Article: If you’re under 18, you won’t be able to work as an actor without your parents’ permission, so it’s important to get them on board with your plans. Explain how much you enjoy acting, so they understand that it’s something you’re extremely passionate about. You may also need to reassure them that you won’t neglect your other responsibilities, such as school and chores, just because you’re pursuing acting. Don’t tell your parents that you want to become an actor just because you want to be famous or rich. Have some good reasons ready, such as you love telling stories or have fun creating characters, so they’ll take you seriously. While you may have natural talent, it always helps to hone your skills, so you’re well-prepared when you start to go on auditions. A school drama class is a good place to start, but specialized classes and workshops in specific acting areas, such as commercial acting or acting for the camera, are more impressive to list on your resume.  If you don’t have time during the school year to take acting classes, a summer drama camp may be a good alternative. If you want personalized acting instruction, you might talk to your parents about hiring an acting coach who can work with you one-on-one to improve your skills. While you probably won’t be able to get a professional acting job right out of the gate, you’ll want potential agents and casting directors to know that you have experience performing. Look for local opportunities to act (such as school plays, regional theater, and student films) so you have some roles to put on your resume. Try to play a large variety of types of roles. Doing so will it give you an opportunity to stretch your acting skills and will also showcase your impressive acting range to casting directors.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Talk to your parents. Take acting classes. Get some experience.
Article: Recovering from gaslighting will be much easier if you have a support team to assist you. Therapists and counselors are an important part of your support team because they can help you recover from gaslighting by supporting you and listening to you. They can also help you address the depression, anxiety, and other stress you may be feeling as a result of being gaslighted.  For example, if the gaslighting happened during a long-term relationship, seeking professional help can assist you in identifying and dealing with effects of the abuse. Even if it was a short-lived relationship, adding a professional to your support team can help teach you coping strategies. Talk to a counselor about what you have been through. You can ask your physician, human resources representative, or school counselor for a referral to a counselor. If you are experiencing anxiety or depressive symptoms or other significant problems coping, a counselor can discuss treatment options with you. When someone gaslights you, they often isolate you from other people in your life that care about you. They convince you that they are the only person that knows what is right for you. Rebuilding your relationship with family, friends, and other people in your life and relying on them as a part of your support team will help you recover from gaslighting.  Ask someone close to you to just spend time with you. You all don’t have to go anywhere or do anything. Try saying, “Can we spend a little time together just chilling?” Accept their invitations when friends and family members ask you to go places with them. Start out spending small amounts of time together. For example, go for a frozen yogurt or a cup of coffee. One way to recover from gaslighting is to connect with people that have been through similar experiences. Hearing their stories and how they recovered from gaslighting can provide you with strategies and tips that will help you overcome it as well. Being a part of a support group can also help boost your self-esteem from the positive interactions and create new social relationships for you.  Check with organizations in your community for victims of domestic abuse, your religious leader, or a mental health professional for suggestions on finding a support group near you. Consider joining an online forum or support group if you aren’t able to attend an in-person support group.

Article: A good way to figure out what kind of layout you want for your own thumbnail image is to look at thumbnail images used by different YouTubers. You can add transparent clipart and pictures to your image to make it more eye-catching. Make sure your design is relevant to your video, since misleading thumbnails violate YouTube's Terms of Service. Since this is what gets associated with your video title, make sure the design compliments your video's title and also gives an idea of the content in your video. Make sure not to repeat the title of the video in your thumbnail, since it'll already be displayed clearly next to the thumbnail once it's been uploaded to YouTube. Since thumbnail frames are rectangular, it'd be better to design your image so that it fills the thumbnail frame (square images leave blank space).
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Look at thumbnails for YouTube videos you watch. Customize your design. Format your thumbnail around the title. Make a rectangular image.
