Article: Ask your parents for their reasons if they say no to your desire to cross-dress or they express disapproval of your identity or lifestyle. Seek to understand their viewpoint and concerns so you can gauge whether you can convince them over time, or need to seek help or guidance from others.  Some parents may have strict religious views that prevent them from easily accepting or allowing cross-dressing. Try talking to someone of their faith who might be understanding of your situation, and have them talk to your parents. If your parents think you are too young to make this decision for yourself, think you don't know what you want, or simply don't want you cross-dressing under their roof, note that it is expected for you to abide by their wishes as long as you are under 18 and a dependent of your parents. Try to understand that it might be difficult for your parents to understand something they've never experienced or don't know much about, but give them time to get used to the idea that you are the same person they know and love even if you dress in girls' clothing or come out as trans. Carefully weigh the risks of dressing in girls' clothing without parent permission, or otherwise disobeying them. You should do what makes you comfortable and happy, but without running the risk of verbal, mental, or physical harm if possible.  If your parents are reluctant to accept what you've told them and won't allow you to buy girls' clothes, but don't show signs of verbal or physical abuse or consequences if you disobey them, consider buying the clothes yourself and changing into them once you get to school, or other times when your parents aren't around. If your parents show a lot of anger and hostility, strictly forbid you from buying girls' clothes or living a certain lifestyle, and threaten serious consequences of verbal or physical abuse if you disobey them, do not go against them. Seek help from a friend, teacher, or other adult right away. Talk to a friend, friends' parents, teacher, guidance counselor, therapist, or other trusted person if you are having trouble talking to your parents or if you feel unable or unsafe to live as yourself in your home.  If you are trans and want to talk to another trans person who knows exactly what you're going through and how to help, dial (877) 565-8860 from anywhere in the U.S. to reach the Trans Lifeline.  If you need help or have questions regarding cross-dressing and gender or sexual identity, call or chat online with a peer counselor at GLBT National Help Center. Don't let your parents' disapproval or other negative reactions to the way you dress or identify cause you to suppress or deny your feelings and wishes. This can cause severe mental and emotional disturbance. Be true to yourself and defend your choices as healthy, normal expressions of who you are.

Article: . You've heard it a million times: turn off the lights when you leave a room, and don't leave the TV on all day! These small actions are more important than ever when it comes to reducing air pollution, since the electricity that runs your lights and appliances is generated by emissions-producing coal or natural gas plants. Here are a few more ideas for cutting back on the energy your household uses on a daily basis:  Take advantage of natural light. Set up your work or study space near a window that gets bright light all day, so you won't have to switch the lights on. Have one room in the house be the "bright room" at night, rather than lighting up the whole house all the time. Your family can gather in the brightest room to read, study, or watch a movie before bedtime, rather than spreading out. Unplug your appliances when you aren't using them. That goes for big appliances as well as small ones - TVs, computers, toasters, coffee makers, etc. Even a phone charger left plugged in can sap energy all day long. Replace outdated large appliances with models that are designed to conserve energy. Buy your electricity from low or zero pollution facilities. Look into the options available in your area. Try to allow your body to acclimate to the changing seasons instead of using your heater and air conditioner to keep the temperature steady all year long. Blasting the heat and air is a major drain on energy, so break out your hand fans and warm sweaters to help you adjust to weather changes rather than relying on your thermostat. When you're at work or away on a weekend trip, make sure to adjust your thermostat so that it's not pumping in cool or hot air the entire time you're away. Heating water requires a lot of energy, so being mindful of how much hot water you use is an important practice. You can start by taking shorter showers and skipping baths, since both require an abundance of hot water.  Turn your water heater to 120 °F (49 °C), so that the water never heats beyond that temperature. Use the cool setting on your washing machine.
