If you violated your parents’ trust by lying to them, particularly if you have had a history of lying, then you need to make a practice of being completely honest all of the time.  Demonstrating a commitment to complete honesty will enable you to rebuild trust.  Unfortunately, this may take a long time. If the nature of your trust violation involved breaking a specific rule that your parents have set, such as no underage drinking or being home by a certain time, communicate with your parents about the house rules.  It’s important that you understand what the rules are, why the rules are in place, and how to follow them. An open dialogue with your parents about these can help you make better decisions in the future. If you have hurt someone, you should make reparations.  If you have hurt your parents by doing something that disappoints them or makes them sad, then try to understand their emotions. Putting yourself in their shoes and thinking about how you would want someone to apologize to you can help you know what will heal the wounds. If your transgression involved damage to property—for example, if you wrecked a car or vandalized public property—you need to do what you can to repair the damage.  This may mean doing what you can yourself—painting over spray-painted graffiti, hammering out a dented car panel, or cleaning toilet paper out of trees.  However, it may also mean offering to pay for the cost of repairs, as with a car accident. If you have done something that has cost someone else money, you should offer to compensate the injured party financially.  Even if this means giving up your entire paycheck for several weeks, accepting financial responsibility can go a long way towards showing that you understand the consequences of your actions.

Summary: Regain trust after lying. Come back from breaking specific rules. Alleviate hurt feelings. Recover from damage to property. Accept financial responsibility.

Pull your hand slightly back as you throw. Use your hand, wrist, and elbow for speed. Keep your shoulder still for support. Place more weight on your front foot as you throw the dart.  Do not lean or sway to the side. Keep your body still and straight. Only your arm should be moving when you throw the dart. Your elbow may raise up slightly when you throw the dart. This is okay, as it may move upward due to the force of your throw. Let your wrist snap forward as you release the dart. Make sure your wrist does not snap downward, as this will cause the dart to fly downward. The wrist snap is often done by professional players to increase the acceleration of the dart. It can also result in a more accurate and consistent throw. Once you have released the dart, let your arm continue in a throwing motion so your fingers are pointing towards your target, or down at the floor. Allow your arm to hover in the air for a moment before you drop it down. This will help you maintain good form at the end of your throw.
Summary: Throw the dart with your hand and wrist. Snap your wrist as you release the dart. Follow through at the end of the throw.
