Problem: How to change a dip tube
Check when your water heater was manufactured.
Nearly all gas and electric water heaters manufactured between 1993 and 1997 were installed with defective dip tubes. The dip tubes were made of a material that quickly degraded and disintegrated, causing dip tube failure. OPTIONS:
- Because of this, if your water heater just came with a defective dip tube, you'll need to turn it back on and try again. This has been the only issue for most gas and electric water heaters.
- Look on your water heater for the serial number. This is probably on the back of your tank.
- If your water heater has been in operation for more than a year, are it not defective? Look to ensure that your water heater is not defective by looking to see whether the cap is damaged or rusty. Small holes in the caps may indicate defect.
- Check your water heater's manual to find out what type of dip tube you need. If your water heater was produced in 1997, consult the manufacturer's manual for additional information, such as if you have a house or storage facility that is regularly equipped with dip tubes.

Problem: How to treat skin rash
Examine the spread and location of the rash.
Rashes can start for a variety of reasons, but most of them are easily treatable. The treatment of a particular rash will depend on the cause. OPTIONS:
- When skin rashes first appear, people are typically on their feet for long periods of time, usually at least eight to 12 hours a day. They may be itchy, stinging, or cramping during the day and not be much more painful over time.
- First look at the way the rash is distributed. Where is it? When does it show up? If the rash is generalized all over your body (has spread everywhere), it's more likely to be an allergy to something you've eaten, either a medication or food.
- In general, rashes are red blisters that blister quickly. The blister will feel slightly tacky and slimy, as though it is full of hot food.
- To determine the exact cause of your rash, ask your dermatologist to advise the best way to treat your rash. Gently pat or rub at the rash.

Answer: First look at the way the rash is distributed. Where is it? When does it show up? If the rash is generalized all over your body (has spread everywhere), it's more likely to be an allergy to something you've eaten, either a medication or food.

Problem: How to be a rebellious teenager
Reflect on your situation.
Think about your life and see if you can determine an aspect that you find irritating or disappointing. If it helps, you can write out a list of things you're not satisfied about. OPTIONS:
- Think about your relationship with your parents, your friendships at school, and your extracurricular activities. It is normal to be rebellious, but you should be rebellious in a way that benefits you personally.
- For example, you could list a flare-up of your temper or a crooked outfit. After considering all these things, start changing your mind.
- Why is every aspect of your life annoying? Maybe you get frustrated when you're not told what to do or complain that your little brother threw soap on a door. List down an aspect of your life that drives you crazy and that doesn't take up anything you get out of your your life.
- Ask yourself how you feel and what you think will change with time. If you're becoming a rebellious teenager, you may be stuck with unpleasant or boring situations-don't cut yourself short by having an undesirable situation just because the change happens more often.
Answer: Think about your relationship with your parents, your friendships at school, and your extracurricular activities. It is normal to be rebellious, but you should be rebellious in a way that benefits you personally.
