In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Sad feelings are the hallmark of depression, especially feeling sad when there is no cause for it. This feeling of sadness can weigh on your family member's soul, and watching for signs of this extra sadness is key for identifying depression. Listen to them when they talk to see if they sound like they are very sad but they don't know why. They may also exhibit signs of tearfulness, feeling empty, and feeling hopeless. Losing interest in things that used to get them excited is a classic sign of depression. Watch their behavior and notice if they start replying "no" frequently to activities that they used to love, as well as acting listless and bored most of the time. These are usually things like hobbies and sports. People who are listless and have no interest in anything can also be lethargic, not wanting to move or do physical activity. People with depression are sad about life and discouraged about things that used to make them happy, so they are not happy. Being unhappy can make you generally irritable, getting upset about small things on a regular basis. If someone in your family can't seem to ever be happy, they may be depressed. People with depression tend to go to one extreme or the other when it comes to sleep. They either can't sleep at all or sleep way too much. The inability to sleep is called insomnia, and if someone in your family starts complaining about insomnia, watch for other signs of depression. Sleeping too much is a way to escape having to feel negative feelings most of the time.
Summary: Notice if your family member has sad feelings. Notice if they have a loss interest. Notice increased irritability and angry outbursts. Watch their sleeping patterns.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: When trying to make purple paint, yellow or green pigments can be disastrous. For example, if a red paint lists a yellow pigment, it will have a yellow color bias, meaning that the color yellow will affect any paint you try to mix the red paint with. Think about it this way: when you mix yellow paint with purple paint, you end up with a brown or gray color. If yellow is present in the red or blue you choose to use, the same thing is going to happen in the end.
Summary: Read the labels of your paints to find ones that contain few pigments.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you are getting upset with a parent, take a time-out. Politely excuse yourself and walk into another room or outside for a breath of fresh air. Do some deep breathing exercises to stimulate your body's natural stress relief response. Inhale through your nose for 4 counts. Hold it for 7 counts. Then, exhale the air through your mouth for 8 counts. Repeat this technique until you start to feel calm again. Be respectful and use language that minimizes your chances of offending your parent(s) and getting into trouble. If you use statements that start with "you," they can seem argumentative. "I" statements give you the chance to express how you feel and respectfully disagree with your mom and/or dad. Try this: "I feel mistrusted when you follow me in the car. I try my best to follow the rules, but it doesn't help if you don't try to trust me." Or, "I'm feeling really pressured about having to go to your alma mater for college. Can I have more time to think this over?" One of the main reasons why you may fight with your parents is the neither of you feels heard. If, by this point, you have been allowed to express yourself, return the favor by listening to their points-of-view as well. Refrain from using any sarcasm when something is said that you don't like or agree with. Follow these tips to listen effectively: Put away any distractions, such as turning off phones or TVs Turn to face your parent(s) and make occasional eye contact Reflect open body language by uncrossing your arms and legs and leaning toward the speaker Wait until the speaker is done before replying Make clarifications by asking questions to ensure that you got the correct message If you're a teen who finds yourself arguing with your parents, you may feel as if you are at war. No matter how difficult your relationship is with your parents and how rarely you see eye-to-eye, they love you and probably have your best interests at heart. Although it may feel as though you are on different sides, they just want the best for you.
Summary:
Keep your cool. Use "I" statements. Practice active listening. Remember that they love you.
