Summarize the following:
Many events and situations can trigger a stress response. A major life stressor can include living through a natural disaster (like a flood, hurricane, or earthquake), ending a relationship, starting a new school or job, or the death of a loved one. A stress response can also occur due to multiple events such as marital problems or school problems. Adjustment problems can occur from recurrent events (like going to chemotherapy or driving in a car after an accident)  or continuous events, such as living in an unsafe neighborhood. Problems with adjustment can manifest as physical symptoms. Some common symptoms include trembling or twitching, heart palpitations, and physical complaints such as stomach aches, headaches, and general aches and pains in the body. Notice if you have any of these symptoms and think back to when they started. Did the symptoms begin around a stressful time in your life? This may be related to stress response syndrome. You might feel nervous or tense, or find yourself crying frequently. Other symptoms include depression, anxiety, worry, and tension. You could also feel hopeless, sad, or helpless. You may also withdraw from people or social events or isolate yourself from others frequently.  Notice major shifts in your emotional functioning as related to stressors in your life. Did any emotional symptoms occur right after the event? Did they come gradually over the first months after an event? Emotional symptoms can onset immediately or over time. Some people experience behavioral changes as a result of experiencing distress. You may experience impulsive behavior such as impromptu shopping trips. Or you may experience defiant behavior, such as not wanting to follow directions or listen to authority. Children and teens may experience behavior changes more often than adults, and may act out their feelings. This can include skipping school, engaging in fights, or other negative behaviors.

summary: Identify triggers of stress response syndrome. Be aware of physical symptoms. Look for emotional symptoms. Notice any changes in behavior.

Begin with dry, clean hair. Carefully brush your hair until it is smooth. Pay particular attention to removing any snarls or knots in your long locks. Bend forward at your waist. Brush your hair forwards towards your forehead. Gather your hair into a ponytail at the base of your forehead. Secure it tightly with a rubber band. Imagine that you are transforming your hair into a unicorn’s horn. The ponytail should be located in the same place as a unicorn’s horn. Remain bent over at your waist. Slowly slide your rubber band towards the ends of your hair. Stop 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1 cm)  from the ends of your hair. Adjust the rubber band to the desired length—remember, it is always better to cut a little bit off at a time! Position your non-dominant hand securely over the rubberband. As you stand up straight, try not to shift your hair or the position of your hand. Using a pair of sharp shears, cut just below the rubber band. Set down the hair you cut off, remove the ponytail holder, and assess your layered look. If you want to cut more hair off, repeat the process. After you remove the ponytail holder, make sure to check you layers for evenness. If you notice any areas that are uneven, use a pair of scissors to clean them up. Be sure to look in a mirror as you do this.

summary: Prep your hair. Brush your hair into a ponytail. Position the rubber band. Cut your hair.

French kissing, or kissing with tongue, is a common way of sharing intimacy with a partner. Slip your tongue across his lips and touch his tongue gently, but don’t shove your tongue into his mouth. If you start making out while you're standing up or you're sitting in an uncomfortable spot, it's okay to take a break to move somewhere more comfortable. Try sitting on a couch or a bed where you'll have room to get cozy together. As you’re kissing, you can show him that you want to move from simple kisses to making out by pressing your body against his. The heightened physical contact will lead to a feeling of deeper intimacy. Don’t just leave your hands laying by your sides or in your lap! Run your hands across his chest or along his upper arms, or rest your hand on the side of his neck. If you take a break from kissing, keep your hands busy by playing with his shirt or his hair. The neck is a very sensitive area, so don’t be afraid to kiss along his throat or behind his ears. Take the time to whisper something sexy while you’re kissing close to his ears! Try saying something like, “I’m really enjoying this” or “You’re so sexy.” Stop for a breather every so often, especially if you don't want things to get too hot and heavy. Play with his hair, touch his face, or play with his fingers while you catch your breath. If you don't want things to progress past making out, you should know your limits and stop making out before it goes too far. When you're ready to end the make out session, slow your kisses and gradually stop.  Never let anyone pressure you to do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable. If you want to stop kissing, the other person should stop, even if you were the one who initiated the kiss. Just because he seems aroused doesn't mean he's ready to have sex. If you do want to go further, talk to him about what he wants, and make sure you don't pressure him if he wants to stop.
summary: Open your mouth wider and use your tongue to deepen your kisses. Move to a comfortable spot if you need to. Press your body against his. Touch him on the chest and arms while you’re making out. Kiss his neck and around his ears. Take a break every now and then. Be firm if you want to slow things down.
