Article: Huntington’s disease is a genetic disorder. This means that if you have a parent or grandparent with the disease, you may carry the gene for it. Go over your family’s medical history, looking for people who had Huntington's or who had symptoms of it. Share this medical history with your doctor.  If you have a parent with Huntington’s, you have a 50% chance of having the disease yourself. Remember that Huntington's disease has similar symptoms to other disorders, so you may want to check for anyone who has similar symptoms in your family. If you know you have a family history of it, however, you should see a doctor as soon as these symptoms present. Because the gene for Huntington's is dominant, you usually can only get the gene if a direct ancestor (such as parents or grandparents) had it too. While extremely rare, a very small percentage of people may develop the gene without having a family history. Huntington’s can cause you to jerk, twitch, fidget, or shake without meaning to. As the disease progresses, these movements may get worse. If you think you have these involuntary movements, write down when they occur and what part of your body is affected.  Common involuntary movements include eye twitches, strange facial expressions, and flailing arms or legs. Involuntary muscle twitching can be a symptom of many diseases, including Ataxia, Myoclonus, and Parkinson's disease. Always check for other symptoms before making a diagnosis. Huntington’s can cause slow or awkward movements, which may make you drop objects or fall more often than usual. As the disease progresses, this may get worse, making it difficult to walk. You may take more pauses while talking or you may stumble over common words. Ask family and friends if they notice any difference in your speech. If you’re concerned about your speech, consider recording yourself speaking and let your doctor listen.  As Huntington’s progresses, you may lose the ability to speak. Remember that slurred speech can be a sign of many different disorders, including a brain tumor, Parkinson's disease, or Lyme disease. While you should still see a neurologist, check for other symptoms as well. Huntington’s can affect how quickly you think or make judgments. You may notice that it is harder to remember things or you may feel disoriented and confused at times.  This can be a difficult thing to judge for yourself. If a friend or family member comes to you with concerns about your cognitive ability, go to a doctor. In people under the age of 20, you may notice a sudden drop or change in academic performance. Anxiety, irritability, apathy, agitation, and depression may all be signs of Huntington’s. Keep an eye out for changes in your behavior. Writing in a journal can help you track your mood and emotional state.  For example, you might state that you are feeling very angry or irritable on a certain day. This can help you find patterns if they exist. Even if you're not diagnosed with Huntington's, this journal can help a therapist diagnose or treat you. Huntington’s can cause suicidal feelings. If you’re feeling suicidal, reach out for help. Call a suicide hotline to speak to someone. In the U.S., call 1-800-273-8255. In the UK, call 116 123, and in Australia, call 13 11 14. If you start experiencing hallucinations, paranoia, or psychosis, get to a doctor as soon as possible. Juvenile Huntington’s shares the same symptoms as adult-onset Huntington’s, but many young people may also have seizures. If you or someone else develops seizures, get immediate medical attention. Juvenile Huntington's is a faster and more aggressive form of the disease.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Check your family history for Huntington’s. Monitor any involuntary movements or twitching. Watch out for increased falling, stumbling, or clumsiness. Listen for slurred or slowed speech. Observe any changes in memory, judgment, or concentration. Check for any changes in behavior or mental health. Get help for seizures in people under the age of 20.

Problem: Article: If you’ve done something small like forgetting your pencil in class or getting caught with a snack, you have little to worry about. Simply do as your teacher asks to fix the problem and then move on. There is no need to fixate on the problem and make yourself worried and distracted from the rest of the class.  For example, you might tell yourself something like “Everyone makes mistakes. I’ll do better next time.” Keep in mind that repeatedly doing small things might lead you to be in more trouble than if you just do it once. If you continue to worry, you’ll be distracted and more likely to get into trouble again. You might feel like you can lie your way out of the situation, but that rarely works. You are far better off to own up to your actions and accept responsibility. This way, your teachers are more likely to think that you are taking the situation seriously and will respect you more. You may have gotten caught breaking a rule, and now your mind has gone straight to the worst possible scenario. Instead, think about anyone else in the school that has done something similar. Try to remember what their punishment was like, or if they had one at all. This will be a good indicator as to what kind of trouble you are in. Even if you get in trouble a time or two, your life isn’t over. Avoid the urge to create a doomsday scenario in your mind. You will still be able to graduate, have a good career, and lead a happy life.
Summary: Forgive yourself for minor offenses. Avoid compounding the situation. Try to recall anyone else that committed the same offense. See the big picture.

When looking at a flirting situation, it often takes two to tango. The other girl may initiate the flirting with your boyfriend, but your boyfriend may play a part, too. Try to look closely at their interaction to see if they're both flirting or if it's really one-sided.  The point of analyzing the situation is to see how to better deal with it. Once you figure out who exactly is involved with the flirtation, you can decide whether to deal with just the other girl, your boyfriend, or both. It can also help you decide when to time any conversations you have. For instance, if she's leaning in close to him, batting her eyelashes, or puffing out her chest, she's flirting with him, especially if she engages in flirty banter. If he leans in close to her and encourages the banter, then he's flirting back. If he doesn't engage in the behavior with her, he's trying to shut down the flirting. If your boyfriend's not engaging, focus on dealing with her in the moment. You can find tips on doing so in another section of this article. You don't have to get mean, but you can deal with the flirting in subtle but meaningful ways that will help get the point across.  You can simply raise your eyebrows at her to let her you know what she's doing. You may also choose not to deal with it. If you're out in public, you may just want to move on. If your boyfriend is either starting or engaging in the behavior, wait to deal with him until you can talk to him in private. That way, you don't start a serious discussion in public, and you can do it when you aren't so agitated.
