Write an article based on this "Offer ideas for how you think the issue can be fixed. Apologize to your friends if it you upset them, or played a role in the hostilities. Follow through with the steps that you all decide upon to resolve the problem. Go to a trusted adult if the conversation goes badly and you need help. Consider distancing yourself from your friends, if needed."
article: Once you and your friends have shared your perspectives on the issue, work together to brainstorm how you all can move forward positively. Find ways to support each other and work through the issue together. Here are some examples: "Maybe next time you want to be alone, you tell me directly, instead of bottling it up. And I promise to listen right away instead of pushing you to hang out." "If you can work on telling me that you're mad instead of snapping, I can work on being more understanding and willing to let things go. I know that the stuff with your brother's illness has been really hard on you." "I can't fix your problems with your mean mom. But I can offer you my place to sleep over whenever things are rough. We could have more girls' nights. It might be good for both of us." It is incredibly important to sincerely apologize, if you really value their friendship and want to maintain it. This can be challenging if it turns out they are upset with you over something that you feel you were "in the right" to do or say. If this is the case, you may have to come to a middle ground with them through discussion. Make sure you give your apology genuinely. Your friends likely know you well enough to know when you are lying, so do not do them the disservice of lying in your apology. Show your friends that you value them by helping to make sure this issue does not arise again. If you do not follow through, then your friends receive the message that you do not care about them. If your friends continued to be mean to you during the conversation, and showed no interest in resolving the issue, then it is time to implement your back-up plan of going to a trusted adult. Share as much as you feel comfortable with sharing about the situation so the adult can have a thorough understanding of what has been going on. Be open to his/her ideas and suggestions about how to handle the situation. Especially if it is a guidance counselor or teacher, he/she is likely trained in resolving these kinds of issues. Again, if the conversation did not result in any positive outcomes, and your friends scoffed at you and showed no interest in repairing the friendship, then it might be time to consider distancing yourself from them. Find new friends who truly care about you and value your friendship.Make plans with them instead of with your old friends. You can choose to explain to them what has been going on or not, but it will be helpful to have a support system. Be friendly toward them to try to keep the relationship amicable, but do not make spending time with them a priority. Do not make excuses for their behavior when it is unwarranted. If your friends are truly just being mean to you because they can be, then you need to let those relationships go.

Write an article based on this "Write your essay out of order. Write the body paragraphs. Write the conclusion Write the introduction Revise your writing."
article:
In many cases, writing your essay from start to finish is harder than writing it out of order. Also, you'll likely find yourself revising the early parts of your essay once you complete the body of the paper. Instead, you can opt to write your sections out of order. However, you always need to write your thesis statement before you can get started. Body paragraphs first. Work through all that information you've been compiling and see what kind of story it tells you. Only when you've worked with your data will you know what the larger point of the paper is. Conclusion second. Now that you've done all the heavy lifting, the point of your essay should be fresh in your mind. Strike while the iron's hot. Start your conclusion with a restatement of your thesis. Intro last. Open your introduction with a "hook" to grab the reader's attention. Since you've already written your essay, choose a hook that reflects what you will talk about, whether it's a quote, statistic, factoid, rhetorical question, or anecdote. Then, write 1-2 sentences about your topic, narrowing down to your thesis statement, which completes your introduction. The first sentence of a body paragraph (often called the topic sentence) prepares the reader for what you'll be covering in that paragraph, the middle of the paragraph presents the information you've gathered, and the last sentence draws a low-level conclusion based on that information. Be careful not to overstep the bounds of the paragraph by making a much larger point about your two topics; that's the job of the conclusion paragraph. Organize your paragraphs using one of the approaches listed in the "Organizing the Content" part below. Once you have defined your points of comparison, choose the structure for the body paragraphs (where your comparisons go) that makes the most sense for your data. To work out all the organizational kinks, it's recommended that you write an outline as a placeholder. Be very careful not to address different aspects of each subject. Comparing the color of one thing to the size of another does nothing to help the reader understand how they stack up. . When the essay's done, the reader should feel like (s)he learned something and know that the essay is done, not be looking around for missing pages. The conclusion should open by giving a brief, general summary of the points you covered in the body paragraphs, then draw a larger conclusion about your two subjects. (Be careful to base your conclusion in the data and not your personal preferences, especially if your essay prompt has instructed you to keep a neutral tone.) The last sentence of the essay should leave the reader feeling that all the different threads of the essay have been drawn together in a cohesive way. Be aware that your various comparisons won't necessarily lend themselves to an obvious conclusion, especially because people value things differently. If necessary, make the parameters of your argument more specific. (Ex. "Though X is more stylish and powerful, Y's top safety ratings make it a more appropriate family vehicle.") When you have two radically different topics, it sometimes helps to point out one similarity they have before concluding. (i.e. "Although X and Y don't seem to have anything in common, in actuality, they both ....") . Start with a general point that establishes the similarity between the two subjects, then move to the specific focus of the essay. At the end of the introduction, write a thesis statement that first announces which aspects of each subject you plan to compare and then states what conclusion you've drawn from them. If time is not an issue, the best way to revise your work is to leave it for a day. Go out, have something to eat or drink, have fun - forget about the paragraph/essay until tomorrow. Once you settle down to revise, remember that the two most important things to do are to find problems and to fix them. These should be done separately (i.e., go through and find all the problems you can without correcting them, then tackle them during a second run-through). Although it is tempting to do them at the same time, it is smarter to do them one by one; this ensures you have checked everything and, ultimately, makes the job quicker and more efficient. Even the best writers know editing is important to produce a good piece. Your essay will not be your best effort unless you revise it. If possible, find a friend to look over the essay, as he or she may find problems that you missed. It sometimes helps to increase or decrease the font size while editing to change the visual layout of the paper. Looking at the same thing for too long makes your brain fill in what it expects instead of what it sees, leaving you more likely to overlook errors.
