Before applying makeup it is especially important to wash your face with a gentle cleanser formulated for your skin type. Removing dirt and oil from your face will help keep your pores clear and lessen the likelihood of blackheads. Make sure your hands are washed and cleaned as well, as you will be touching your face quite a lot and you don't want to transfer dirt or bacteria.

You'll notice that the more you exercise, the less menstrual fluid and pain there is. Be sure to keep your own limit in mind, if you think you are too tired/painful, you need to stop. Sports can help a lot, but with some people, the 'damage' you cause to your muscles, takes longer to heal when you're on your period. Do not risk any injuries and stop when you need to stop. You're feeling unwell and it's not a shame to just lay in bed for three days, if you feel like you have to. You might be able to fake a headache and get some other painkiller, but in case you don't then try these things: doing something you enjoy a lot, watching a funny or scary movie, again with the exercising thing, you'll even find that you might be able to sit a certain way that stretches you stomach and helps with the pain.

One-sentence summary -- Try to be as active as humanly possible during your period. Distract yourself from cramps.

Teens who cut are often depressed, anxious, or under a lot of stress. If your child's mood or self-esteem has taken a turn for the worse, it doesn't necessarily mean they are cutting, but it does mean you should be on the lookout for other signs of a problem. For example, if your child seems more withdrawn than usual, doesn't seem to enjoy doing many things, or says they feel overwhelmed, they might be at risk for cutting. They may also appear depressed, sad, or blue and seem to lack energy to do anything. Consider whether or not your teen is angry and how they deal with their anger. Teens who hurt themselves sometimes do so as a way to deal with negative moods, including anger. Ask yourself what coping skills your teen uses when he or she is feeling distressed. For example, does your teen often go off alone and then come back seeming like they are fine? This may indicate that they have done something to cope, and it is important to make sure that they are doing something healthy. Everyone gets cuts and scrapes now and then, but if your teen seems to get hurt frequently, or if their injuries never seem to heal, they may be cutting themselves. They may also make a lot of excuses about where the marks came from. For instance, they might say something like, "My arms got scratched hiking in the woods" or "My friend's cat scratched me." Marks that look intentional, such as rows of parallel scratches, are typically a sure sign that your teen is cutting. Keep an eye out for bloody tissues or bandages in the trash as well. All kinds of things can be used to cut or scrape the skin knives, razor blades, safety pins, paper clips, and even fingernails. If you notice that your child has an assortment of sharp objects in their room or backpack, it may be a sign that they're cutting. If your teen wears long pants and long sleeves in hot weather, they may be trying to hide cuts on their arms and legs. Other warning signs may include wearing bracelets that hide their wrists and refusing to change in a locker room. If your teen mentions cutting or self-harm, even as a joke, you should take it seriously. Talking about self-injury is a giveaway that the behavior is on your child's mind for some reason. If your teen mentions self-harm, use it as an opportunity to start a conversation. Ask them whether they know anyone who self-injures and how they feel about it. This can give you a better idea of whether your teen is at risk for cutting. Cutting is not the only form of self-injury that teens may use to hurt themselves. Teens may also use things like burning, bruising, or excessive exercise as a substitute for cutting. Be on the lookout for evidence of these types of self-injuring. For example, you might notice a burn mark on your teen's arm, bruises on their legs, or that they are dehydrated and sore from over-exercising.

One-sentence summary -- Pay attention to your teen's mood and how they handle their emotions. Take notice of cuts and scratches. Be on the alert for cutting tools. Notice whether your teen covers up more than usual. Pay attention to any talk about self-injury. Watch for other means of self-injury.

Add a second nut to the hook and bring the pendulum back to where you marked on the paper the first time. When you release the pendulum, start a stopwatch and count the number of oscillations for 1 minute. Repeat the process 5 times, then calculate your average. Notice the difference in the number of oscillations and the average between 1 nut on the hook and 2 nuts on the hook. Add another nut and repeat the experiment to see if even more mass will affect the pendulum's oscillations. Go back to just 1 nut on the hook, bring the string back about 10 inches (25cm), and make a mark on the paper taped behind it so you can repeat the experiment from the same distance. Release the pendulum and count the number of oscillations for 1 minute. Repeat the process 5 times and calculate an average. You may be surprised to learn that the distance (also called amplitude) does not affect the swing rate, or number of oscillations. Try the experiment again from 5 inches (13cm) and find the average number of oscillations to see how much of a difference the distance makes. Slide the look off of the pencil and cut off 10 inches (25cm) of string, tie another loop, and put it back on the pencil. Then bring the pendulum back about 10 inches (25cm) and mark on the paper where you release it from. Repeat the experiment 5 times and find the average number of oscillations to see how the length of the string affects the pendulum. Cut off another 10 inches (25cm) of string to see the difference it makes on the average number of oscillations. The length from which a pendulum is suspended helps determine the speed and regularity of the swings, which is why pendulums have been used to keep time.
