In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Make it clear that it's okay to be different, and that people of all personalities and backgrounds should be treated with compassion and acceptance.   If someone doesn't want to talk about their orientation, that's okay. Respect their privacy. If someone tells you what their orientation is, believe them. You can help your children tackle the questions of their own identity, but in the end, the words they use to define themselves are their choice (and theirs alone). Similarly, other people are the experts on their personal orientations, and your children should respect them and take their word for it.  It can be hurtful to try to guess someone else's orientation, or to not believe them when they tell you. Your child has probably witnessed some of it, even if they don't fully understand. Make it clear that bullying happens, it's wrong, and it's the fault of the bully for choosing to be mean (not of the victim).   Teach your child the phrase "I'm okay, they're mean." This can protect their self esteem when they are bullied, whether it's related to perceived orientation or something else. Teach some basic intervention strategies, like asking the victim to hang out with them, or making a distraction like "accidentally" dropping all their books. Due to discrimination, personal uncertainty, and different personalities, some people do not like to be open about their orientations. This is their choice. Explain to your child that each person will decide how open they want to be, and your child should follow the other person's lead.   After someone comes out, your child should ask whether this is private information. This way, there won't be misunderstandings about whether it is okay to tell. For example, maybe they're okay with their friend group knowing, but not their teachers. When in doubt, a good rule is not to tell. Make it clear that your children shouldn't reveal any of their friends' orientations unless their friends specifically told them it was okay. Your teen may be part of some difficult social situations like bullying, or they may want to help a friend who is facing problems, or they may come to the realization that they are LGBT+ themselves. Knowing that you care and are willing to help makes a big difference.   Show a willingness to listen to your child, and validate their feelings. This helps build a solid relationship, and encourages them to come to you in the future. Kids and teens look to good listeners for help, so be a good listener. Show casual acceptance for any LGBT+ people you encounter. Speak positively or neutrally about their identities. This models acceptance, and shows you can be trusted.
Summary: Encourage your child to respect others. Remind them that an individual is an expert on their own orientation. Be honest about bullying and discrimination. Discuss the importance of privacy. Reassure them that they can come to you with anything.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You don't want to use a pot that is too shallow or a saucepan.  That could easily make a mess. A 6-quart pot is a good idea.  A sturdy pot or a steamer that is tall and high will work well. You need a steaming rack or separator on top of the pot so the crabs don't touch the hot liquid. You can purchase a steam rack or make one out of tin foil. The basic goal is to allow the steam to rise into the crabs while preventing the crab from touching the boiling liquid below it. A crab steamer is a two-part pot. The bottom pot holds the steaming liquid, while the inner pot is perforated with holes and holds the crabs. If you do not have a crab steamer, you can improvise and use a large pot and a circular rack to place in the bottom of the pot for the crabs to sit on during the steaming process. Water works to steam live crabs and frozen crab legs, but if you want to steam crabs like a local, you could try the Maryland approach, and use beer and vinegar. Add about ¼ cup salt to the water.  All you need is two cans of cheap beer and an equal amount of apple cider or distilled white vinegar. Some people also add bay leaves into the mixture. If using water, pour 2 cups of water into the pot and add 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) of salt. Some recipes call for adding spices to the beer or water (such as salt, garlic, chiles, limes, and cilantro). Place about two inches of liquid in the bottom of the pot, enough to boil and produce steam. You don't want the water line to rise above the steam rack. Boil the liquid. Other recipes call for one cup of water and one cup of vinegar. You should use tongs to do this, especially if they are still alive. Put three to four crabs belly down on the steam rack.  Cover them with a spice blend. Then, add another layer of crabs and repeat the seasoning process. Then cover the lid of the pot. You can find many recipes for different crab steaming spice blends online.  A spice blend can vary by taste but often includes a mix of celery salt, dry mustard, cumin, black pepper, rock salt, and nutmeg. You could also purchase a spice blend for crab meat at many grocery stores.
Summary:
Use a tall high-walled pot. Add liquid to the pot. Place the crabs in the pot.
