Article: One of the best ways to improve your intelligence is to read a variety of different things. Reading non-fiction, including books, magazines, and newspapers, gives you facts that build your base of knowledge. Readers are also more likely to be good at solving problems and finding meaningful patterns. This includes fiction as well. Fictional works can help improve your pattern-finding too. Plus, reading fiction can improve your emotional intelligence, that is your ability to read and respond to other people’s feelings. . You probably already know a lot of facts and other information, but sometimes have trouble recalling it. Find ways to work on improving your fact recall, such as writing down information when you learn it the first time. When learning new information, find ways to associate it with other, easier to remember, things. Try to use or develop acronyms (using first letters to create words, like “ROY G. BIV” for the colors of the rainbow) or acrostics (using first letters to create sentences, like “Every Good Boy Does Fine” for lines of a treble music staff). Find people smarter than you are, and try to spend time with them. These people will be able to share their knowledge with you, even if it is just showing you better ways to learn things. It can be tough on your confidence at times, but it will help you remind yourself that there are always things you can learn. Rather than reading the same books or watching the same TV shows, look for something new and different. Visit a museum, see a music group, or even do something adventurous like hiking. People tend to think those who experience more diverse events are more intelligent. This will also give you good stories to tell about looking at art or listening to new and interesting things.

Problem: Article: If he calls you ugly or fat, never believe it. Remind yourself that he's just upset that you broke up and doesn't know how to deal with it maturely. You don't have to go out of your way to give him compliments, but don't be nasty in return if your ex-boyfriend says something mean to you. Keep your cool in these situations and show him that what he's doing isn't bothering you. This means being nice behind his back as well as to his face. Never try to get even and spread rumors about him. If you do things like this, you will be acting just as mean and immature as your ex, and you will probably make the tension between the two of you worse. If you and your ex-boyfriend have mutual friends and his mean behavior is making social interactions uncomfortable for you, let your friends know what's going on. They may be able to reason with your ex in a way that you would not be able to, or they may decide to stop inviting him to events as long as he continues to be mean to you.  Depending on the relationship that both you and your ex have with your friends, you may have to be willing to cut ties with some of them. Keep in mind that someone who encourages your ex to be mean to you is not really your friend at all. Talking to your friends about the situation will also give you a way to vent. Supportive friends will make you feel good about yourself, which will make it much easier to deal with your mean ex. If you ex's behavior gets serious enough that you feel like you are in danger, report him to an adult at your school or to the police. You should never have to live in fear of being harmed or harassed, so don't be shy about asking for help.
Summary: Never let it bother you! Respond with kindness. Be the better person. Talk to your friends. Report dangerous behavior.

Place a safety pin on the back of the dress, halfway up the length of the bride's train. This is where the loop will go. Thread the needle by doubling up the thread and inserting it into the needle. Tie the end of the thread with a knot to secure it.  Insert the needle into the underside of the dress. Pull the thread all the way through. Make a small stitch and pull the thread most the way through to create a loop. Grab the loop with your fingers and pull the remaining thread through the loop to create a knot. Repeat this process until you have a loop big enough to fit your button. Secure the loop by running the needle and thread through the loop to tie it off. Insert the needle through the fabric to the other side and make two knots. Cut off any excess thread. Place a safety pin on the back of the dress, a foot above the bride's knees. This is where the button will go. Thread the needle and make a knot at the end of the thread. Thread the needle through the underside of the dress.  Attach the button to the dress using the needle and thread. Stitch the button four times to make sure it is secure. Secure the button by running the needle and thread through the fabric to the other side. Make two knots and cut off any excess thread. Hook the loop over the button to lift the dress's train off of the floor. Rearrange the folds of fabric around the bustle to make the bustle appear bigger and to give it more volume.  The one-point overbustle is the least expensive way to bustle a dress, but it's also the least secure. The one point overbustle is only recommended for dresses with lighter fabric. Do not try the over bustle if your dress is heavy or has a particularly long train.
