In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You deserve to live your life out and proud, but always put your safety first. Unfortunately, coming out to your parents can have harmful consequences if you're a minor. For instance, your parents might kick you out or say very harmful things to you. Make sure you're sure your parents won't threaten your wellbeing before you tell them you're LGBTQ+. To figure out if they might be ready, consider their responses to your questions about their LGBTQ+ beliefs. Always listen to your intuition! If you feel afraid to tell them, wait until the timing feels right. Before you tell your parents that you're LGBTQ+, arrange for a place to stay and someone to talk to in case things go wrong. Additionally, determine how you'll support yourself if your parents cut you off. While it's scary and painful to think about these things, it'll help you protect yourself if things don't go well. For example, you might arrange to stay with a supportive family member who can help cover your costs until you're ready to be on your own. Alternatively, you might stay with a friend's family. Talk to your parents when you and they are calm and in a good mood. Avoid coming out during a busy or emotionally tense time, like a holiday, a big family event, or an argument. You want your parents to be as receptive as possible to what you have to say. Think about what you'll say ahead of time, so you don't get tongue-tied. Ask a trusted friend or adult to help and support you during this conversation. Your coming out may come as a shock to your parents. They might react with sadness, confusion, or denial. Try to understand where they are coming from, and be as gentle as you can during your conversation. Reassure them that you're happy, and tell them you can still do things like get married and have kids. Your parents might get upset or may try to argue with you about your LGBTQ+ identity. This can be very painful, but it doesn't mean they won't eventually accept you. Listen to them if they're not threatening you, and try to reassure them that what you really need from them right now is for them to just love you. Try not to argue with them, as this might escalate the situation. Instead, say something like, "I understand that you feel that way, but I hope you'll understand that this is who I am," or "I hear what you're saying, but I don't agree with your beliefs. I know you love me, and I just hope you'll accept me as I am." Your parents may need time to think about what you said and to accept that you're LGBTQ+. Your relationship with them might feel awkward and strained for a while before it starts to get better. Be patient with them as they let go of their previous goals for you and accept who you really are. Your parents may be afraid of losing the child they love, so show them you're still the same person. Live your life like you normally do. Talk about your day, discuss your plans, and invite your parents to do things you'd normally do as a family. Acting the same as you always have will help your parents feel "normal" about your relationship again. Your parents may fear that being LGBTQ+ will make you a target for bullying or that you won't live a fulfilling life. These fears may make them fight to change who you are. Help them understand that these fears are unfounded. Tell them that what's most important is that you have their love and support. You might say, "I can see why you'd be worried about me, but I'll be okay. I just need you to love me."
Summary: Decide whether coming out is a good idea. Make a plan for how you'll handle a bad reaction from your parents. Find a good time to come out. Be kind and compassionate with your parents as they adjust. Give them a chance to respond, but leave if you're unsafe. Give your parents time to process what you said. Emphasize that you're still the same person. Explain that accepting your LGBTQ+ identity makes you happy.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Most volleyball nets are secured to the ground through floor plates. Locate the holes in each floor plate, insert your Allen wrench, and twist the wrench until you pry the plate loose. You can buy an Allen wrench from most sports supply stores or online. Lift the pole up and insert it into the hole, holding it upright as you do so. As you lower the pole into the ground, it should click into place and stay upright without holding it. Repeat this process with both poles. If the pole does not secure into the ground, the hole may be dirty or blocked. Remove the post and check for obstructions, removing any dust or debris as needed. Twist the volleyball poles at the bottom of the feet to raise or lower its height. If you need to make the poles higher than they can naturally go or your poles don't have adjustable feet, insert volleyball pole spacers at the bottom. The regulated net height for the following volleyball teams are: Co-ed, standing disabled, or men's volleyball: 7 ft 11 inches (2.41 meters). Women's volleyball: 7 ft 4 inches (2.23 meters) Sitting or wheelchair volleyball: 4 ft 11 inches (1.5 meters) Senior volleyball: 7 ft 2 inches (2.1 meters) Children's volleyball: 6 ft 6 inches (1.98 meters) -7 ft 4 inches (2.23 meters) Locate the post hook on the lower half of each volleyball pole. Tie each side of the net rope to the post hook in a knot and thread the rope through the winch leader strap, a strap with a metal connector that hangs on the volleyball pole's side. Grab the winch, the handle jutting out of the pole's side, and turn it until the center of the net reaches the desired height. The center height should be match the regulation requirement for men's, women's, co-ed, or other volleyball groups. If you cannot reach the desired net height, try tightening the winch further or adjusting the pole height again. The volleyball net should have 2 additional net straps: 1 in the middle and 1 on the bottom. Grab the net straps and secure them to the hooks on each pole until the straps are horizontal and parallel to the ground. If you notice any excess rope from the net straps or net rope, loop it over the ropes and tie it in place. This will prevent tripping and injuries caused by the ropes while you play volleyball. Hold the ropes in place with loose knots to make removing the ropes simpler later on. Volleyball antennas mark the out-of-bound lines and help observers call fouls. Position the volleyball antenna over the net's top and secure it in place with a clip or other object, depending on the manufacturer. Although not necessary to play, volleyball antennas can keep the game fair.
Summary:
Remove the floor plates with an Allen wrench. Place the poles into the ground. Adjust the volleyball poles to the required height. Attach the net rope to both poles. Tighten the winch to secure the net. Attach and tighten the net straps. Tie the ropes off to the end posts. Attach volleyball antennas to the net to spot fouls easier.
