Verbal bullying occurs when someone says something to you in order to hurt you or lower your self-esteem.  Don't be afraid to be assertive and stand up for yourself, but avoid being combative.  You can also let others know that you are being verbally bullied and ask for their help. Don't respond with anger or emotion. Bullies want to knock you down or start a fight.  Deny them this by staying calm and positive. Let the bully know that their attitude and behavior is unacceptable. Calmly listen to the bully and ask questions.  For example, “It sounds like you think I'm stupid.  Why do you feel that way?”  Bullies won't often have actual reasons and will generally stop once you open an honest dialogue with them. Physical bullying occurs when physical violence is used against another person in order to intimidate and control them.  This type of bullying is very dangerous and needs to be addressed immediately.  Don't be afraid to seek help if you are being physically bullied.  Tell someone immediately if you are being physically bullied. Bullies may threaten you with further violence or you may feel too embarrassed to talk about it.  Don't be afraid to speak up, someone will help you. Physical bullying tends to escalate.  The sooner it is addressed the safer you will be. Cyberbullying occurs virtually but its effects are just as real and serious as any other form of bullying.  This form of bullying will usually occur when a bully makes threats or remarks on-line that aim to demean, hurt, or scare another person.  Thankfully there are some established methods you can use to stop a cyberbully: Ignore any messages the bully sends to you.  Bullies want you to get mad and respond.  Ignoring them lets them know that you are not a target. Threats of violence made on-line are taken very seriously.  These can be reported to police or the FBI. Save all instances and evidence of cyberbullying.  For example, any emails from a bully that demonstrate their bullying should be downloaded or otherwise stored securely. Cut off communication.  If you are able, block their email address, phone number, or whatever method they are contacting you with. Tell someone if you are being bullied online or through some other form of technology.

Q: Most people can fairly readily tell a forced smile from a real one, sometimes called the “Duchenne” smile after a pioneer in smile research. This is because the two use different muscles and different parts of the brain. But what exactly happens? What makes a real smile look “real”?  During a genuine smile, there is voluntary and involuntary contraction of two muscles: the zygomatic major and the orbicularis oculi, which raise the corners of your mouth and the areas around your cheeks and eyes, respectively. A forced smile only uses mouth muscles, however, because we cannot voluntarily contract the orbicularis oculi. This is why some people say a real smile uses the whole face, especially the eyes. Real smiles engage separates part of the brain, as well. While a forced smile uses the motor cortex, the real deal engages the limbic system, or the brain's emotional center. Like the rest of your body, your facial muscles will get better at their job if you exercise them often. They can be strengthened and toned through use, making it easier for you to flash your smile. Facial exercises and smiling can also make you look healthier and younger.  For a simple exercise, try a plain smile. Stretch the corners of your mouth laterally and hold for 10 seconds. Then, part your lips slightly and hold another 10 seconds. Repeat, even expanding your smile if you want.  Try this exercise to erase fine lines around your mouth: pucker your lips and suck in your cheeks, then try to smile. Hold this pose until the muscles start to tire. Do it once a day. Another exercise is the “silly rabbit.” For this one, smile as widely as possible without parting your lips. Then, try to wiggle your nose back and forth. This will engage the cheek muscles. Hold for 10 seconds and repeat. As said, a real smile does not just use the mouth and lips. It also engages the upper face, causing small crinkles around our eyes. In fact, this is probably the strongest give-away between a fake smile (using only the mouth and teeth) and a full, genuine one. A natural smile should light up your entire face.  Remember to lift your cheek muscles when smiling. Your eye brows may also be engaged and slightly raised. Try practicing in front of a mirror. As an added aid, cover your mouth so that only your eyes and eyebrows are visible. You should be able to “see” the smile only from your eyes. If you worry about fine lines around your eyes, consider ways to reduce the wrinkles other than keeping a strictly neutral expression. Smoking, lack of sleep, and exposure to the sun are much bigger culprits than smiles. Cut them out of your routine. You shouldn't have to sacrifice smiling. Flashing your smile in front of a mirror is a great way to practice. It will help you to discover what your natural smile looks and feels like, but also how to control it and use it to best advantage.  As children we're often taught to say “cheese!” for photos. Actually, “cheese” isn't great for a natural smile. Sounds that end with “ah” like mocha or yoga are much better at opening your mouth while slightly raising your cheekbones, looking more natural. Practice!  Pay attention to angles. Your face and smile might look better at certain angles than others. Experiment in the mirror. Find your best side. Then, use that angle in real interactions.  Some fashion models also use the following trick: touch your tongue to the roof of your mouth, just behind the front teeth. The movement should open your jaw very slightly and better define its lines when you smile.
A: Know what makes a real smile. Exercise your smile. Learn to smile with your eyes. Practice with a mirror.

Article: Bees and wasps are attracted to the scent of rotting food. If you do need to get rid of food scraps, put them into an airtight container with the lid closed so that the smell won’t attract stinging insects. Bees and wasps are especially attracted to banana peels, so make sure you close these up right away. If you notice bees or wasps swarming over your trash cans, try placing them far away from your home and where people gather. Insects love to eat rotting food, so they will follow the trash can wherever you place it. Bees and wasps are attracted to sugar, especially in drinks like iced tea and soda. If you are drinking a sugary drink, make sure you cover it with a lid when you set it down and check it for insects next time you pick it up. Bees and wasps may crawl down your straw to get to your drink. Double check the inside of your straw before you drink out of it. In the summer, fruit trees may drop their fruit on the ground and attract insects. If you notice rotting fruit on the ground, pick it up and dispose of it quickly before any insects notice it. Make sure you put the rotting fruit into a sealed trash can that is emptied out regularly.
