INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Enter 192.168.0.1 into the browser window of a computer connected to the router via Ethernet. Enter in the password that you created in the previous section when prompted to log in. The User Name is still "admin". This will open the setup wizards. This will open a new page allowing you to setup your wireless network. This will turn on the wireless network once you save your settings. Give your network a name, but make sure that it doesn't include any personal information. This network name will be publicly visible. This is the most secure method of wireless transmission, and requires no extra effort on your part over the outdated WEP. A strong WPA2 password is virtually impossible to crack, while a WEP password can be cracked in less than thirty minutes. Only select WPA or WEP if you have older devices that only support these protocols. Anyone that can connect to your wireless network can potentially cause some serious damage, especially if your devices are not secure. Make sure that you create a strong but memorable password. You'll be giving the password to guests, so you don't want it to be too unwieldy. See How to Create a Password You Can Remember for tips on creating a good password. Your wireless settings will be saved, and the wireless network will be enabled. This may take about thirty seconds to a minute. Once the router has saved the changes, you can connect your devices to the network wirelessly. Now that the wireless network is active, you can connect your devices to it. The process varies depending on the device, but generally you'll select your wireless name from the list of available networks and then enter the password you created. For most devices, this is all you need to do to connect to the wireless network. For more detailed instructions on connecting devices to a wireless network, see How to Connect to a Wireless Internet Connection.

SUMMARY: Log into your router. Click the "Setup" tab. Click the "Wireless Settings" menu in the left frame. Check the "Enable Wireless" box. Enter a name for the network. Select "WPA2" as the "Security Mode". Create a strong password. Click the "Save Settings" button. Connect your devices.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you have begun your period (or will start soon), you may have special worries about changing in the locker room. Your best strategy is to be prepared: make sure that you have pads, liners, and/or tampons on hand all the time in your gym bag or locker.  If you are on your period, consider wearing dark underwear and/or pants and bottoms. If you're worried about wearing pads, especially in gym class where you are more active, you may  want to become comfortable using tampons, which are much more discreet. Ask to see the school nurse if you feel cramps coming on or if you feel queasy. You can tell your teacher  that you aren't feeling well (keep it somewhat vague). Then tell the nurse, of course, about your situation.  Remember that you're not the only one going through this, and most girls are more than willing to help each other out when one of them runs out of supplies or begins her period unexpectedly. In fact, it's sometimes a way to bond! The male locker room has its own issues. Many guys are worried about how their equipment stacks up, and are concerned that others will be comparing them. If you're a guy, you may also be worried about having an unexpected erection at an inopportune time.  You can try to prevent this from happening from keeping your thoughts as non-sexual as possible while changing. For example, think about the upcoming basketball game instead of the date you have planned for later this evening. It may also help to wear tighter-fitting underwear, such as briefs or boxer-briefs, instead of loose boxers. If you do have an erection, this can make it less noticeable.  It never hurts to drape your lap with a towel when you are changing out of or into your pants, as well. If you are transgender, then you are most likely facing unique concerns. It's important that you know your rights and find advocates to support you. Among your most important rights is the right to feel safe, comfortable and non-threatened at school.  In many states and school districts, this includes the right to change in the locker room where you are most comfortable changing (whether that is the room that matches the gender with which you identify or the one that correlates with the sex you were assigned at birth). Even if your state does not have specific legislation outlining rights for transgender people, you are protected by Title IX against gender discrimination.  If you're unsure about where you can change, or if you are being bullied or harassed, it's very important that you seek help from a trusted adult: a parent, teacher, counselor, principal, etc. You shouldn't have to deal with bullies alone. It's really hard not to look around the locker room and notice the differences between your classmates and you. If you have body insecurities, it's especially difficult.  Try to keep in mind that everyone else (or nearly everyone) also has their own body issues. While this won't automatically make you feel better about your own body, understanding this can help keep things in perspective. If you are struggling to come to terms with your own body or your anxiety about changing in front of others, do not hesitate to talk to someone, whether that is a parent, teacher or counselor.

SUMMARY: Be prepared for menstruation issues. Know that erections happen. Know your rights as trans person. Try not to compare your body to others.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Make sure you’re being a good listener when he speaks. If he feels like you’re ignoring him or that you’re distracted, he may not want to open up. Give your full attention when he’s talking and don’t get distracted by the television, your phone, or other things.  Nod occasionally and appear engaged by leaning in and keeping an open posture. Maintain eye contact to show that you’re engaged. Encourage him to go on by saying, “Uh huh” or, “I see” to show that you’re listening. When your boyfriend speaks, remember the important things he brings up. If he brings up the same topic a couple times, this likely means it’s something that’s important to him or that he cares about. If you’re looking for something to discuss, ask him for an update on something he brought up before. For example, say, “You were working on a project in your garage, did you finish it?” Give him opportunities to open up that might appeal to him. Offer to do something that both of you like. This will put him in a relaxed and familiar state of mind, which may make him feel more open and willing to talk. This also allows you to have more things to talk about regarding the activity. Maybe you both enjoy playing video games, ice skating, or watching movies. When your boyfriend opens up or talks, give him some positive feedback. Show your gratitude for his openness. This will show him that you appreciate when he opens up and want him to do more of it. For example, say, “I always enjoy learning more about you” or, “I didn’t know that about you, thanks for sharing.”

SUMMARY:
Practice active listening. Remember key points. Do an activity he enjoys. Give positive reinforcement.
