Write an article based on this "Gather a few sheets of paper and a cardstock cover. Cut the pages and cover down to the same size. Stack the sheets and cover together and secure them with binder clips."
article: Use anywhere from 5 to 15 sheets, depending on how thick your paper is and how many pages you want your notebook to have. Try printer paper, loose leaf, cardstock, scrapbook paper, drawing paper, handmade paper, or a variety of paper types. Use a stiffer piece of cardstock for the cover, in the color of your choice.  Saddle-stitched notebooks work best when they’re left thin. Avoid overstuffing your notebook since it won’t lay flat when it’s done. If you’re using lightweight paper like printer paper, feel free to use up to 15 sheets. For thicker papers, use only 5 or 6 sheets for your notebook. To determine how many pages your notebook will have, multiply the number of sheets you’re using by 2. Each piece of paper will be folded in half, so if you start with 8 sheets of paper you’ll have a 16-page notebook. If you want to use differently-sized sheets of paper or cardstock for the cover, trim the larger sheets down to the same size as the smaller ones using a paper cutter.  If you want a rustic-looking notebook, some slight variations in size can look nice in the finished product. The soft edges of handmade paper can look especially pretty amongst other types of cut paper. If you want a neat and orderly notebook of all the same paper type, stick with a standard paper size so you don’t have to do any cutting. Place the sheets of paper in a stack on a cutting mat, then lay the cover on top. Arrange the stack so that the long sides run parallel to your body. Adjust the pages until the top, bottom, and sides are perfectly lined up beneath the cover. Place 2 binder clips on either side to hold the stack in alignment. Think of the stack of pages as if it’s a book with a spine is running down the middle. The back cover should be to your left and the front cover should be to your right.

If you're over 25 and believe you still look young enough to try it, submit your photos to reputable agencies through their websites or snail-mail. Be honest with yourself. If you're over 25 and have ruled out a career in high fashion, or an agent advised you to go commercial, by all means, listen to him/her and GO COMMERCIAL!"
article: That means, no tanning! EVER. Unless of course it's sunless, in which case, don't overdo it, and don't look orange. Ask a family member or friend who you think would be bold enough to tell you if you look orange or not. If you do, tone it down or avoid it all together. Photographers will apply bronzer to your skin if they think it's too pale. Agencies usually cut off open calls to models over the age of 25. Take 4 photos of yourself. The first should be a photo of the front of your face with NO MAKEUP on. (if you insist on wearing it, however, make sure you keep it down to mascara and concealer that matches your skin tone perfectly). Second, a photo of your profile. Third, a full body shot of you in a bikini (NEVER send nude photos. They are UNACCEPTABLE). And finally, a full body shot of you in a bikini from the side. Are you a size 4, 6, or 8? Are you over 5'9"? If not, you should probably go with commercial/print/plus-size modeling. Seek out agencies with these divisions. You can have tremendous success as a commercial/print model, and best of all, unlike those of us in high fashion, you never expire. You can model until you die. Plus, it's still super glam, super fun, and you have the opportunity to make lots of money.

Taking the time to listen without judgement for the root cause of this choice is important. You can’t work to fix the problem unless you know what you are dealing with.  The most common reason for a student to drop out is either they have missed too many days already in the school year or they feel hopeless because they are beyond the point of fixing a failing grade. Both of these situations can be addressed, but the student may not understand this. Other reasons students consider dropping out may include being bullied, a teen pregnancy, depression problems with drugs/alcohol or social problems at school. When you probe to get information about why they are considering dropping out, you have to be prepared for whatever you find out. Instead of getting angry or yelling, offer your support. Ask how you can help.  Being supportive does not mean enabling their behavior. If dropping out seems like a good idea because they simply do not like the responsibility, your student needs to know that if he/she drops out you will expect rent and financial contributions to the household via a job. Some students consider dropping out simply to enjoy their “freedom” by just staying home. This should not be an option; if they drop out they get a job like other adults do. Dropping out of school is an adult choice. Having a trusted adult they can talk to in order to solve the problem will go a long way to give them hope and a view towards the future.  Community resources are available for teen parents, teenagers needing drug/alcohol treatment, or mental health counseling. If their issue is tied to a physical or psychological problem making an appointment for a checkup with their doctor is the first step in getting help. Schools often have resource centers as well, so checking in with a guidance counselor with your student’s permission can also help. The school will also be able to tell you about alternative learning options if that would help. For cases where the problem is actually with something or someone at school, a visit to the school is a good first step. You may be able to solve a social problem like bullying by contacting the principal. A problem with a teacher can be solved with a schedule change, while tutoring can help with a failing grade. In an extreme case you may even consider home schooling options, the opportunity to start college classes early or to finish school on-line. Exploring all the academic option will help you to find the best fit to finish school for your student. Children who have good relationships with their parents come to them with problems and listen to their advice.  Children with parents who are actively involved in school and show that they value education are less likely to drop out. Model life-long learning and encourage personal growth beyond the basics at school. Encourage your student to explore hobbies or volunteer with groups that interest them to explore possible careers. Doing this activity together is a great way to find a common interest and also get your student thinking about the future. A future goal of college makes dropping out less of an option. Setting aside time to do non-school activities together builds the connection and makes new memories. A student who feels they have talents beyond school may be less likely to be overwhelmed by an occasional failing grade and not look towards dropping out as the only fix. Sometimes, parents are so busy telling kids what to do that they miss small messages that represent a cry for help. Pay attention to your kids and when they talk, engage and listen. While hearing your child wants to drop out may seem like it came out of nowhere, it usually is the end of a long process. There are often signs and being involved in all stages of their education can give you a good indication if things have changed.
