A conversation about your friends is one that you want your parents to take seriously, so make sure you treat it that way. Don’t ask your parents in the middle of cooking dinner or right as you’re heading out the door to school. Look for, or help create, a good time to talk.  Ask your parents to go for a walk with you. Stay at the table with your parents after dinner to talk. Instead of turning on a movie or TV show, sit with your parents and start a conversation. If your parents are concerned about your friends, then immediately expecting them to let you go on an overnight trip somewhere isn’t going to happen. Think about something specific and start by discussing that.  Having friends over for a movie night once a month. Going to a friend’s birthday party. Grabbing a pizza with friends after soccer practice. Talking with your parents can be stressful, especially when it’s about a difficult topic. When emotions take over a conversation we tend to become angry or forget what we wanted to say. Practice the conversation in front of a mirror or write down what you want to say. This will also show your parents you’re serious about this conversation. Ask your parents why they don’t like your friends. You can’t convince your parents you have good friends unless you know what they dislike about them. Once you hear their concerns, you will be able to address the issues.  If your parents express concern over a friend’s driving, try responding with, “Tommy can get a little distracted when driving, but I don’t think he has any tickets. If it makes you uncomfortable than I won’t ride in any car he’s driving. Jacob is a very responsible driver, I promise to ride with him any time we go someplace.” If your parents are worried about the type of language a friend uses, help reassure them that it’s not influencing your behavior: “I’m sorry you’ve heard her using inappropriate language. I don’t talk that way and I’ll make sure she understands what is and isn’t appropriate to say in the house.” If your parents know that a friend smokes, you need let them know that it doesn’t affect your choices. “I know Sam smokes, and I don’t like it either. But he is still a good, trustworthy friend and doesn’t smoke around me.” If you do have a friend that smokes, try talking to them about quitting!

Q: To ensure the glue you use doesn't cloud the surface of your puzzle, flake, or cause damage, you should use specially intended puzzle glue for gluing your puzzle. This can be bought at most craft and hobby stores. In all, for this project you'll need:  Puzzle glue Paintbrush (or sponge) Parchment paper (or wax paper) Any clear adhesive, like shellac or decoupage glue, can be used to glue your puzzle together, though some glues might leave a cloudy finish or not glue as firmly as puzzle glue. You'll want to work on a level, clear space while gluing your puzzle. Sometimes, glue can seep between puzzle pieces, causing the pieces to stick to your work surface. To prevent this, you should put a layer of parchment paper between your puzzle and the surface on which you're working.  The parchment paper you lay beneath your puzzle should extend several inches beyond its outer edges. If you don't have parchment paper handy, you could also use wax paper to prevent puzzle pieces from sticking to your work surface. If you are able, slide your puzzle over the top of your parchment paper. If this is not possible, you may need to get a thin, stiff piece of card stock to slide underneath your puzzle to help you transfer it to the parchment paper. At this point, your puzzle should be facing picture side up atop your parchment (or wax) paper, and your paper should extend a few inches beyond the outer edges of the puzzle. To ensure an even layer of glue is spread over your puzzle, you should start at the center of the puzzle and work your way to its outer edges. Start with a moderate amount of glue first. You can always add more later, if necessary. Working from the center of the puzzle out will also help prevent you from using too much glue, which can cause unevenness in the glue. Add your glue a little bit at a time and use your paintbrush or sponge to spread your glue from the center to the outer corners of your puzzle. You should only need a thin layer of glue to hold the puzzle pieces together.  Adding too much glue to your puzzle can sometimes cause the pieces to curl when the glue is dried.  Some brands of puzzle glue come with a plastic glue spreader that you can use to distribute your glue over the surface of your puzzle. If you find that a brush or a sponge doesn't work well for spreading glue and if your puzzle glue did not come with a spreader, you may be able to use a plastic spatula to distribute the glue more quickly. However, dried glue can be difficult to remove from your spatula once you are finished. In many cases, when you reach the edges of your puzzle, you'll find that you have some excess glue. Remove this by pushing it off the edges onto the parchment paper with your paintbrush, sponge, or plastic spreader. If you are using a plastic spreader/spatula, you may be able to remove extra glue by scooping it up and wiping it onto a piece of paper towel. Depending your the brand of puzzle glue you have bought, this may only take a few hours or may require an entire night to dry. When waiting for your puzzle to dry, it's best to err on the side of caution. Moving your puzzle too soon can cause wet glue to deform the puzzle pieces. You should check the label instructions for your glue to determine the amount of time your glue needs to dry.
A: Acquire your materials. Lay out parchment paper over your work area. Position your puzzle on the parchment paper. Add glue to the center of your puzzle. Spread the glue evenly over your puzzle. Remove any globs of glue from the puzzle. Allow the glue to dry.

Article: In the first couple of days of infection, especially, it's a good idea to stay home from work or to keep your child home from school or daycare. You remain contagious for up to 2 days after starting treatment. Children can return to school 24 hours after antibiotic treatment has started. Cover all impetigo sores with a watertight dressing, and make sure the child keeps them covered while at school. Encourage children to wash their hands as well. Use clean, running water and soap to wash your hands frequently throughout the day. If soap is not available, use a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.  The CDC recommends that you wash your hands for at least 20 seconds, or about the time it takes to sing "Happy Birthday" twice through.  Good handwashing hygiene can help avoid the spread of impetigo. Any contact with the discharge from the sores can pass the rash. Nasal discharge can also pass the rash. Washing your hands frequently reduces the likelihood of spreading discharge around. Impetigo is easier to spread when the environment is wet and humid. Air conditioners already take some of the humidity out of the air of your home, but if you live in an especially humid climate, you might want to invest in a dehumidifier for your home. The easiest way for impetigo to enter your body is through a cut or scrape. If you or your loved one has cuts, be sure to cover them up with band-aids or clean gauze to provide protection. Whether you have impetigo or someone you know does, make sure that person keeps her towels and clothes to herself and doesn't share with other people in the family. It's easy to pass the rash if cloth has been rubbed on the infected area.  Do not share razors or other personal care products with people who have impetigo.  Wash the infected person's clothes and towels daily, by themselves. Use hot water when washing them.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Avoid other people. Wash your hands regularly. Dry out your home. Cover cuts and scrapes. Don't share with a person who has impetigo.
