Slowly stop accepting their invitations to hang out. If they invite you over to their house, avoid it. Pretend to be ill or make an excuse.  Try one of these examples:  “I’m not really in the mood to hang out today.” “Thanks for the invitation, but I’m not feeling very well today.”   Also, quit confiding in them. Continuing the intimacy of friendship will only make it harder to end the relationship in the long run. Start coming up with reasons that you can't see them. This will help if they are bad company and you want to gradually stop hanging out with them. Eventually they should start to notice and leave you alone.  Some good examples of excuses could be that you have to babysit, that your parents are monitoring you, or you could even sign up for school activities and say they are taking up too much of your time. Try one of these examples:  “I appreciate the offer, but I have a lot of homework tonight.” “I can’t hang out today because my parents are making me do my chores at home.” Talk to them about their behavior and tell them why their actions bother you. Give them advice about how to change if they are willing to hear it.  Some ways you could help them are by telling them honestly how their behavior makes you feel, talking to a counselor or their parents with them, offering to help them with something stressful in their life that might be causing them to act out (like homework, trouble at home, etc.), or helping them find positive outlets in their life (like sports, church, and other hobbies or school activities). Try one of these examples:  “It bothers me when you make me feel like I’m not a good friend.” “I don’t like feeling pressured to do things I don’t want to do. I wish you wouldn’t do that.” “I’ll be happy to help you figure out a way to deal with that situation.” If they persist with their bad behavior and won't leave you alone, continue to resist them. But if they still continue to follow you, tell them you don't want to hang out with them anymore. Try one of these examples:  “I don’t think being friends with you is good for me right now. I think I need to take a break.” “I feel like I need to focus on other things right now. I can’t hang out with you anymore.”

summary: Begin to distance yourself. Make excuses to avoid them. Try to help them if you really want to continue to hang out with them. Don't be afraid to stand up for yourself.


Summarize the following:
The Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of two numbers is the largest number that's a factor of both numbers. Here's how to find the GCF of 30 and 36, using prime factorization:  Find the prime factorizations of the two numbers. The prime factorization of 30 is 2 x 3 x 5. The prime factorization of 36 is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3. Find a number that appears on both prime factorizations. Cross it out once on each list and write it on a new line. For example, 2 is on both lists, so we write 2 on a new line. We're left with 30 = 2 x 3 x 5 and 36 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 3. Repeat until there are no more factors in common. There's also a 3 on both lists, so write it on your new line to make 2 and 3. Compare 30 = 2 x 3 x 5 and 36 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 3. There are no more numbers left in common. To find the GCF, multiply all the shared factors together. We just have 2 and 3 in our example, so the GCF is 2 x 3 = 6. This is the largest number that is both a factor of 30, and a factor of 36. Use the Greatest Common Factor whenever you suspect a fraction is not in simplest form. Find the GCF of the numerator and denominator, using the process above. Once you've found it, divide both parts of the fraction by the GCF. The answer will be the same fraction in simplest form.  For example, simplify the fraction 30/36. We already found out that the GCF is 6, so divide both the numerator and denominator by 6: 30 ÷ 6 = 5 36 ÷ 6 = 6  30/36 = 5/6 The Least Common Multiple (LCM) of two numbers is the smallest number that has both of the first two numbers as factors. For example, the LCM of 2 and 3 is 6, because it has both 2 and 3 as factors. Here's an example of finding LCM from prime factorization:  Start with two prime factorizations. For example, the prime factorization of 126 is 2 x 3 x 3 x 7. The prime factorization of 84 is 2 x 2 x 3 x 7. For each unique factor, compare the number of times it appears in each list. Pick a list where it appears the greatest number of times, and circle each instance. For example, 2 appears once in the factors of 126, but twice in the list for 84. Circle the 2 x 2 in the second list. Repeat for each unique factor. For example, 3 appears most often in the first list, so circle the 3 x 3 there. 7 only appears once on each list, so circle a single 7. (It doesn't matter which list you choose when there's a tie.) Multiply all of your circled numbers together to find the LCM. In our example, the least common multiple of 126 and 84 is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 7 = 252. This is the smallest number that has both 126 and 84 as factors. Before you can add two fractions together, their denominators must be the same. Find the Least Common Multiple of the two denominators. Multiply each fraction so that the new denominator is the LCM. Once both fractions are in this form, you can add them together.  For example, we want to solve 1/6 + 4/21. Using the method above, we can find the LCM of 6 and 21. The answer is 42. Turn 1/6 into a fraction with 42 as the denominator. To do this, solve 42 ÷ 6 = 7. Multiply 1/6 x 7/7 = 7/42. To turn 4/21 into a fraction with 42 as the denominator, solve 42 ÷ 21 = 2. Multiply 4/21 x 2/2 = 8/42. Now that we have the fractions in forms with the same denominator, we can add them together easily: 7/42 + 8/42 = 15/42.

summary: Find the Greatest Common Factor of two numbers. Simplify fractions with the GCF. Find the Least Common Multiple of two numbers. Use the LCM when adding fractions.
