of cooking oil and swirl so that the cooking oil coats the bottom of the pan. You can also use two equal sized pans if you want to cook both pizzas at the same time. Other than a skillet, you can also make stovetop pizza using a tawa, a thin metal pan common throughout parts of Asia. Once the pan has heated, carefully drop one pizza dough circle into the pan and cook for about 1 minute until you see bubbles forming on the dough and the edges getting slightly golden. If the bubbles are large, you can deflate them by poking them with a spatula. You also can keep them if you wish; they will turn crispy when fully cooked. After the one minute of cooking is up, flip the dough circle over using a spatula. Then spread half the pizza sauce over the dough except for the outer two inches (5 cm) or so, as this will be the crust. Sprinkle on half the cheese and add half the pizza toppings. After you have added all the pizza toppings, place the lid on top of the pan or skillet you are using and turn the heat down to medium. Covering the pan traps the heat so that the cheese can melt and the toppings can cook. Leave the pan or skillet covered for 4-5 minutes. After the five minutes are up, take the lid off the pan. If the cheese has melted and the bottom of the pizza looks golden brown, the pizza should be done. If not, replace the lid back on the pan and check every minute or so until the pizza is ready. Once the pizza is ready, use a spatula to take it out of the pan and place it on a cutting board to cool. In the meantime, make another small pizza using the other dough circle. Once both pizzas are cooked and have cooled enough to eat, slice and enjoy your pan made pizza!
A: Heat a large pan. Cook the dough on one side. Flip the dough. Cover the skillet and turn down the heat. Cook for 4-5 minutes. Place the pizza on a cutting board and cool.

Article: Sometimes parents don't even realize the effect they have on their kids. Be sure to express your feelings to your parents when the argument is over. Avoid bringing it up during the argument, which may only make things worse if they feel guilty. They may also blame the other parent if emotions are high. Try to be calm while expressing yourself. Avoid egging them on or trying to guilt trip them. Your aim is to help them understand what you're feeling so they will reconsider their actions. You're not trying to get payback. Research shows that bitter disputes between parents can impair the emotional development of children. Psychologists have known for years that a secure attachment between parent and child is important for healthy development. Recent research suggests that perceived security between caregivers is also significant. Unresolved conflict between parents can cause anxiety, depression, and behavioral problems. Some disagreements are natural and may help to solve problems. Other kinds of fighting hurt everyone involved, damaging relationships and creating feelings of insecurity. Here are the characteristics of different kinds of fighting: Good: compromise. Good fights end with people agreeing to do something differently in order to make things better. For example, if they think dinner should start at different times, they can compromise by choosing a new time that they can both agree on. Good: positive statements despite having a difference of opinion. Disagreeing doesn't have to mean disliking each other or not appreciating things about each other. For example, one of your parents might say, "I'm angry that you forgot to take out the trash, but you normally do a good job helping out around the house." Bad: personal insults. For example, name-calling and insulting each other's ability to be a good parent/partner are harmful ways to handle conflict. Bad: stonewalling, or refusing to acknowledge the other person. The silent treatment can be just as bad as yelling, because it leaves unresolved tension in the air and teaches poor communication skills. This reasonable request can help spare you from the emotionally damaging impact of your parents' arguments. Your parents fighting in front of you disrupts the stability of your home environment. It also teaches you that it's okay to engage in "bad fighting" with people as a way of trying to resolve conflict. Tell your parents that it would be less painful for you if they took arguments to their room or another private place. Parents who have difficulty expressing their needs without engaging in "bad fighting" can benefit from seeing a professional therapist. Couples counseling can help people address many different issues they may be having, such as: Communication difficulties and not understanding each other. Practical issues such as finances. Conflicts about how to raise children.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Tell your parents it hurts to see them fight. Educate them about the effects of fighting. Ask them to learn about good and bad fighting. Suggest they argue in private. Mention couples counseling or family therapy.

Article: If you have a stove-top oven, you can clean the stove surface with baking soda in the same way you would the oven. Simply let baking soda and water/vinegar sit overnight and wipe down in the morning. Remove grates if possible on a gas stove. Also note that you want to avoid allowing baking soda and water to drip down into the ignition area, so keep baking soda to a paste and apply carefully on gas stoves. Remember to wipe down the cooking surface thoroughly with a clean damp cloth once the baking soda and grime is removed, then let dry. A glass-top electric stove will smoke easily from any baking soda residue or other moisture when it is turned on.

Treat a stovetop in the same way.
