article: Although there are no official educational requirements for becoming a tailor, getting a high school education will help you get hired. It is especially true if you intend on working as a tailor for a larger fashion company. Check with your school for any classes that relate to a tailor’s work. At the very least, try taking a home economics course.  Some schools may even have more in-depth sewing courses that teach fashion design, hand sewing, and industrial power sewing. If these classes are available to you, they are a great place to start training to become a tailor. The GED is a test you can take if you don’t complete high school. It is used to show that you have the knowledge of a high school graduate. Even though you do not need to have a college degree, you can still benefit from college-level classes. Check with your local community college or technical school for options. Focus on fashion and design courses that teach the various skills tailors use in their work. You could also take technical courses on sewing to improve your skills.  Look for classes covering clothing construction, patterns, textiles, fabrics, finishes, detailing, and fit. Ideally, they will include plenty of practice sewing exercises. Some 4-year colleges offer fashion design programs. It’s a straightforward way to gain experience, but it’s also more expensive than taking a couple of classes at community college. In addition to improving your own skills, college coursework or even a degree might make your employer more likely to consider you for higher level jobs. You could become a supervisor in charge of other tailors! Many tailors end up being self-employed. While it isn’t strictly necessary for everyone, you might find business and business finance classes to be beneficial. These classes help prepare you for the responsibilities and duties involved in running your own business, including skills like marketing and accounting.  Start with any classes available when you’re in high school. Beyond that, community colleges offer plenty of classes that are useful for anyone thinking about starting their own business. Pay close attention to business, business finance, entrepreneurship, marketing, management, and other classes teaching business-related skills. Many tailors working for clothing retailers communicate face to face with customers. If you plan on running your own tailoring business, you will definitely need good customer service skills. Take classes or work in customer service roles to become more accustomed to keeping customers happy. Look for anything covering business communication, customer service, and interpersonal skills.  Tailors often have to converse with customers about their desires, take measurements, and offer recommendations. You will have more success if you’re confident and comfortable around others. Many colleges offer communications classes, but also look online for free lessons.

article: Daydreaming sometimes gets a bad rap, but there are many benefits to daydreaming. Daydreaming is associated with increased creativity, enhanced memory, empathy, and improved mood. Plus, it’s easy, it doesn’t cost anything, and it’s a wonderful way to cope with your problems at home. You may not be able to pack up and leave tomorrow, but eventually it will be time to go. Heading out on your own requires a great deal of planning, so begin formulating your strategy now. How do you plan to save up enough money to survive? Where do you want to go? Will you head off to school, to the military, or simply to a new city? Form a plan by talking to people who are older than you, speaking with a guidance counselor at school, and/or doing some research on your own. Then, set your plan into motion. Anytime you have negative emotions or a bad situation to deal with, one excellent way to cope is to express yourself creatively. This might be writing in a journal, drawing a picture, or writing a song. This is a great way to process your emotions, and help you cope with your bad parent. Sometimes you may need someone to talk to who has no connection to the situation at hand, and who you can trust 100%. A good choice for this is a therapist. A good therapist can help you sort through your problems at home and find a way to deal with them.  If you do not want to approach your parent about helping you find a therapist or if your parent has said no, then you can also talk to the guidance counselor at your school for help. If your parent says no based on financial reasons, then it might be helpful to let your parent know that some therapists offer a sliding scale for patients who cannot afford the regular fees. You may be able to pay as little as $10 per session.  A therapist may also be able to help you and your parent develop a better relationship. If you think that your parent might be open to therapy, then try saying something like, "I would like our relationship to improve, but I think we might need some help. I am willing to do some therapy with you so that we could work on that. Is that something you would be willing to do too?" Many issues between family members can be solved through communication. When we communicate face-to-face, however, things can get heated, and it can be very difficult to get across what you want to say. If you feel that you may be able to sort out the issues you have with your parent, think about writing them a letter. Even if you have no intention of giving them the letter, taking the time to write it can be an excellent way to process what you’re feeling. Then, simply throw it away.

article:
The first symptom of MRSA is a raised, pus-filled abscess or boil that's firm to the touch and feels warm. This red blemish may have a “head” like a pimple, and can range in size from 2 to 6 centimeter (0.79 to 2.4 in) or larger. It can appear anywhere on the body, and will be extremely tender. For example, if it's on the buttocks, you likely won't be able to sit from the pain. A skin infection without a boil is less likely to be MRSA, but should still be checked by a doctor. More likely, you need to be treated for a Streptococcus infection or susceptible staph aureus. The early abscess or boil can look incredibly similar to a simple spider bite. One study showed that 30% of Americans who reported a spider bite were found to actually have MRSA. Especially if you're aware of a MRSA outbreak in your area, err on the side of caution and get tested by a medical professional.  In Los Angeles, MRSA outbreaks were so high the public health department raised billboards showing a picture of a MRSA abscess with the text “This is not a spider bite.” Patients didn’t take their antibiotics, believing their doctors were wrong and had misdiagnosed spider bites. Be vigilant for MRSA, and always follow medical advice. Though not all patients get a fever, you may get one greater than 100.4°F (38°C). This can be accompanied by chills and nausea. "Systemic toxicity" is rare, but possible if the MRSA infection is in the skin and soft tissue. While in most cases, patients can bide their time and wait for test results to confirm MRSA, sepsis is life threatening and needs immediate treatment. Symptoms include:  Body temperature over 101.3°F (38.5°C) or below 95°F (35°C) Heart rate faster than 90 beats per minute Rapid breathing Swelling (edema) anywhere on the body Altered mental state (disorientation or unconsciousness, for example) In some cases, MRSA might resolve on its own without treatment. The boil may burst on its own, and your immune system may fight off the infection; however, MRSA can be more serious in people with weak immune systems. If the infection worsens, bacteria could make their way into the bloodstream, causing potentially fatal septic shock. Furthermore, the infection is highly contagious, and you could get a lot of other people sick if you neglect your own treatment.
