Problem: Article: Arguments and disagreements can be made much shorter if you stop focusing on being right. The point isn't to "win," but to resolve the conflict. Although there are some things in life you shouldn't let go, many other things are simply not worth the trouble. Before pursuing something, analyze the situation and see if it is truly an important matter. By doing so, you can avoid unnecessary stress. It's possible that you're responsible for a particular problem. If so, recognize that and take responsibility to avoid needless argument. Understand that this isn't a mark of weakness, but maturity. Avoid bringing the past into disagreements and don't hold grudges. This will only make arguments last longer and hurt the chance of a resolution. If you see that you are constantly getting into arguments and disagreements, you may have a problem with anger or stress. If so, you should consider seeking help from a mental health professional.
Summary: Solve the problem instead of being right. Pick your battles. Admit your mistakes. Focus on the present. Recognize if you need to seek help.

Problem: Article: Although there are many causes of conjunctivitis, the symptoms are largely the same. These include:  Squinting or Blinking: The surface of the eye feels hot and itchy, so the cat may squint or even blink more than usual, or perhaps rub her face along the ground. This is one of the most common signs of conjunctivitis in cats. Red Eye: A red or bloodshot eye. This affects the white of the eye, the lining of the eyelid, or the surface of the third eyelid. When you look carefully the tissue has a rosy glow, or in more extreme cases it is obviously reddened. Discharge: The type of discharge will differ depending on the underlying cause of the conjunctivitis. If an infection is present, the inflammation is usually accompanied by a yellow-green discharge from the eye.  In cases of dry eye causing conjunctivitis, the discharge is thick, tacky, and almost glue like. Eyes that are irritated by dust or inflamed due to allergy tend to be very watery. Swollen Eyelids: Sometimes the eye has a puffy appearance because eyelids are slightly swollen. The inflammation in your cat's eye is not necessarily related to an illness or disease. Many times the inflammation is caused by a foreign body entering the eye. Causes for conjunctivitis in cats can also include:  Allergies: Some cats have allergic conjunctivitis where pollen or other allergens set up an allergic reaction. This causes the eyes to become red and inflamed Irritants: Dust blowing into the eye, shampoo, or accidentally spraying perfume into a cat's eye can cause irritation that leads to inflammation and redness. Foreign Bodies: This might be a grass awn that has become trapped beneath the third eyelid or long hair that falls into the cat's eyes. The rubbing causes irritation that leads to inflammation. Dry Eye: It is rare for cats to suffer from a condition known as keratoconjunctivitis sicca, or dry eye. In this condition the cat doesn't produce sufficient tear fluid to lubricate the eye, which then dries out and becomes red and inflamed. Conjunctivitis refers to inflammation of the eye, which can be a result of many different infections or conditions. It may be an infection in the eye (a primary infection) or appear as a result of a more general infection in your cat's body (a secondary infection). Conditions which may lead to conjunctivitis include:  Bacterial or viral Infection: This can take hold in the eye, just as in any other body tissue. In particular, cats are prone to infection with feline chlamydia, feline herpesvirus, and feline mycoplasma.  General illness: Problems such as an upper respiratory tract infection are often accompanied by conjunctivitis. In this case conjunctivitis is just part of a syndrome including a running nose, sore throat, coughing, and sneezing. Trauma: If a cat has a scratch or injury on its eye, it can cause redness and inflammation as a result. Autoimmune Disease: In rare cases the body's own defense system attacks the lining of the eye as if it is foreign material, leading to conjunctivitis. Eyelid Conformation: Some cats have droopy eyelids. This can expose the inner mucous membrane lining to the drying effect of air, which leads to conjunctivitis. Breeds such as Persians that have flat faces, may also have facial folds which press hair in towards the eye. Conjunctivitis can occur if your cat has another infection that has weakened his immune system. Secondary signs of common feline illnesses that occur in conjunction to conjunctivitis include sneezing, lethargy, or coughing. These could indicate an allergy or an upper respiratory tract infection. Conjunctivitis can occur because of Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV). The symptoms of this disease include enlarged lymph nodes, fever, weight loss, diarrhea, dental disease, poor skin and fur health, as well as respiratory distress. Take your cat to the vet if he has these symptoms in addition to conjunctivitis. Like most diseases, its best to catch conjunctivitis early. This can be achieved most easily by giving your cat regular physical checks. If you do this on a regular basis you will be more able to notice when something is off. While you are playing with or petting the cat, look over her body for physical changes. Take the time to feel her body for abnormalities, look into her eyes to check for clarity, look in her ears for cleanliness, and even inspect her paws for burrs or injuries.
Summary: Keep an eye out for the symptoms of conjunctivitis. Consider common causes of conjunctivitis in a healthy cat. Review your cat's recent health history. Look for the symptoms of underlying illnesses. Regularly check the physical health of your pet.

Problem: Article: Bullies push people around because they think they have the power to do so. They don't. Find people who are supposed to be in charge to help. It is their responsibility to stop bullying, and they should use it. Bullying has become such a serious issue of discussion in recent years that it has become hard to ignore. In the past, adults often dismissed it by suggested that young people always must solve the problem on their own or simply told victims of bullying to ignore the bullies. Increased sensitivity to the issue has made those statements seem out of place. Both the National Institute of Health (a federal agency) and the American Academy of Pediatrics have websites devoted to anti-bullying initiatives, and these are just some indications of the growing awareness of bullying's significance. Some adults may not have gotten the message, but increasing numbers understand that bullying simply cannot be tolerated any longer. It is unfortunate that some adults won't listen, but if those in the area won't listen to you then they should at least listen to your parents. School officials and others who work with young people sometimes do not adequately respect the young people they supervise, but they usually cannot reject the input of parents--the ones who give them authority by placing young people in their care. If they still refuse to deal with the situation, then at least your parents can begin thinking of ways to get you out of that environment. But they can't begin this process unless you talk to them.
Summary: Find people in positions of authority who can help. If the first adult you talk to is not helpful, try another. Talk to your parents.
