Summarize the following:
Before you talk to your friend, make sure that you carefully think about what might be causing the problem. Try to identify specific behaviors or situations that may be contributing to the issue. This will help prevent the conversation from becoming too emotional.  For example, if one friend is too controlling, you can ask them to let you do things your own way. If you often argue about what to do, you both might create a list of activities and take turns doing what is on each person's list. Find a neutral place where you and your best friend can talk without interruptions. Pay attention to what they say instead of thinking about what you are going to say next. You may feel the urge to defend yourself if you feel your best friend is misjudging the situation, but you can do that after you have let them speak. If you're the one at fault, a genuine apology will go a long way toward making your friend feel better. Make sure you are taking responsibility for hurting your friend by saying something like "I'm sorry I yelled, I know that hurts your feelings." Sometimes, humor can be the perfect way to reduce tension. Making references to fun times in the past may be just the thing to get your friend smiling again during a tense moment.  Try to get your friend talking about a happy memory, or a time you felt especially close. Asking a question like "Remember when we went to the water park?" will get them focused on the memory, and the distraction may give them time to get a handle on their anger. There's a line between joking and making fun of someone. If your best friend is crying or in pain, laughter may help or it may not. When you fight with your best friend, emotions are high and words may fly fast. During a quiet moment sitting down together, you are much more likely to really hear each other and reach a place of understanding. Take turns talking, and avoid interrupting when it's their turn to talk. Studies show your talk will be more productive if you use "I statements" such as: "I feel scared when you yell at me during arguments" or "I feel anxious when you give me the silent treatment after a fight." Whether it's you or your friend that needs to change a particular behavior, talking about it is the best way to work through your trouble. You can make suggestions to each other of ways you would like to be spoken to, or tell each other about specific times when a misunderstanding got out of control. These changes should be specific and actionable. For example, instead of saying your friend needs to nicer to you, you might ask your friend to ask you about your feelings more often.

summary: Identify which behaviors are causing a problem. Ask your friend to sit down and talk. Apologize, if appropriate. Make them laugh if things get tense. Explain how fighting makes you feel while you're both calm. Ask about what you can change.

Close your eyes and let the image form in your mind.  Certain things are given;  the flowers fill the basket and often spill over the edges.  The colors are as varied as the rainbow.  The greenery can be lush and hanging down or tall, peeking out from the crowded blossoms or straight and spiky. The holder for the flowers can be any number of items.  Google unusual flower basket containers.  A few are commonly used, sold at flower shops and nurseries, but, anything is possible.  If it will hold soil, water and flowers, and can be hung, it has potential to be a hanging basket. Any size is fine.  Depending on your mood and the time available to work, perhaps start small and do a larger one later. Your design should have three parts;  the basket or container, the flowers and lightweight rope, chains or thin plastic strips supporting it.  You can embellish this drawing and make it as detailed as you want.  Or leave it sketchy with just the various elements lightly blocked in.

summary: Picture what a hanging flower basket looks like. Study container possibilities. Pick a piece of heavy watercolor paper. Sketch, in pencil, the design.

A normal flow requires 3-6 pads or tampons per day on average, but for a heavy flow you may need to change your hygiene product every 3-4 hours – or more. You’ll learn your flow and be better able to gauge how regularly you need to change your hygiene product. Sometimes with heavy periods using a pad can make you feel nervous or dirty. Nobody else will know if you’re using a pad or not, but if you feel uncomfortable with them then try to learn to use other methods. Tampons and menstrual cups can help keep you dry throughout the day and are probably more comfortable if you’re being active. If you change your tampon regularly enough, you can even swim during heavy flow days.  Consider using a menstrual cup. Some of them have a greater capacity than pads or tampons and you don't need to carry any supplies throughout the day. A lot of young people have trouble with tampons and cups at first, so don’t be embarrassed if you find it difficult. Ask your mom, other female relative, friend, or doctor to give you advice on using them. You can also ask male relatives if you feel they'll be understanding - or use WikiHow! Tampons and pads come in different shapes and absorbency. Make sure you’re using the right ones for your heavy flow. “Super” tampons and “overnight pads” offer more protection to your clothes and linens. If you don’t have overnight pads – which are generally longer and thicker – try using two pads when you go to bed, one in the front and one in the back of your underwear.
summary: Change your menstrual hygiene products often. Learn to use a variety of menstrual hygiene products. Use the right absorbency for your flow.
