There are many variations to the rules of beer pong. In this variation, the same team continues throwing 2 balls per round until there is a miss. After the turn is completed, the opposite team throws at the first team's cups, and the process repeats. This is one of the most common variations on beer pong. If you hit the cup you called, your opponent drinks that cup. If you miss your target and it goes in the wrong cup, it counts as a miss, and that cup remains on the table. The opposing team gets a last turn; this is called a “rebuttal.” They keep shooting until they miss, at which time the game is over. If they make the ball into all of the opposing teams’ cups in their last turn, then a 3 cup overtime is played. Now, the teams compete in sudden death to figure out the final winner. In this variation, a bounce shot counts as 2 cups, and the player that made the shot can pick the other cup that he/she wants to be removed.

Summary: Throw two balls per round. Call out which cup you are going to hit before you throw. Give the losing team one last turn after a team has won. Make a bounce shot count for 2 cups.


Wrap a flexible measuring tape around your wrist and add at least 2 inches (5.1 cm) to the measurement. Then, cut your firm material, such as cord or leather, into 4 equal pieces according to the new measurement. Although you can use a thick yarn, your round bracelet won't be as sturdy as a bracelet made with leather or cord. Hold the 4 pieces near 1 end and tie a knot about 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the end. Then, lay the knot on the table and place a piece of tape over it so the knot doesn't slide around. Separate the 4 strands so they fan out and away from each other. If you're using 2 colors, alternate the colors when you arrange the strands. Make the knot at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) away from the bottom of the strands. Then, peel the braid off of the tape and wrap it around your wrist. Tie a knot using both ends of the braid so it doesn't slide off of your wrist. If you can't tie the bracelet yourself, ask a friend to help you or tie it before you slide it onto your wrist.

Summary: Cut 4 strands of cord, leather, or thick yarn into equal lengths. Gather 1 end of the strands in a knot and tie it to your work surface. Make a knot when you reach the end and tie the bracelet around your wrist.

People who struggle with insecurity often feel anxious about work, school, friends, family, or their own self-image.  It can seem to come out of nowhere, or it may be triggered by past negative events.  Be open and willing to listen.  Listen to what's bothering them.  Things that seem small to you might actually be bigger, deeper issues for them.  For example, if the person is worried about the shoes they're wearing, this insecurity might reflect a larger anxiety about whether they fit in with their peers. Be non-judgmental.  Try to understand how they may feel, and what you might need if you were in their shoes. If they are hesitant to talk with you, consider just saying a few words to show you understand their feelings, such as "I'm sorry about what you're feeling" or "That sounds tough." While some insecure people may come off as rude or cold, avoid letting your own insecurities or judgments play out.  Be kind, polite, and respectful.  While it may be difficult to be this way at times, it will make it easier in the long run to deal with someone who is feeling insecure or unappreciated.  Use body language that indicates you're willing to help and listen.  Maintain eye contact and give your full attention. Smile and be open to talking with them about what's bothering them. If the two of you are friends, it's important to talk with them about how they're feeling.  If they are acquaintances to you, consider ways to be more open and talk with them, without making them feel uncomfortable.  Consider starting the conversation in a general way, but then point out something that you've noticed in them.  For example, "Hey, how's it going?  I noticed you didn't come to practice after school yesterday, and wondered if you're doing okay?" Be open to the fact that some people may not feel ready to talk about what's bothering them, but it's important to show that you're concerned.  For example, "It looks like it's been a tough day.  If you want to talk, I'm here." If you need to stop the conversation, then use polite words and say something like, "It was nice to talk with you.  Okay if we catch up more tomorrow?" or "I hope you feel better.  I'm free to talk more the evening, if you'd like." Sometimes, insecure people feel underappreciated or unloved.   By showing an interest them, you may help them to feel better.  Spend time with them one-on-one if possible.  You may be able to see what's bothering them in a more real way.  Insecure people are less likely to be open and honest in larger crowds. Consider asking them to do things with you and your friends.  Make them feel included. Show that you care with your words and actions. Demonstrate that you are emotionally connected to their feelings and insecurities in a genuine way.  Say things like, "Just know that I'm here for you and care about you" or "I know you can overcome what you're facing. You're a strong person." If this person is a close friend, family member, or partner, consider giving hugs or other forms of affection as appropriate. Only hug them after asking first and if they are open to this. Tell them it's going to be okay, and things will get better.  Provide hope and motivation to succeed rather than reminding them of the bad things.
Summary: Understand their perspective. Be kind and respectful. Ask them about what's bothering them. See opportunities to get to know them better. Provide reassurance and empathy.
