When you're going into a doctor, it's always best to be prepared. Make a physical list of the symptoms you've been experiencing. Try to be as specific as possible. Don't be embarrassed; your doctor has heard it all.  For instance, you might write down, "heavier flow (on heavy days, bleeding through a pad every hour for 3 or 4 hours in a row), more cramping, blood clots the size of quarters, feeling weak and tired, blood flow lasting 12 to 14 days." It can help to count the number of pads or tampons you use while you're bleeding. It's also important to note any major changes in your life, such as big events that have caused you stress and sudden weight gain or loss. Ask around in your family to see if anyone else has similar problems, as menstrual problems can be genetic. If you think you may be suffering from a anemia, ask your doctor about having a blood test. A blood test can determine the level of iron in your blood. If you have low iron, your doctor will likely recommend increased iron in both your diet and the supplements you take. Usually, to help diagnose the problem, your doctor will want to conduct a physical examination, including taking a pap smear. A pap smear is when your doctor takes a small scraping of cells from your cervix to test for any problems.  Your doctor may also take tissue from your uterus to biopsy. You may also need an ultrasound or a hysteroscopy. With a hysteroscopy, a tiny camera is threaded into your uterus through your vagina, allowing the doctor to look for problems.

summary: Make a list of symptoms. Ask about a blood test for anemia. Expect a physical examination.

Go beyond your favorite color and pick a color that compliments both your eyes and your outfit.  Try not to outperform the color of your natural eyes by using the same color as your iris. For example: If your eyes are blue, grey or silver is a smarter option over a matching blue. If your eyes are hazel, opt for a color that’s mostly brown but has a pop of green. Staying away from a pure green eyeshadow will prevent the makeup from overpowering your eyes, that is, showing people how plain they may be. Opposites attract. For example use a warm purple, lavender or pink if you have brown eyes. If you have blue eyes, use bronze, or rusty colored eyeliner. Look at a color across from your eyes on the color wheel. Pick a color adjacent to the opposite for optimum pop. With many different formulas available, texture matters. If you’re a novice, use a pencil or gel liner, as liquids are reserved for the more seasoned-users.  Maximize your control with pencils. This is especially useful when rimming your inner lashline with a firm hand. Add a dramatic line with liquids, as they are easily layered to become a thicker line. Liquids need a steady hand for application but give you the most pigment. Pens are easier to apply, and dry faster, but give less pigment. Gels glide on smoothly and evenly. Gels are often used as a stepping stone from simple pencil to difficult liquid. The look is often very intense and the gel allows smooth application   A mixing medium (water) and an angled brush can be used to make any colored eyeshadow into a matching liner.

summary: Pick the right color. Choose your formula.

If you are called to the school immediately following an incident, you and your child might both be feeling a lot of intense emotions. Let your child know that they can expect a conversation about what happened after you’ve both calmed down. Depending on what time of day the suspension occurred, you may want to go home and prepare dinner before you talk, or you might want to stop somewhere and eat lunch. Focusing on an activity will help you to be calm and it will give your child time to reflect. Offering your child the opportunity to explain themselves will send the message that you care about them. Keep in mind that children and teenagers will usually bend a story somewhat to portray themselves in the best light, so you may need to take their story with a grain of salt. If your child’s story is very different from the school’s, try to find other students or teachers who witnessed the event to find out what really happened. Sometimes when children and teenagers act out, it’s a symptom of another issue. Your child may be experiencing bullying, or they may be having health, vision, or hearing problems, struggles with their mental health, or even issues with drugs or alcohol. Try asking, “I know you got upset when you were told to sit down in class, but it seems like something else might be bothering you. Can we talk about it?” Once you understand all of the sides of the situation, talk to your child about what they did that they shouldn’t have. Ask questions like “Do you think what you did was okay?” Some things will be obvious, like being suspended for skipping school, but other situations might be more of a grey area, like pushing another student who was acting like a bully. Use the suspension as a teachable moment. Help your child come up with ideas for how they could have reacted differently when they felt upset or angry. Ask your child to walk back through the steps leading up to the incident. When they get to the part where they misbehaved, stop and ask, “Can you describe exactly how you were feeling right then? How could you have expressed that instead of what you did?”
summary: Wait until you and your child are both calm. Ask your child to tell their side of the story. Ask your child if they are having other problems you don’t know about. Help your child understand why what they did was wrong. Talk to your child about how they could have handled things differently.
