Problem: Article: Whether you are male or female, you should educate yourself about pregnancy before any heterosexual activity. Here are a few basics that all sexually active people should know about pregnancy:  Pregnancy can occur anytime that semen enters the vagina. Almost all pregnancies result from unprotected penetrative sex, with the penis in the vagina. Pregnancy is extremely unlikely during oral sex, anal sex, or non-penetrative sexual activities.  Precum (a fluid the penis releases in small amounts when aroused) typically does not contain viable sperm. Unlike semen, precum is unlikely to cause pregnancy. All types of unprotected vaginal, oral, and anal sex can spread sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). You can only get an STD by sharing fluids with someone already infected. However, many people have an STD that does not cause visible symptoms, and this can still be transferred during sex and cause major health problems (such as female infertility). The Center for Disease Control recommends annual STD testing for sexually active women under 25, and for men who have sex with men. Men who do not have sex with men are at lower risk, but should still be tested after risky sexual behavior.  Some STDs can take six months or longer to show up on a test. If you and your sexual partner only have sex with each other, you only need to be tested once. Get tested again if you suspect your partner has had sex with someone else, or if either of you have used injected drugs with a shared needle. Condoms are the most common method of birth control among teens. They are cheap, easy to use, and protect you from both pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. Make sure you are using them correctly. Male condoms reduce pregnancy chance to 2% per year when used perfectly, but during typical use, mistakes or lapses increases this to 18%.  Female condoms are slightly less effective, reducing the chance to 5% when used correctly. Do not use a female and male condom at the same time.  Using condoms and one of the methods below is an excellent way to protect yourself and your sexual partner. Birth control pills are very effective at preventing pregnancy when a woman takes one every day. They do not protect against STDs. "The pill" is available over the counter in many countries. In the U.S., you need a doctor's prescription.  U.S. law prevents your doctor from telling your parents about your birth control. However, they may find out if you pay for it using your parent's health insurance. Birth control typically costs $15–$50 per month, so you and your sexual partner may be able to pay for it yourselves.  These pills are very safe for most women, but may cause health issues if you have serious health issues related to your heart or blood. Smoking increases this risk. Birth control pills make your menstrual cycle more regular and may reduce unpleasant side effects, such as acne and cramping. Women are most fertile during ovulation and for a few days afterward. This usually happens on days 11–21 of a 28-day menstrual cycle, where day 1 is the start of menstrual flow. It's important to realize that most women do not have regular cycles, so you can't predict exactly when this happens in advance. This tells you when pregnancy is especially risky, but you shouldn't skip protection at other times of the month.  Sperm can survive for a few days in the vagina, so sex before ovulation can still lead to pregnancy. To track this, keep a menstrual cycle calendar with signs of an approaching period. If you want to be extra safe, track your ovulation. There are many other forms of birth control available, from diaphragms to intrauterine devices. For more information, visit a reproductive health center such as Planned Parenthood, or talk to a doctor or gynecologist. Teens are exposed to many myths about birth control and STDs, so don't assume everything you've heard is true. The withdrawal method, where the man pulls out before ejaculation, is not recommended by most experts. While it does reduce pregnancy somewhat when followed correctly, there is a risk the man will not pull out in time, or change his mind after sex has started. This method also offers no protection against STDs.
Summary: Understand pregnancy. Learn about sexually transmitted diseases. Use condoms. Consider birth control pills. Track the fertility cycle. Research other forms of birth control.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you’re completely stumped about what to get the bar or bat mitzvah, consider asking their parents. That way, you can still surprise the guest of honor while ensuring that you’re giving them something they would truly like. Consider asking for gift ideas when you send or call in your RSVP. This can also be helpful to make sure that the child doesn’t get dozens of the exact same thing. Whether they’re into athletics, drama, stamp collecting, or animals, get them something that shows you’ve taken note of their passions. If they’re an avid sports fan, maybe you could get them a jersey from their favorite team. If they’re a fashionista, consider getting them a gift card to their favorite boutique. Remember, this is a religious celebration but it is still their birthday. Get them anything you think they’d enjoy! This is the first day of their adult life, and you can use your gift as a way to impart some adult wisdom. Consider giving them something that has been significant in your own life. Do you have a favorite book that had a big impact on you? Give them a copy, with a letter explaining why you chose it and what it meant to you. Maybe you have a favorite Jewish recipe, and you could provide them with the recipe and cookware. By giving the child a meaningful gift, you are also showing them that they are growing up, and you recognize that!

SUMMARY: Ask the child’s parents about their interests. Buy something related to a hobby or interest of the child. Give the bar or bat mitzvah something with a story or lesson behind it.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Whether you are informed days, weeks, or months before you are let go from your job, or if you are completely unaware until the day you are actually terminated, it is important that you remain professional. Remaining professional can help ensure you can use your employer as a reference in the future.  If you have a formal exit interview, you may have the opportunity to politely voice grievances. If you remain in the same career field, you could end up working with or even being interviewed by former co-workers. If you fail to remain professional upon termination, you may leave a bad impression with former co-workers, damaging your reputation or even disqualifying yourself from future job opportunities. Whether you are given a lot of notice prior to your termination or it happens suddenly, this could be a great opportunity to find out how you can be a better employee. The meeting that occurs upon your termination should include some justification of why you are being let go. Pay attention to this to find ways to improve in future jobs. If you are being laid off and are not given reasoning beyond that, you might ask why you were chosen over those who are not being laid off and/or ask for some feedback about your job performance in spite of the cutbacks. Grief should be regarded as a kind of injury that requires time to heal just like a physical injury. Although grief is typically associated with the loss of a loved one, for instance, the loss of a job can be just as difficult or more so. Whether you are aware of your impending termination for a period of time before it happens or taken by surprise, you will likely experience some grief from the loss of your job. Deal with your grief effectively by joining a support group, admitting the loss of your job and your emotions to others, and keeping a positive attitude and sense of humor.
Summary:
Remain professional. Find out why you are being terminated. Understand the seriousness of grief.
