Q: Tell your teacher you need to use the restroom so that you can leave class a few minutes before the bell rings. This will give you time to go to your hiding place or to leave the school grounds before everyone is in the halls between classes. That way, there will be fewer people to see you skipping and it is less likely that you will get caught. To excuse yourself from class a few minutes before the bell, tell the teacher that you have a music lesson/sports practice, that you need to go and take medication, or that you desperately need to use the bathroom. The best thing about saying that you need to go to the counselor is that nobody will ask you why because that is private information and they'll just let you go without interjection. Tell one of your closest friends that is in the class you're skipping that you're not going to be in class because of some believable reason. Then if the teacher asks, your friend can chime in and let the teacher know why you're absent and the teacher won't become suspicious or keep thinking about it. Have your friend say that you are home, sick or that you are at a doctor's appointment with your mom. Remember that you can get in big trouble if you get caught, so you need to have a plan. If you can't come up with a good plan, maybe reconsider skipping in the first place. If you drive to school, try to remember to park off campus on the day that you are planning to skip. Most schools have closed parking lots, meaning that you can't take your car out of the school parking lot without a note until school is over. If you think it's possible that your parents might drive by the school parking lot during the day to make sure your car is there, it might be a better idea to park at school and just walk somewhere when you skip class. That way, your car will still be at school when your parents check up on you.
A: Leave class a few minutes early. Say you have to go see the school guidance counselor. Have an alibi. Park your car off campus.

Q: Take a seat at the front of the class. Listen to your teacher and create a steady stream of notes. Ask questions and participate as often as you can. The information that you receive in class usually serves as the foundation for your homework, so make an effort to actively listen and learn. Avoid checking your phone, email, or social media during class. Try to find something interesting within the subjects that you might consider "boring." For example, if you dislike history but enjoy fashion, you might find the history of fashion and dress really exciting. Ask your teacher about it and see if you can use this interest in your homework. Write down everything your teacher says if they announce the assignment in class. If they give out a hand-out, read over it closely to see if there is anything that you are missing. If you sit down to work on the project and are unsure about something, reach out to your instructor or a classmate clarification. Give every piece of homework your best effort, even if you don't feel particularly confident in the final product. When in doubt, make an educated guess using the information that you do understand. Homework is, in part, about developing a skill set, so your instructor will most likely appreciate your attempt. This is a good practice to follow as it will help you on most tests as well. It is usually better to leave nothing blank on an exam, as your instructor may be able to award you partial credit for the attempt. As soon as you finish an assignment, set it aside for a few moments. Then, come back to it and look it over for any mistakes. You can also ask your friend, roommate, classmate, or parent to take a quick glance over the assignment as well. This is especially helpful with essays, as they may catch an error that you overlooked. Repeat aloud or in your head, "I can do this," if you get frustrated. Take a few deep breaths and then jump back into the assignment. Remind yourself that homework isn't intended to be easyit should challenge you. Think about your long-term goals and remember that all of your hard work will pay off in the end. No matter how stressed out you are, it is important that you turn in your own work. Don't ask your friends to give you the answers or to help you when they are not supposed to. If you do this, you may get caught, and you will definitely be less prepared for the quiz or test later. After a long day and night it is really easy to walk out the door and forget your homework on the table. To prevent this, as soon as you finish a piece of homework, put it in your backpack or bag. Then, take a quick glance inside your bag before heading out in the morning just to make sure everything is there. Have a designated area where you put projects that are "in progress" so you don't confuse them with homework that needs to be turned in.
A: Pay attention in class. Take note of the assignment details. Try to complete every assignment. Check your final work. Encourage yourself. Never cheat. Check that you have your finished homework.

Q: The ringer volume affects your phone ringer, your notification sounds such as new texts and email messages, and your alarms. If you're using an iPad or iPod Touch, this will adjust the media volume instead. If you are playing a song, watching a video, or playing a game, the volume buttons will adjust the media playback volume on your device. Not all apps will show the volume indicator when you are adjusting the volume. When the switch is moved down, exposing the orange color underneath, your device will be put in silent mode. Pushing the switch up will restore volume.
A: Press the volume buttons while no media is playing to adjust the ringer volume. Press the volume buttons while media is playing to adjust the media volume. Use the switch next to your volume buttons to toggle Silent mode.

Q: To try to get the foreign object dislodged, you need to push your fist and hand into your diaphragm or stomach area. Use a quick j-shaped motion, in and then up. Repeat multiple times. If this does not dislodge the foreign object very quickly, you need to try to add more force with a stable object. In your immediate area, you need to find a stable object that is about waist high that you can bend over. A chair, a table, or a counter top will work well for this. With your hands still clasped in front of you, bend over the chair, table, counter, or other solid object. Brace your fists between the chair and your abdomen and drive your body against the solid object. This will greatly increase the force you apply to your diaphragm, which will be more effective to help dislodge seriously stuck foreign objects. You may not be able to dislodge the object during the first try. You need to quickly repeat pushing yourself onto the stable object until the object is removed. You should return to normal breathing once it is removed. Although it is very scary, it is better if you stay calm. Panicking will only increase your heart rate and need for air, which will make it worse. Once you have it dislodged, sit down and catch your breath. If you find that you are uncomfortable or your throat is sore, you may need to see your doctor. If you cannot get it dislodged, call 911.
A:
Drive your fist in and up. Add force with a stable object. Repeat.
