Article: Pay attention to how your parents respond to LGBTQ issues in the news. Take note if they make homophobic remarks or talk negatively about issues like marriage equality and adoption. Getting a feel for their basic outlook can help you anticipate how they'd react if and when you come out to them.  When and if you do tell them, understand that your parents might feel shocked, sad, angry, guilty, or afraid. It can take some people more time to process news than others. Try to respect their emotional response, and have faith that their emotions can change over time. If your parents react angrily or if they don't have the reaction you wanted, try not to lose hope. Remember that they cannot define who you are, and you have the right to live your life as you want. In a perfect world, no one would have to live in the closet. However, your safety should be your number one concern. If one or both of your parents have ever threatened to harm you or any member of the LGBTQ community, consider holding off until you know you can come out safely. For instance, if you really need to be honest with them but are concerned about your safety, you could wait until you live on your own or are otherwise out of harm's way before sending them your letter. In addition to physical safety, take your financial well being into account when deciding how, when, and if you should come out. If you live at home or depend on your parents financially, it might be in your best interest to come out when you're financially independent. Ask yourself, “Do my parents make homophobic comments or otherwise indicate that they wouldn't accept me for who I am? Would they continue to let me live at home, or pay for my college? What are my options if they kicked me out of the house?” There are others who have gone through a similar process of coming out. If you are feeling frustrated, scared, alone, or confused, you can contact one of these organizations for advice, assistance, and support. Some useful national groups and organizations include:  PFLAG Queer People of Color & Allies (QPOCA) Human Rights Campaign The Trevor Project Before coming out to your parents, identify family, friends, and anyone else you can trust, like counselors or teachers. If you think you might need a place to stay, ask someone to stay with them for a little while. At the very least, having someone else to listen and lend emotional support will help you get through a difficult coming out process.

Article: They’re not just for kids anymore -- if they ever were. Pull out the classic games that you love, and play like it’s the summer of 1999 and you have nothing else to do. It might take you a while to remember how to play the game, but be patient with yourself. Remember this isn’t work. It’s play.  If you feel like you want more interaction, get someone to play with you.It doesn’t matter if you’re both out of practice, it can still be fun. To get a little bit of physical activity, try the Nintendo Wii. Pull out some sheets. Take the sofa cushions off of the sofa. Stand them up to create four walls. Then use anything you can find like books or chairs to help stabilize the cushions when you stand them up, and toss the sheet over the top to create a cozy ambiance.  Now, you have to decide what to do in there.  Crawl in and read or watch television. Pretend you’re on an adventure and your fort is a small boat drifting across the sea. If you step out, you’ll fall in the ocean. Looks like you’ll have to stay inside and sleep. Prank call people as you lounge in your fort. Purchase them from a toy store or the dollar store if you are low on brain teasing games. Really challenge yourself by doing a puzzle with more than 500 pieces, and if you want to make it even harder, do a puzzle with an image that has similar colors and shapes such as a field of grass. The fewer the identifying marks, the harder the puzzle. If you’re not the only person at home, make having fun at home a group activity. Monopoly, Sorry, and Taboo are a few options for family games. Also, try Twister or charades if you want to play a more interactive game. Play cards instead of a board game if that is more your speed. There are nearly hundreds of options: Hearts, Spades, Tunk, Poker, Speed, Blackjack.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Play video games. Build a fort. Do a puzzle. Play a boardgame.
Article: The weather starts to cool down during the fall, so you should wear darker, more neutral colors. Avoid bright and light colors such as whites, pastels, and neons. The colors that are most suitable for fall are:  Dark colors, such as burgundies, navies, and plums. Neutral colors such as browns, grays, and blacks. Earth tones, such as browns, tans, beiges, forest greens, dark greens, and olive greens. Warm colors based on the fall leaves, such as creams, gold, bronze, dark reds, and dark oranges. There are certain patterns that are more associated with fall than others. Fabrics with bright, cheerful tropical flowers (such as hibiscus) will remind people more of summer or spring, and may look out of place on a cool, rainy, fall day. Plaid and houndstooth are perfect for fall, however; they are more somber and reserved, which blends well with the cool weather. Consider wearing dark florals instead. An example of dark florals is anything with a black, navy, plum, or burgundy background. Flowers that work well with fall include roses, thistle, and pansies. You want something that can keep you warm. Avoid linens, silks, and light cottons. Not only are they too light for fall, but they are also often associated with warmer weather. The fabrics that are the most suitable for fall are:  Leather, suede, and pleather or imitation leather Flannel, felt, and wool Denim, corduroy, and chambray Cotton Lace
