article: Math class might not be your favorite pastime, but it can be a great place to make friends. One of the benefits to being a teen is that you go to school with hundreds of potential friends. The people in your classes are going to be close to your age, and if nothing else, you'll have that class in common. Start looking around the room to see if anyone in the class seems interesting or friendly. You could create a study group for a class. While you're studying and sharing notes, you might find that you have more in common with people in the group. Outside of school, you can look for people your age out in the community. Go out to places where teens often hang out (e.g. pool) or volunteer in the community. You could also get a job at popular hang out spots. For example, if you decide to work at the movie theater, you will probably meet quite a few people coming in and out to watch movies. An even better option might be to work as a lifeguard at a pool. Most schools provide a host of extracurricular activities for students. Take advantage of this friend making opportunity by choosing an activity that most interests you. Chances are that other teens in the same activity will have things in common with you. If you are interested in music, you might want to join a band or choir. If you like to run, try joining a track team. These groups will give you opportunities to make new friends. Outside of school, communities often have their own groups and events for teens. Take advantage of these gatherings to give yourself the opportunity to make friends that live near you. This is a particularly good way to make friends in the summer or during other school breaks. For example, if your neighborhood has something like community garden club, consider joining to make new friends.

Write an article based on this "Clean the area gently with soap and water. Apply over-the-counter topical cream if necessary. Leave the burn uncovered unless it is very deep. Leave small blisters alone. Wear loose clothing around the area. Take over-the-counter pain reliever, if necessary."
article: After you've gotten the swelling and the pain under control, clean the burn with some mild soap and water. Dry the area and keep the burn clean to avoid infection. To help keep the swelling down and the burn as clean as possible, it's a good idea to use a basic salve or balm that you can get at the store. Aloe-vera gel or cream is often used, as well as low-dosage hydrocortisone. If you have blisters, use an antibiotic topical cream and cover the blister with a bandage for about 10 hours before you uncover it. Gentle, scent-free moisturizer is sometimes used on mild burns. This helps keep the skin on the burned area from cracking. Let the burn heal some before you apply moisturizer. Very mild burns don't need to be covered to help them heal. Keep the burn clean and dry, and it should heal in a few days. If the burn looks deep, however, cover it in a clean, dry cloth. Blistered burns should generally be covered loosely with gauze. If you're in pain, you can use some loosely-wrapped gauze or a Band-Aid to cover the burned area and keep it safe. Never attempt to pop blisters when they form. The blister is protecting the burned area and helping to heal the skin underneath. Blisters will go down in a few days, provided that you keep the area clean and dry. Larger blisters should be checked out by a doctor, who will often lance or remove the blisters, if necessary. Never attempt to do this by yourself. To keep the burn from becoming irritated, try to keep the area open and dry. Wear loose fitting cotton clothes that breathe well and let the air get to the burn. If you've burned a finger or hand, remove any rings, bracelets, and watches from the area, and wear short sleeves. You don't want to agitate the area at all, if possible. If your burns are hurting, taking a pain reliever like acetaminophen or ibuprofen. This can help to reduce swelling as well as control the pain. Use OTC pain medications as directed.

When it comes down to it, the way you will be able to show off your genius computer skills is by solving problems. Troubleshooting is one of the most important skills to have in the IT industry.When you're experiencing a computer issue, start by figuring out what exactly is going on. Defining the problem as "The mouse doesn't work" is too broadnarrow it down to the precise behavior or error message, such as "When I connect the mouse to the USB port, I see a message that says 'This IRQ is assigned to the keyboard." One of the most important skills a genius-in-the-making must learn is how to find information. There's an art to getting accurate information about computer problems with Google. Use quotes (") around exact words and phrases ("this IRQ is assigned to the keyboard" instead of irq assigned to keyboard) to make sure your results match what you are looking for. Using Google to search a single site. If you're looking for information about wireless networking and prefer your results be from Microsoft.com, type mouse problems site:microsoft.com instead of mouse problems microsoft. Filter results by date (often relevant, as computers are always changing) by clicking "Search Tools" at the top of the search results, then change "Any time" to a different time range. While the manufacturer's product pages may be among the first search results, some of the best troubleshooting information will come from user forums. It will not take you long to figure out which sites return good search results and which should be avoided. If your search for information brings you to a page that seemingly has little to do with what you searched, that source will not be useful to you. Don't be afraid to ask questionsbut before you do, try using the forum's "search" feature to reduce the possibility of duplicating an already-resolved thread. Many online forums will not allow you to search their content until you register for an account. Now that you've been practicing your troubleshooting skills, find opportunities to get hands-on experience. Ask people you know if they are having trouble with their computers, and then offer to fix them. Use your new skills to find other people online who've experienced similar issues and try implementing suggested fixes. Computer geniuses learn how to troubleshoot by breaking things. Rather than messing with the computer you use every day, get yourself a test computer (or even bettera test lab with several types of computers) so you can really get your hands dirty.
