Problem: Article: Keep alert and always report suspicious incidents to the authorities. If a student or co-worker talks about killing people or threatens to bring a knife or a gun to school, report this to a teacher or law enforcement. You may prevent a disaster by doing so. Many shooters often announce their plans ahead of schedule as a way of showing off; do not take their behavior lightly or as a joke and report it immediately. Every school and office has some kind of lockdown procedure that stipulates how doors should be locked, where people should hide, and how the authorities should be called, so if you'd like to be prepared for a shooting, be familiar with your workplace's standard procedure when it comes to shootings. Unfortunately, it may be difficult to follow the protocol exactly in the event of a shooting, but knowing what it is can help you react in the most helpful way possible. Though you should not bring a weapon to school or to the workplace just in case there is a shooting, if you'd really like to be prepared, you should take self-defense classes or other classes that teach you how to fight off an attacker in the event of an attack or shooting. Knowing a few fighting tricks can help you feel more confident if you have no choice but to attack a shooter.
Summary: Report any suspicious activity. Be aware of your school or workplace's lockdown procedure. Be prepared for a shooting.

Problem: Article: This is the John F. Kennedy accent that is so famous. It's the elite version of the Boston accent. It's a very different Boston accent from, say, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck in “Good Will Hunting.”   Obviously, Kennedy is the gold standard for Brahmin dialects. To master it, why not watch some of his old speeches on YouTube? For example, you can find his opening statement in the 1960 presidential debate online.  U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is another politician who speaks with a Brahmin accent. If trying to speak in a Boston Brahmin accent, use the Boston English, but with a British tone. Some people think the Boston Brahmin accent is harder to find these days. It's the upper-crust accent more associated with English immigration. Brahmin accents are more likely to put the emphasis on a back vowel not a front or center vowel. For example, Harvard is pronounced "Hahvid." Blue-collar Boston accents can change slightly depending on the specific working-class neighborhood they derive from.  Speak in a Southie Boston dialect. The South Boston dialect is sometimes called “Southie.” Southie is the dialect used in working class Boston areas that were made up of Irish, Italian and other immigrant groups. Some blue-collar Bostonians replace "r" with "v." For example, the word brains becomes “bvains.” An example of a Southie accent would be Ben Affleck's role in the movie, the Town. This accent is closest to the stereotypical Irish accent, and is most heavily influenced by the Irish. The north end and east end dialects have some Italian immigrant influence. To learn a Boston accent, strike up conversations with real Bostonians or watch videos of real Bostonians speaking. Observe how they speak. If you listen to a lot of people speaking with a real Boston accent, it will be easier to pick up.  You can also look up “Boston to English” dictionaries online that will translate common words into different dialects used in Boston.   Study people who speak who have the strongest accents possible. It's easier to learn it that way. Finding a native speaker of the accent and speaking with them in person is the best yet. So go to Boston. Don't just listen to them talk, either. Study their facial movements when they talk and try to mimic them by looking into a mirror while you speak. You could hire a voice coach. They will have you listen to a native speaker, and then they will record you saying the same words. Or, they will ask you to answer questions. Then, the conversation will be more natural. There are many YouTube videos that describe how to speak a Boston accent. One of the best ways to learn how to do it is to watch the locals speaking in their natural habitat, such as a city council member talking at a meeting.   You can find books with CDS that will teach you how to speak different Boston accents, such as Southie.
Summary: Speak in a Brahmin dialect. Learn neighborhood differences. Listen to people speak with the accent.

Problem: Article: At first, you might notice strange or incongruent behavior in the relationship. Gaslighting can begin very subtly. Having felt like you’ve had a good time together or that you really like the person, you might write off the strange behavior and move on. Maybe it was a first or second date that went really well up until the end, when the person left abruptly or made a rude comment.  If you’re upset yet the person insists that it’s “no big deal” or “just a joke,” go with your gut and don’t excuse the strange behavior. As gaslighting progresses, the thoughts may transform from, “Why do they behave so strangely?” to, “What’s wrong with me?” Your partner may blame you or you may begin to blame yourself. Your partner may say, “I’m doing this for your own good,” or, “If you didn’t hurt me, I wouldn’t hurt you back. It’s your fault.” You might blame yourself for not being a ‘good enough’ partner or for constantly letting your partner down. If every problem in the relationship is your fault and you feel like the relationship isn’t working because of you, think again. You’re likely taking all the blame for what goes wrong when, in fact, it’s a joint effort. Even if the facts don’t add up, you may feel confused and internalize the flaw instead of seeing the discrepancy in the situation. You may try desperately to understand your partner’s point of view or to help them see yours, to no avail. You might feel like you cannot trust your emotions or yourself.  This can lead to not feeling any sense of trust in yourself or your emotions. You might actually begin to think you’re going crazy. You may ask yourself, “Am I imagining things? My partner sounds rational, but I feel irrational. Is it a problem with me and how I interpret things?” When you experience discrepancies in how you think or feel and are told you are wrong, you may start to wonder, “Am I crazy? Is my perception off? Am I a monster? Am I overly sensitive?” These obsessive thoughts may run through your mind over and over throughout the day. By your partner telling you that your reality is wrong and not real, you may begin to question every experience you have, both with and without your partner. You may begin to doubt who you are and how you see the world. You might ask yourself, “Am I too sensitive?” over and over until you’re really not sure what is real and what isn’t.
Summary: Identify feelings of disbelief. Recognize if you constantly feel blame. Identify emotional confusion. Notice obsessive thoughts.
