Problem: Article: Even if your parents are pretty busy, you might have a relative, coach, clergy member, friend's parent, or neighbor who can hang out. They can give you some time and positive attention, and maybe teach you some things that they are good at.  Building a relationship with someone other than your parents can help you develop interpersonal skills, and raise your self-esteem and self-confidence. Join a club or sports team in your school or community. This can help you find mentors and friends, and give you a feeling of belonging and accomplishment. Look for groups and activities that match well with your skills and interests.   For example, if you love to sing, you might join a youth choir at your school or a cultural center in your area. If you're more athletic, sign up a team sport like soccer or softball. You don't need to get attention only from your parents or other adults. Your friends and siblings will often be free and happy to hang out with you. Walk up to them, or pick up the phone, and ask if and when they are free to spend time with you.   Making new friends can feel empowering, so don't be afraid to step outside your comfort zone to meet new people. Animals and pets make us happy because they offer us love and companionship. If your family doesn't have a pet, you could look to friends' pets or neighbor pets. Try becoming a dog walker, cat sitter, or volunteer at an animal shelter. Loneliness can be a difficult feeling, and if you are struggling to manage it, you can get help. Therapy can give you the means to express your emotions and help you better understand what you're going through. You may need your parents' permission to see a therapist, so use this opportunity to talk to them about how you feel. Here are some reasons you might want to talk to a counselor:   You don't know how to cope with your feelings. You feel like acting out, or hurting yourself, to get attention (for example, causing trouble at school). You feel like hiding from your friends and family. You feel tired, and find it hard to enjoy anything. Your parents aren't meeting your basic needs (food, water, shelter), or they are being very mean to you (humiliating, name-calling, etc.).
Summary: Get attention from a mentor. Find a group that shares your interests. Look to your friends and your siblings. Spend time with pets. Talk to a counselor if you are really having a hard time.

Problem: Article: Before you administer Narcan, make sure to check the person for symptoms of an overdose. Symptoms may include:  Slow or shallow breathing. Gasping noises while sleeping or snoring in an unusual way. Skin that is pale or bluish. A slow heartbeat. Low blood pressure. Unresponsive and will not wake up. . Call 911 or emergency services in your country right away! It is important to ensure that help is on the way before you do anything. Check the person's mouth and throat to ensure that there is nothing blocking their airways. Place one hand on the person's chin, tilt up their head slightly, and pinch their nose closed. Then, make a seal around their mouth with your mouth, breathe in and blow the breath into their mouth. You should see their chest rise as you deliver the rescue breath and then fall as you remove your mouth from their mouth. Deliver one breath every five seconds. Prepare the nasal syringe immediately after giving several rescue breaths (if necessary). Pry or pull off the yellow caps. There are usually two – one at each end of the syringe.  A syringe is not a needle, it's a plastic device that holds the needle – or in this case, what the Narcan screws onto. You can find Narcan through the getnaloxonenow.org website. The tube of Narcan (also labeled under the generic name naloxone) may have a red cap. Pry this off and discard it. Grip the clear plastic wings of the nasal atomizer (the cone-shaped applicator), and insert it onto the syringe. Gently screw the Narcan container onto the barrel of the syringe.  Do not prime or test the spray. It is single-use and can't be reused.  Some Narcan nasal sprays come in single-use, pre-assembled packages. They contain two needle-free devices, one to use in each nostril. Lay the victim on their back and tilt their head back. Place the white cone applicator into one nostril of the victim's nose. Give a short, hard push onto the end of the capsule to spray the Narcan. Deliver half of the container (1cc). Repeat the process immediately in the victim's other nostril.
Summary: Check for signs of an overdose. Call emergency services Check the person's airway and administer rescue breaths. Remove the yellow caps from the syringe. Take the red cap off the Narcan. Put the three pieces together. Administer the Narcan half in each nostril.

Problem: Article: The best way to tell if your blue cheese has spoiled is to smell it. Fresh blue cheese has a strong scent, but it changes as it starts to go bad. Give the cheese a sniff, and if it has an ammonia-like smell, it is probably spoiled. It's a good idea to give blue cheese a smell when you've just brought it home. That way, you'll know what it smells like when it's fresh and be better able to detect when the scent begins to change. Fresh blue cheese already has mold in it, which is typically blue or green in color. However, you want to pay attention to the color of the creamy part of the cheese. It's normally a white, beige, or yellow shade. If you notice that it's started to turn pink, brown, or green, your blue cheese has likely spoiled.  Just as with the scent of the cheese, make sure to note the color of your blue cheese when it's fresh so it's easier to spot changes if it goes bad. In addition to color changes, study the cheese to see if its surface appears slimy or fuzzy, and discard if you notice changes in texture. If your blue cheese still smells the same and hasn't changed in color, you can usually tell if it's gone bad by giving it a taste. While fresh blue cheese has a strong, sharp taste, old cheese becomes especially biting when it starts to spoil. If you taste a bit of the blue cheese and it's too strong to enjoy, you should throw it away. In most cases, eating a small bit of spoiled blue cheese isn't going to make you sick, so tasting it isn't dangerous.
Summary:
Smell the cheese. Consider the color(s). Taste the cheese.
