I'm looking for 2 hair colors

My skin tone is like this:

With dark skin, dark hair is best. Any sort of dark brown, like chocolate or chestnut. Black is an obvious option. Lighter brows may not look so good, and so I would recommend you stick to variations of dark brown.


Hello, I am a 18 year-old female. When I was younger, I had always stuck with the same, long hair style. Well, when I was fourteen, I had this sudden urge to chop off my hair, past my jaw. HUUUGE mistake. It made my chubby, square-shaped face look worse, like a friggin' Cabbage Patch kid. So, ever since that nightmare, I've been trying to grow it out.

The problem is, I've been growing it for four years, and it's been suuuch a slow process! It's still not too far past my shoulders. I think the main problem is that I get a loooot of split ends. I've found strands that have had like, five splits on the same strand, it's crazy. So, every time I have to go get it trimmed, they have to trim it so high that it's like it never grew at all.

I'll tell you about my hair. I'm a brunette, I've never dyed it. It's naturally very curly, and can get pretty frizzy (I use lots of mousse and the like to ATTEMPT in fighting this). Every single time I get my hair trimmed, hair dressers always tell me that I have a crap-ton of hair. Although I have a lot, I'm told the strands are actually thin. I've tested my hair, and it is strong, it does break when I pull on a strand. It is oily.

I've looked up how to grow hair, and often they say to not wash your hair every day. Well, my hair being oily, it quickly gets greasy. And I do have bangs, so if I skip a single day of washing, it looks pretty gross. I call it "Bacon bangs", when they get that greasy. I can separately wash my bangs to prevent this, but my head can also get itchy, and get these uncomfortable red itchy bumps on it. So skipping washing is pretty impossible. I don't know what hair products to use. I get split ends a lot, and pretty quickly. It's also very frizzy.

I'm going off to college in the fall, and I'm working on transforming myself, including losing weight, improving the way I dress and present myself, and in addition, I've always dreamed of having long, healthy soft and shiny hair. So if anyone could please help me out and advise me in what to buy and what to do, that would help me out greatly. Thank yoooouu~ (link)
Hello,

Well there are a few things you can do to help hair grow faster:

1. Eat plenty of protein, as hair is made of protein. This is egg whites, chicken, turkey, fish, lamb, etc.

2. You can take supplements for stronger hair + nails. These are little pills you can buy from a health food store. I've never tried them however.

3. Palmers make a "hair growth formula". It smells like coconut, and makes your hair greasy. I used to use this when I cut my hair and hated it. It works, but it's not drastic. You could put this in on days off, leave it for a few hours, and wash it out.

4. When you go to the hairdressers, ask if they have any treatments available for dry, brittle hair. I did it once, and my hair was AMAZINGLY soft. This was after 2 years of straightening and
dry every single day, with split ends everywhere.

5. Try not to wash your hair. If your hair is greasy, you can use a dry shampoo. It's a white powder, and you only use a little. Massage it through your hair, and leave it in. Then style as usual. The powder absorbs the grease. You then brush the powder out, and it's like you just washed it. You can buy this in cosmetics stores/online. It's also called 'leave in shampoo'

6. Massage your scalp with your finger tips. This helps increase blood flow, which helps hair growth.

7. Some people find that using coconut oil in their hair helps healthy hair. You obviously have to leave this in, and then wash it out. Personally, I hate the smell. But it's worth a shot, because it's not expensive.

8. You can try 'hot oil' treatments. It's an oil that is full of good stuff for strong hair. You warm the bottle in hot water, and then massage in. Of course, you leave this in, and wash it out.


Good luck, and I hope I helped! :)


I have made a resume but I am not sure if it's a bad, good, or great resume.

I have a header with my name, phone number, address, and date of birth.
I have an objective which is one sentence.
I have skills which I listed 12 skills in a chart and I deleted the borders and centered everything.
I have my education.
I have my experience which I listed my last 3 jobs starting with my most current.
I have my volunteer experience which I listed the types of mission work I did with my church over the years.
Lastly, I have 'References available upon request'
Everything looks very organized.

What else should I put into my resume?
Any tips on making a resume great?
Do I need to omit any information?

Thanks!
(link)
You shouldn't put your date of birth on, because people can discriminate against you because of your age. Of course, it is pretty obvious when people read when you were at school, but putting it in your header makes them see it first, and whatever else they see they will disregard.

There are thousands of websites regarding how to make the perfect resume. Most give you free templates. It's best to just search for "resume template" and check a few out to help you.

Good luck :)


I Want To Know How To Read People Better. I Want Tips Or Techniques That People Use. I Want To Know What People Are Thinking By Looking At Their Face And Their Body Language. Any Help Is Appreciated! (link)
You can just google this. There have been many hours of study to see what peoples body language shows us. But it is impossible for someone to put everything in an answer for you. If you're really interested, you may benefit from studying psychology or the sort. But here's a link to get you started:

Hi, I'm a 23 year old female and I'm hoping for some advice from people who have experience on this -- the internet can have some very contradictory information when it comes to fitness.

I've recently lost a good amount of weight (down from 180 lb to 150 lb) and I think I'd like to lose about 15 lb more to hit my goal. But I'm not looking to be "skinny fat" -- eventually I think I'd like to try out fitness modelling.

My workouts consist of biking, kayaking, hiking, lifting weights/bodyweight exercises, doing CrossFit about 2x/week, and occasionally going for a Bikram yoga class.

My problem is that I don't really have a good structure to these things; I like exercising but I sort of just do whatever I feel like in the moment, and don't focus too much on specific goals. How should I organize/focus my workouts throughout the week to achieve my goals of losing the last 15 lbs while gaining muscle and strength? How much rest is necessary and when would be the optimum time to place it?

Oh, also, I've got my diet under control - I eat meats and fish, vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds, with some dairy and no grains or legumes.

Thanks to anyone who can help me out with this! (link)
Well done on the existing weight loss! You seem to have come so far, so hopefully I'll be able to help you further.

First i'll get to diet, as it's short, simple, and easy. You want to have a pack of card sized portion of protein on your plate. Half of your plate should be fruit/vegetables. Grains can actually be good: wholegrain of course. Brown rice, a little wholewheat pasta, maybe a wholewheat role. This can help with fibre, and so isn't all bad. Nuts + seeds are good, but be sure they are not roasted. Also, don't eat too many, as they contain a lot of fat (albeit good fat).

In regards to exercise, you should focus on one body part a day. So legs on monday, abs on tuesday, rest wednesday, etc etc etc.

You also want to be sure not to exercise too much, simply because doing this is ineffective. After about 45ish minutes of exercise, you reach a plateau, and anything done after this will not make a difference. Because of this, if you must exercise twice a day, then do it in chunks, i.e. 2 45min slots, one in the morning, and one in the evening.

Also, eat after exercising, as your body will use the protein and so on, more effectively. They say you should eat about 30-45mins after working out.

Finally, you want to keep on pushing yourself. If you run at the same speed, for the same amount of time every day, your body will get used to it and you will not see results. You can start running faster, and for longer to keep your body challenged. One good way of doing this is interval training. E.g. run at 90% speed for 10 seconds, and then jog at %50-60 speed for 20 seconds. Do this for 30minutes, and you will have done one of the best and most effective exercises possible. This method is great, and it keeps challenging your body and pretty much melts the fat away. It's a lot harder than it sounds though.

I said finally, but just a couple more things: be sure not to focus just on cardio. You lift weights which is excellent. Focusing just on cardio can make you flabby, but weights can help to tone you.

Also, drink plenty of water, as it will help to flush our toxins and speed up fat loss.

Be sure not to lose confidence after the initial weight loss. When people start exercising, they lose loads of weight at first, because their bodies are not used to this new level of intensity. After that, as their body gets accustomed to it, they lose less, and it is not as noticeable. People often quit at this point, but it's perfectly normal, and you should really try to challenge yourself.


That's all that comes to mind right now, so I hope I helped! Inbox me if you have any questions.

Good luck! :)


i am a girl,17.. i think i am addicted to watching porn. I watch porn daily for 5 min. is it bad to watch it? bcoz i feel so, but also i am not able to stop it. I want to stop doing it, pls give me some advice. i am an indian. (link)
You are not addicted. An addiction is when it takes over your life. When you can not do anything except think about your addiction, or how you will fuel it.

5 minutes a day is not an addiction. There is nothing wrong with porn, if you enjoy it.

Carry on. But if you must stop, your only option is to go cold turkey. Just stop watching porn, or switch on parental controls if you must.

If it starts to take over your life, then you may wish to seek professional advice.


I'm smart but lazy.
Dark... As in my mind..
I could be seen as a negative person, but I don't try to crush people's dreams.
I'm nice...but evil..
I don't care at all what people think about me.
I don't try and follow the trend or blend in, but I don't try to stick out.
My favourite song is Therapy by All Time Low...
you don't have to include that but they say that music says a lot about a person so... Other than that I don't really listen to music apart from Pierce the Veil BUT I love listening to theme tunes for films especially for Pirates of the Caribbean, I listen to that while doing homework...
Umm my favourite colours are black and deep purple...and other deep colours :)
I'm not like suicidal or anything, just in case you're getting that impression...
Um... Yeah.
I'm a girl. I'm girly I guess, but not like, frilly pink dressed kind of girly.
I'm kind of reserved...and I'm awkward around people..and I get irritated very easily...
Yeah. Thank you :)) (link)
I don't really know what your question is?

You want *us* to create or think of a *PERSONAL* symbol for *you* ?

1. A personal symbol is supposed to be personal. Something that means something to you. Something that usually only you know about.
2. What do you mean by a symbol?
3. For the record, nicknames are personal. You don't give yourself a nickname. A nickname is something that is given to you, because of a certain trait, quality, inside joke, or something you've done etc.


Is it me or was mila kunis dress on conan on 6/25/12 a little see through? Thought I saw her wearing white panties of maybe they were shorts? Let me know (link)
Are you talking where she sit's cross legged and you can see some sort of pale beige fabric on her thigh?

I think that may just be the lining of the dress. Because it is see-through, but to ensure that you can't actually see everything, the designer probably put a skin-coloured lining under it so that it appears see-though, but is not.

Hope I helped :)


Sex within family members (link)
This is not a question.


Hey well this is kinda awkward but here is goes
Well my vagina has a thingy that hangs out of it not heaps but it is noticeable to me and there is no way of getting rid of it. I'm 15 and I'm getting into that stage of letting boys touch down there but I'm kinda of embarrassed about it I'm worried they will be like eww gross!!

Help pleeeeeaaaaaassssseeeee :( (link)
This is the labia. It's just skin that looks like flaps on the vagina. Every Vagina is a different size, shape, colour.

This is perfectly normal.


Many times people assume and accuse me of doing something when really it was someone else. They rant on and on how the clues add up to me. This happens several times to me and with different people. Am I an easy target? Why am I the guilty one? Why do people say they know I did it when I'm innocent? Saying I didn't do it doesn't change what they 'know'. I'm taken aback by these assumptions. Why do people punish another based on nothing but bad calculations? Why is it always me? How can I change that? (link)
You're being very cryptic with your question: you're not giving much detail away, so forgive me if my answer is too short/does not go into the issue in depth.

It could be that they see you as an easy target because you take the straight and narrow. They may see this behaviour as a sign of guilt, or they just want to blame someone and you seem like an easy option.

We assume, because as human beings, we always want answers. We do not like uncertainty. Assumption is the best way to pin it on someone, even if we do not know if it was that person.

The best option is to defend your corner. Stand up for yourself (without being aggressive or angry, just assertive) and explain that you did not do it. If that fails, it's best to just ignore it.


Hope I helped :)


Im 19 and my boyfriend is turning 20 soon.. And He's been treating me like SHIT..,:( what kind of boyfriend would lock a girl up in his car without air? He didnt even bother to open the window who would do that?!! He never heared any complains about how he treats me. I tried to confront him but he never listen he only thinks what he feel.:(( the most painful part is he told me he never care what i feel., and he doesnt need me.,:( it hurts me so bad :,( i told him if am i ugly or not pretty enough? I did mu best to e his best gf :,( i never talked looked at other guys., i never told him
How im in pain right now :,(( (link)
Your option is to break up with him. It may be painful in the short-term, because you may love him. But there is someone better for you: someone who will love you and treat you with respect.

You have already tried to speak to him about it, and so there is obviously no reasoning with him.

You do not deserve to be in an abusive relationship. Although the prospect of breaking up with him may seem difficult, it's the best option for you in the long term. Would you rather be in a relationship with someone who does not love or respect you, or would you rather leave and find someone who appreciates you?

If he is abusive, be sure to call the local authorities. He may do the same (or worse) to someone else, and that would be painful, as you could have nipped his behaviour in the bud.

In short: Break up with him, please.


I'm 19 years old, and I feel as though I'm treated like such a child.

I live with my Dad, and I usually stay at home all day unless it's to go to the YMCA or work but other than that, I can't really go anywhere!

It's summer now, and I'm not in school. I want to wake up in the morning, and take a walk by the lake, and in the park. My father doesn't want me going.

I've gotten into a fight with him over simple things like taking a walk around the block, or going for a run. He gets so suspicious and thinks I'm up to no good.

I'm not a house hermit, and I hate staying inside. I've always been outdoorsy since I was a kid. I love going out, I love adventure, I love exploring.

I want to be able to go outside, take walks, walk in a travel, go take a train to downtown Toronto, or go to those meet up events from those websites.

My Dad won't let me, and he even insists on driving me EVERYWHERE including to the YMCA which is 15 minute walk from my house. I appreciate that he drives me around, but I need my independence and I need my space.

I want my life and I want to live it in a way that makes me happy. I feel like a bird trapped in a cage, quite honestly.

(link)
Have you spoken to your dad about it? It's honestly the only way to solve it.

Have you done anything before that he may have seen as breaking his trust? This may be the reason. If not, it may just be him being over-protective because he cares about you.

You do need to realize that he is doing what he is doing because he thinks it's in your best interest. He just wants you to be safe.

But you do have to talk to him about it. It may seem awkward, but its either that or you live with it.

Calmly ask if you can speak to him, and ask why he is so over protective. Don't be angry, upset, or defensive. Speak to him about his worries, and explain that you are an adult, and that you want to have your own space and time to do things that you enjoy. Just explain how you feel.

That's all you can do, and so forgive my advice being short.

Good luck :)


I have two step-brothers that choose not to be a part in my life. They are both about ten years older than me. I was adopted into their family. Before that, I was in a foster home and before that, I was living with my family as an abuse victim. They both were grown and out on their own when I was adopted. All those years with that family, they never tried to get to know me. One of their wives, several times, made slight accusations that I was into drugs when I was around 12 and 13. She shared her worries with my parents and I found out through my parents, like always, what was said. I was a good-girl and it upset me that she said those things and I believe it was because my background before she knew me. She also told my parents that she didn't want me around her son, who was my age, because she didn't want him to pick up my behaviors. I was a little on the quiet side but other than that, I don't understand what that meant. My step-brothers were rich and went to top-notch schools, so maybe that's why they and their wives are a little on the snooty side? When I got a little older, it became a habit to argue with my parents and I guess that didn't look too good to them. Once when I was 14, I taunted my grandpa because I was upset. He said, "I'm going spank your butt." I said to him, "Why don't you get up and chase me old man. Then I said, "I wish you were dead." He was 90-something years old. Next day I came home from school and found the police at my house. They filed a report on me for harassing my grandpa for future notice. After the police left, my step-brother came to the house and 'knew' why they were there. I was told he assumed as much from me, though I never taunted my grandpa like that before nor before gave him a death wish. He passed away a couple years later. My step-brother never forgave me for that even though I don't understand why it was so big to him. I don't even know his intake of the event because like I said before, everything that went on was spoken privately between them and my parents. Years after that, my other step-brother became on bad terms with me. After I moved out from home, my parents changed the locks on the doors. One time I broke in with my boyfriend when my parents were gone. I went through the doggie-door. I had no where else I could stay that night. My neighbors tattled me out to my parents. My parents had my step-brother go in to make sure nothing was stolen. My mom said to me on the phone, "You should have called ahead of time!" I didn't because I knew she would say no. She was worried that I might have stolen her identity or something and she shared her concerns with my step-brother. That made no sense to me! I never done anything that even hinted I would do something that low! I really didn't understand but since that incident, that brother became on bad terms with me. So then both brothers were on bad terms with me. I don't see them a lot. Mostly only on special occasions. They don't call. They didn't call me. They made all these judgments about me my whole life with that family. All from the sidelines! I rarely knew what I did that upset them unless I asked my parents. My parents gossiped to them about me without my knowledge or permission. If I asked about their personal problems, my reply would be that's none of your business! My parents have always been strict and they always nagged me. They never offered empathy or support. They try to be great Christians and always seem to act self-righteous. My step-brothers never understood me. Now they are just about completely out of my life but that's not what I want. I, for some odd reason, love them. I don't understand how to have a relationship with them. I know an apology isn't going to change the pain they feel when they see me. They act like I betrayed them. Can I change anything or are they too hard-headed for understanding? (link)
Hello. Here's my take:

1. Arguing with your parents is never good. Everyone does it though, especially at that age. But for other people to see it, it looks bad. And if you have children, would you want them socializing with someone who argues with their parents? Especially if your child has never argued with you. It's easy to understand as people think that behaviour can be picked up, and it can.

2. Your grandfather situation: You told your 90 year old grandfather that you wished he was dead. You say that you can not really see why or how this would upset people. But it's blindingly obvious. Someone who is 90 years old is virtually on their last years. People start to plan for things, because they know that the end is near. You constantly have to live in the fear that one day, the person will die, and it could be today, or tomorrow. Saying that to a healthy 25 year old is different to saying it to a 90 year old. This is extremely sensitive, and so it's obvious why it is something that will offend people, especially as he was your brothers' grandfather.

3. In regards to you breaking in: you *broke* in to your parents house. That is illegal if you have moved out. If your boyfriend didn't stop you, and then you both did that, you must understand how bad this must seem to your brothers' and parents. The mature thing would be to call them, and explain that you have nowhere to go, and to ask nicely if you can stay. If not, ask if they have any ideas where you can go. But if you were willing to break into their home, they were understandably concerned about what else you would do.


So in regards to your brothers, you can understand why they may be upset with you: You argue with their mother (which upsets them all, especially if they were not the type to argue with their parents), you wished their grandfather (aged 90, and on his last days) dead, you disrespected him by taunting him, and you broke into the family home.

Your mother obviously will tell other people about your behavior. She does not need your permission to talk about you. She will do this for support, advice, or general help with what to do.

There may also be others aspects, e.g. they may be jealous because you are now getting attention from their parents, or because you are not a blood relative. But don't try to use this to blame them. You did a lot which clearly offended them.

Now though, you must understand why they were upset with you. If you did something wrong, take responsibility for it, and don't try to pass the buck. Only then, can you make amends.



SOLUTION: Call your brothers. Explain how you feel: that you didn't really get to know each other before. Explain that you did some stupid things, but that you've matured, and that you would like to have a relationship with them, because you love them, regardless of the fact that you are not blood relatives. Suggest meeting to catch up. Either give them a call or talk to them at the next family event. If they're not interested, you could write a letter to them explaining how you feel. This is more personal, and the chances are that they will read it. If they don't change their mind, then you have done everything that you can do. You just have to let time heal it, and hope that one day, they will be able to forgive you.


In short: understand why they are upset. Speak to them to solve it. If it fails, let time heal.


Good luck.


I fell in love with this boy, I told him and sadly he didn't feel the same. Well I thought he did, the way he used to treat me, the words he used to call me and how much he made me feel special. He said he didn't feel the same. Should I give up, or hold on? He may think I'm a pest if I carry on texting him, I love him with all my heart and it hurts, it really hurts. What should I really do? (link)
Well, unfortunately, if he doesn't feel the same, it is best to just let go, as you can not change his mind.

It may be hard, but your best option is to move on: text him now and again saying "hi, how are you?" if you really must, say hello to him, but it's best you simply forget him in a romantic way and find someone else, or enjoy being single.

Short, but to the point.

Good luck.


Oh boy. I recently discovered something about mastrabation. I usually do it everyday. But if I stop for a few days then do it, it feels a lot better and lasts longer. Then theres this burn at the tip that makes the sensation like 100x better. Why so? It's very weird I know. Is semen like acidic? Or does it change the longer it stays in? (link)
The longer you wait, it's almost like pressure building, until you either masturbate, or, the fluid will be released in a 'wet dream'.

So the better sensation after not masturbating is normal.

Semen contains salt, which may be responsible for the feeling. If it burns, it may be an infection: get it checked out, or there may be a cut or tear (also worth checking out with a doctor).


Okay, I'm going to sound like a close minded douche. But is it normal to be annoyed by certain types of music and styles? In particular, mainstream screaming/death metal or whatever. I know it is music but I just get so annoyed 'cause like the people I know who listen to that type of music, most listen to and dress in that style like in a wanting to fit in way. Like oh, I'm cool because of this, or they WANT to be considered weird by others. Like an attention thing? Or having the huge headphones that everyone on a bus can hear the screaming, and not even the listener can make out the lyrics. I don't know. Maybe it's just a pet peeve or whatever they call it. Other things too. Other things too, I love rap but I get sooo annoyed when I hear all this "Swagg" And "In the club" "Shoes and money" crap actually being considered rap. All that commercial, monotonous, negative stuff makes like a whole stereo type of the genre. I go onto iTunes and look under Hip Hop/Rap and it's all the same artists you hear on the radio. Most of it sounds pop-ish and too plasticy, I really think iTunes should label it under a whole new genre. Those are NOT rappers. They are business men. I understand it's technically music, this new-rap, but c'mon. Do you really think they all want to sound the same? No, most do it for the money. Real rap should be more than just business. Heck, all music should be more than just entertainment. But what I see in certain sections/artists is nothing but an money making entertainment business. Also, my favorite band released an album in 2011. The instrumentation and lyrics were great, 5 stars in my book, but the only thing I disliked was that it seemed too polished and a bit plastic-like. I've noticed this with other recent releases as well. I don't know. What is this about? (link)
Well, in short, music is a business. Mainstream music that is. When an artist signs with a label, the label makes them make money. That is what they are there for. In return for you making them money, they promote you.

It's a shame that often, music is like that. But it's just the way it is. If a certain type of music does not sell, the artist has to change: because they need to make a living.

If you wish to make music because you enjoy it, and want it to be pure, then you have to do it as a hobby, not a career.

That is really all I have to add to this :)


What are some signs my husband could be cheating with another man ? I am 42,my husband is 37. (link)
There are no signs. You could of course, snoop around. This however, is disrespectful and wrong.

Your only option is to ask him out right. The fundamental concept of a relationship is trust. If there is no trust, the relationship will never last.

Ask him if he is being unfaithful. If he denies it, then you either have to accept that you were wrong, or (if you think he is lying), you must leave him or get some sort of marriage Councilling for you both. Even if he denies it, and you still don't believe him, then the trust issue goes back into it.

So in short: speak to him.


ok so I'm a 12 year old girl and I met this guy on facebook he said he's 13 and we never met but ya he started like talking to me sexualy but then he said he's 15 and I didn't mind and he got my number and asked for naked pix and I sent them well after a while he said he's 18 and stil I didn't mind and he started sending me pix and stuff and he said he's 20 then 25 and now he wants to meet up but I'm scared he's older and say now he's like a really old perve and rapes me ! Flip I'm scared must I go and trust his age? How do I know how old he really is? (link)
How did 18 not bother you? And why did you send pictures to him, even when you knew he lied?

Now, you must not meet this fellow. Even if he is 25, this will make him a pedophile and a sex offender. You are very right: he may well probably rape you.

You must stop speaking to him as soon as possible. You must also tell your parents as soon as possible. Tell them to tell the police. You may not want to, but what if he actually meets an underage girl one day? And rapes her? What if she dies? You must tell the police to ensure they lock him up.

This is the only option. Of course, delete him from facebook. But more importantly, tell you parents! Don't be embarrassed, or ashamed. The slight embarrassment will be outweighed by possibly saving someone else.

Good luck! Let me know what you do!




I am a high school teacher & I'm teaching summer school this year. there is a student that I've known for a couple of years & I've taught her in the 8th grade also.

She has a crush on me, and it's pretty obvious. She blushes & smiles when I talk to her.

She told her friends who told another friend and so on, now loads of students know. She always finds some way to draw attention to herself, so I have to pay attention to her loads.

She is a good student & she's smart, but she tries to flirt with me, I don't flirt. I don't think she's trying to do anything inappropriate, but she's just always trying to get my attention. I'm nice to her and I treat her like everyone else.. I look at most of my students like they are my own kids and I see her as a daughter.

It's frustrating, is there anything I can do? I don't want to be mean to her or hurt her feelings. I did on accident once and I felt bad. Any ideas? (link)
Just carry on how you are. Treat her like everyone else, and do what you are there for: to provide the children with an education.

If she has a crush on you, then it's her problem. If all the students know, you should carry on as you would if they didn't.

If it becomes uncontrollable, then you have to speak to either the school Councillor, or your superior.

You need to protect yourself, in case she does something inappropriate.

Good luck
