One way to make amends is to simply ask how you can make it better. Of course, you can't fix a grievous mistake and completely reverse it; however, you may be able to do something to make it better, and the best way to figure out what is to defer to your friend. For instance, you could say, "I know I can't take back what I did, but is there any way I can make it up to you?" If your friend doesn't have a suggestion, you can offer your own solution. That solution can be a grand gesture to show you care, or it can be you making sure you show up in the ways you need for your friend. For example, maybe you could send your friend flowers or a graduation gift if you missed her graduation. One way you can make amends is to talk about how you can do things differently in the future. That way, your friend can feel reassured that the same situation won't occur again, and he will be more likely to accept your apology. For example, you could say, "The next time we go out together, we can talk about what to do ahead of time. That way, I won't disappoint you by leaving you alone for too long."

summary: Ask what you can do to make it up to your friend. Offer a solution. Make a plan for the future.

Remember, if you suspect someone is experiencing shock, it is best to seek medical help as soon as possible. Don't wait for symptoms to get more severe, as shock symptoms can progress rapidly. If the person is not showing signs of life (ie: no breathing, no carotid pulse), start CPR. An untrained person should only attempt chest compressions, not rescue breathing. Ask the 911 operator to talk you through the process if you don't already know how. You might find this wikiHow article on how to perform CPR helpful. Depending on your location, it might be some time before emergency services are available to help. Taking the following steps will help stabilize the person experiencing shock if her condition appears to deteriorate and it is taking time for medical help to arrive.   Offer first aid for visible wounds and injuries. Make the person comfortable. Provide her with a blanket and loosen restrictive clothing.  Keep her from eating or drinking. Since the person may be unable to swallow, it's best to avoid giving her anything to eat or drink to reduce the risk of choking.  Turn her onto her side if she vomits or begins bleeding from the mouth. This will help prevent choking. Proceed with caution if you think the person might have a spinal injury. If a person with a possible spinal injury is choking, try to keep her head, neck, and back in line while rolling both the body and head together. Only attempt this if the person does not have an injury to the head, neck, leg, or spine. This position helps improve blood flow to vital organs.  Lay him on his back and elevate his legs above the heart (about 8 – 12 inches). Do not elevate his head or place a pillow under his head. If you think this position might cause the person any pain, it's best to leave him lying flat and wait for emergency help to arrive. Even if the person seems to be breathing normally, continue to monitor her condition until help arrives. You can provide this information to emergency services when they arrive. You can help reassure and comfort the individual who might be experiencing shock. In addition, you can also monitor the person's condition until help arrives and provide valuable information to the paramedics.

summary: Call 911 or local emergency services immediately. Begin CPR if necessary. Provide treatment. Place the person in the shock position. Monitor the person's breathing. Stay with the injured person until emergency services arrive.

Other people will want a chance to sing, so sit back and appreciate their performances instead of being rude. Listen to the performances and clap when one ends. Don’t crowd around the DJ asking for your turn and don’t interrupt someone else’s performance. Be kind to the DJ and their equipment. Often running karaoke is work for them and they deal with many people who may be drunk, rude, or requesting the same song. When you request a song, give them a little bit of money. For special requests, such as bringing all your friends on stage to sing one song, give them an extra tip. If you need to politely ask the DJ a question, do it during a performance. When there’s no singing, the DJ is usually busy setting up for the next song. So it’s your turn at last. Now you have to go on stage with all the eyes in the room upon you. Breathe in. Breathe deeply and try to take in more air as you perform. This will help you relax and sing louder. Get into your performance. Don’t be afraid to move around and project your voice. Have fun and you’ll find that your performance benefits too. Karaoke isn’t about having the best voice in the room. Stay present and stay excited at being the focus of the attention for a few minutes. When your turn is done, go back to your seat. Don’t try to perform another song. Also, move away from the stage. Crowding other performers, dancing in front of the stage, or jeering is bad etiquette.
summary: Wait patiently. Respect the DJ. Sing with confidence. Sit down when your song ends.
