In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Bullies cross the spectrum – some abuse physically, others verbally, while others play mind games and toy with you emotionally. Many bullies use a combination of these strategies. Whatever the type, it helps for you to understand the approach taken by the bully.  Does the person abuse you physically? Aggressive bullies like to hit, punch, kick and pull hair. They will do it without hesitation. Such a bully isn't beyond starting a physical fight, only to blame it all on you or cry that they're hurt and you started it. Is this person a name-caller, someone who insults you verbally? Taunting bullies are verbally abusive (calling names, making jokes, teasing, etc.).  Does the person pretend to be your friend, but then makes fun of you in front of others without warning? This is just one type of emotional bullying. Others include threatening to hurt or break something you care about, doing something to cause you to be ridiculed (such as having a "kick me" sign on your back) or telling lies about you to other people to try to make them hate you. Indirect bullies, sometimes known as backstabbers or gossip-mongers, spread rumors, exclude others, and harass their victims whenever possible. Cyber bullies harass other people through instant messaging, e-mail, and any other electronic means. The best way to deal with online bullies is to delete their messages and not read anything they say. Be sure to block the bully as well. If this is happening to you, it is just as legitimate as face-to-face bullying. Do not hesitate to tell your parents, your boss, a teacher, or the police, if necessary, about your situation. This is not okay and should not be tolerated. Consider your parents, school guidance counselor, principal, boss, the police, or someone else who can deal with or punish the bully and protect your safety. It's important that you talk to someone about your problem to get it to end. This is not cowardly of you. This is brave of you to come forward and make yourself vulnerable.  Do not worry about revenge that the bully may take if you report the incident; they will hurt you anyway and appeasing them doesn't solve your problem or anyone else they are bullying. You could also go to tell a good friend – a good friend includes them standing up for you and you standing up for them as well. If there is a bullying survey in your school always write your name down. Do not be embarrassed. You will probably be asked to talk to someone in private who is very experienced and this can be surprisingly helpful. You might feel very small but in reality you are bigger than the bully. Bullies are people who try to make themselves look good. All they want is attention, and they have probably learned their bullying from home or friends. Take that away from them and they have nothing! Since you've experienced the problem, you know how it can hurt, and you know how to help others!  One of the simplest way to help others feel better in the face of bullying is to change their understanding of it. Emphasize to them that bullies themselves are unhappy and frustrated and are trying to have control over their feelings to finally feel good themselves. It’s kind of sad, if you think about it. If someone comes to you and they're in a situation similar to yours, go with them to report their problem. They'll greatly benefit from the moral support. If they don't have their own strength, they can soak up some of yours. Bullying is a real problem. It is not something that needs to be shoved aside and dealt with quietly. Take your issues and talk about them. Ask your school to hold talks or seminars putting it in the front of everyone's minds. Make everyone aware that it happens every day. Only when people are looking for it can they do something about it. You may think you're alone or that you don't know anyone that's gone through something like you have, but that's likely because those people are too shy to speak up. If you break the ice, you may be surprised how many people join you in your fight.
Summary: Recognize the type of bully you and others are dealing with. Understand that cyberbullying is as real as face-to-face or real life bullying. Report all bullying to an authority figure. Help others through their situation. Spread the word.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Brushing your teeth is by far the most effective way of removing plaque, and brushing properly and regularly will help to ensure that less plaque builds up over time. This is important as built-up plaque can calcify into tartar, which is a lot harder to remove. You should brush your teeth once a day at the very least, but dentists recommend brushing twice; once in the morning and once before bed. It is important to brush before bed because during night, bacterial flora becomes more active eliminating acids that are hard to neutralize because of the reduced flow of saliva. Flossing is an essential component of effective oral hygiene, though unfortunately it is often neglected. Flossing removes bacteria and food particles from between the teeth, helping to prevent the formation of plaque. It should be done once a day, at bedtime, before brushing your teeth. Floss between teeth using a gentle sawing motion, and lifting the floss along the sides of the teeth. Avoid "snapping" the floss into place, as this can irritate the delicate gum tissue.  Make sure to use a clean section of floss for between each tooth, otherwise you are just moving bacteria from one part of your mouth to another. If you find dental floss awkward to use, try using a dental pick instead. This is a small wooden or plastic stick which can be inserted between the teeth, achieving the same results as flossing. Though plaque-busting mouthwashes are not effective enough to remove plaque all by themselves, when used as part of a teeth cleaning routine involving brushing and flossing, they can help to loosen plaque, while giving you minty-fresh breath in the process. Chlorhexidine digluconate is the most effective mouthwash against any type of oral bacteria, but it should not be used for more than two weeks in a row. The bacteria found in plaque thrive on sugary and starchy foods. In fact, every time you eat these kinds of foods, the bacteria release an acid which leads to tooth decay and cavities. To avoid this, try to minimize your consumption of these types of processed foods and pay special attention to your brushing and flossing routine if you decide to indulge. Even if you implement the most rigorous oral hygiene routine at home, you can still benefit from a visit to the dentist every six months or so. Only a dentist can give you the thorough, professional cleaning which will remove the most hard-to-reach plaque and stubborn tartar.
Summary:
Brush your teeth twice daily. Floss between your teeth. Use a mouthwash that targets plaque. Avoid sugary and starchy foods. Get regular, professional cleanings.
