Q: A casual and lowkey way to communicate with your crush is to like their pictures and posts so they know that you saw them. But don't overdo it and like a ton of their posts at one time or they may think that you're strange or possibly a stalker. For example, don't like any posts or pictures that they posted before they added you as a friend or they'll know that you were searching through their old stuff and may not want to talk to you. Avoid liking your crush's comments on other people's posts or they may think that you're obsessed with them. When you've had a few conversations with your crush, it's appropriate for you to also make comments on their social media posts. Keep the comments lighthearted and friendly so they'll feel comfortable enough to reply or comment on your own social media posts. Don't write overly long comments. Keep them short and sweet. Avoid attacking someone else who comments on their posts. You may not know their relationship, so it's not appropriate for you to add your opinion. Try not to flirt or post over-the-top compliments or it could come off as creepy and weird. Social media is great for starting casual conversations with your crush without coming on too strong. Post something that you think they'l like and tag them. Tag them in a post that you see that you think they'll enjoy. They can then comment on it and you can keep the conversation going. If your crush is into animals and you see a cute post, like a fluffy cat or an animal doing something adorable, tag your crush so they can see it and respond. Tag your crush in things that you know they'll like, don't tag them in stuff that is overly flirty or mushy or it could drive them away. Use social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to tag people. Many social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram have a feature that allows you to send a message directly to people. Send your crush messages to talk to them there, but make sure you don't overdo it or they could block you and you won't be able to send them any messages. Don't try to flirt with them if you've just met them or it could push them away and prevent any future conversations.
A: Like your crush's posts on social media so they can see you. Comment on their social media posts. Tag your crush in a funny or interesting post so they can comment on it. Send your crush a direct message to talk to them.

Article: Studies have shown that our emotions are reinforced and perhaps even driven by our facial expressions: smiling can make you feel happy; frowning can make you feel sad. If you're feeling down, try smiling for at least 30 seconds to see if it helps boost your mood a little. You might even try smiling in the mirror and making silly faces you might even get yourself laughing. Redecorating can help you feel as though you're making a fresh start. You can do this even if you don't have any money, simply by rearranging your room, or giving it a thorough clean and getting rid of things you no longer need. Cover your walls with things that inspire you for example, pictures of places you'd like to visit, or people who inspire you or make you feel happy. Find your favourite photo of you and someone (or some people) you love. If it's not already printed out, print it and frame it, and put it in a prominent place in your home. Take some alone time once in a while and treat yourself. Buy yourself that book you've been wanting to read. Take a few hours to sit in a comfy chair and read it while sipping your favourite tea. Have a bath in epsom salts and put on a nice moisturizer on afterward. Have a spa day. If you feel uncomfortable in your body, you'll likely have trouble enjoying yourself. Try doing daily exercises like looking in the mirror and naming 5 things you love about yourself not 5 things you hate. If you can't name 5, name as many as you can. Each day try to increase the number until you can list 10 or 20 things about yourself that you like. Almost no one will love everything about themselves; just try to like as much as you can. You are beautiful in your own unique way. The popular saying, "to give is better than to receive," is true for many people. Studies have shown that the same parts in our brain light up when giving gifts as when receiving them. Examples of good deeds: Try volunteering for a cause you believe in, even if it's only for a few hours a month. Help a friend, relative, colleague, or neighbor with something you know they could use help with for example, mowing the lawn, organizing their files, driving to the grocery store, packing up to move. Sometimes you need to get out of your head. Clean your house, doodle until you've filled a page, dance around to your favourite song, or sing at the top of your lungs to it. Allow yourself a few moments of distracted enjoyment as often as you can no matter how bad you feel or how much you feel you may not deserve it.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Smile. Redecorate. Pamper yourself. Love the skin you're in. Do a good deed. Distract yourself.

Article: If the mistreatment doesn't stop once you've stood up to the boys, you might have to involve an adult. Don't feel guiltyyou gave them fair warning about what you would do. Pull aside an adult and explain the situation. Remember to also tell the adult that you've already politely asked the boys to stop. If the person you tell doesn't do anything, tell someone else. You can always try a parent, another relative, a teacher, a coach, or a community leader. In the future, try to limit the contact you have with the boys that keep mistreating you. If they keep a certain schedule or routine, try to work around it so that you don't have to be near them. For example, if the boys usually hang out in the courtyard between classes, you might start hanging out in the gym or using an empty classroom. Bullies are less likely to mess with you if you're in a group. Start walking through your neighborhood or school with your siblings or friends. That way, if the boys attempt to mistreat you, you will have support. If they see you with other people, bullies will likely back off. Plus, if others witness the mistreatment, they can back up your claims to an adult. If the boys continue to mistreat you, you could try ignoring them. Sometimes, when you don't give people the reaction they hope for, they lose interest and move on. Give it a try. The next time you see the boys, look the other way. If they try to interact with you or say anything, just keep walking.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Tell an adult. Avoid the boys. Walk in a crowd. Try to ignore it.
