In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you think your teacher treats you worse than other students, go to your teacher directly. There might be a simple miscommunication you can clear up, or an unhelpful behavior that one of you can change.  Choose a time when neither of you is under pressure. Don't speak to him if there is a line of kids waiting to discuss their grade on a test, for example, or when the teacher is in a rush to prepare for a meeting. If you are too intimidated to speak to your teacher alone, see if the school guidance counselor will join the conversation. If your teacher is doing something that you know the school or your parents would not approve of, you may need to ask your parents to intervene.   For example, your teacher punishes the entire class with weekend detention for something only a few students (not you!) are doing. Any time your teacher makes nasty comments to you or the class that involve race, gender, nationality, or anything of this nature. If you feel your teacher is truly out of hand, and not treating you fairly, you might try keeping a record of incidents as they happen. Write down any hurtful comments, along with the date, your side of the conversation. After you have a long list of complaints, you can go to a parent or the principal about it. It's natural to vent to your friends, and they will most likely agree with you. But if you stir things up, it is sure to get back to your teacher. This make things worse for you, and cause trouble for your friends, as well. Scowling, rolling your eyes, talking back, or walking off in the middle of a conversation will only make the situation worse – a lot worse. And you don't want to give your teacher anything they can complain about to your parents or the principal. Teachers are people, too. Sometimes personalities simply clash with each other – just as there are kids you get along with, and others you can't stand to be around. The best teachers are careful to treat all their students alike, but not all of them do.  Be sure your parents are aware of the problem, in case your teacher complains to them about you. Be as polite as possible, and try to get through each class without incident. You probably won't have to deal with this teacher next year. If you're in high school, this is just one hour out of your day. Although it is extremely annoying to deal with an annoying teacher, don't let it take over your life. When you're not in their class, try not to let it get you down.
Summary: Talk to your teacher. Get your parents involved. Keep a complaint log. Avoid starting a war. Be respectful. Accept that you won't get along with everyone. Keep things in perspective.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Get a small journal or notebook and write down your distances, dates, and times. Look over it to see how you are progressing. You can also purchase apps for your phone that will help you to track your runs. Consult your phone when running to monitor your pace. Think about your most recent runs and try to increase the distance or speed up your pace on future runs. It may help to write down your goals for each day’s run. Choose goals that you can actually attain or you may get burned out. Consider adding a hill into one run per week for a month, or changing your running route. When you feel like quitting toward the middle or end of a race, split the remaining distance into pieces. This will allow you to reach a series of small goals on the way to one major one. Each time that you complete a chunk, praise yourself and further divide the remaining pieces. Keep doing this until you reach the finish line.  For example, if you have 8 miles left to go, try breaking it into 2 mile chunks. Watch for each 2 mile section to pass and then celebrate mentally before moving onward. You can even break your run down into telephone poles and street lights. Focus on getting to the one in front of you. Once you pass it, focus on getting to the next one. This keeps your distance feeling manageable. Make a note of where/when you lag at each race. Then, in future races, start to purposefully slow your pace in the minutes before you hit this wall. You may also need to regulate your pace at the very start of the run, especially if you start at almost a sprint. For some runners, training with an interval workout is helpful is teaching them how to ramp up and ramp down their speeds and energies. You might fall into a rut if you follow the same running schedule every day. This may make you more complacent and lead to less of an effort on your part. So, every few weeks, switch up your routine and add a few opposite-time runs in. If you usually run in the morning, take a quick evening jog and vice versa. People who run in the mornings generally see a larger boost in energy and better sleep than evening athletes. If you switch up your routine temporarily, you may find that another time suits you even better. Running on the same path can be helpful in that you know the landmarks for pacing; however, it can also get boring really fast. Try to add short new legs to your run. Hop in the car and go to a park for a change of pace. Make sure that you are running on different types of terrain to add in even more of a challenge. All of this will help you to keep pushing yourself to new levels.
Summary: Keep a log of your runs. Set reasonable goals. Break down your run into chunks. Save energy for the end of your run. Experiment with a different time of day. Run somewhere new.

However, you may find it helpful to identify specific people who you feel the most comfortable talking to and confiding in. Learn how the people in your life affect you. Some people may make your anxiety worse because they are anxious themselves. For example, if you have a friend who worries as much as you do, then she may not be the best person to call when you feel anxious. Stimulants, such as caffeine and nicotine can make anxiety worse. If you drink a lot of caffeinated beverages, then try to reduce your caffeine intake. If you smoke or use other tobacco products, then do everything you can to quit smoking.

Alcohol may make you feel better for a little while, but it can make your anxiety worse later on. Limit your alcohol intake and do not use alcohol to deal with anxious feelings. If you tend to binge drink or to drink in excess in response to your anxiety, then you may need to seek help to stop drinking. Talk to your doctor about treatment options. .

Consuming foods that contain omega-3s on a regular basis may help with anxiety. Try to reduce your intake of candy, sugary cereals, baked goods, and other high-sugar foods.

These sources of carbohydrates may increase the level of serotonin in your brain and calm you down as a result. . Not getting enough sleep can make you feel more anxious, so it is important to get about eight hours of sleep every night.
