How to become better when you're sick

 

When you're sick you can rarely go to places, see friends or go to sports games - it's no fun at all. Nobody likes to be sick, so follow these steps to get better quickly. 

Steps 

•  Avoid eating unhealthy foods.

Unhealthy foods can make your even more sick, and they contain virtually no nutrients, so they won't help you get better. Eat healthy foods like fruits and veggies while you're sick, especially fruits that contain vitamin C.

•  Make sure you stay warm.

Make sure you stay warm. Maybe get into your long pajamas or get a soft, cuddly, warm blanket and curl up on the couch or in bed. Drink tea or other hot liquids and eat soup to help keep you warm and soothe your throat.

•  Blow your nose.

Blow your nose. All the yucky stuff normally goes up into your nose, so take a tissue and blow your nose every once in a while to open up your nasal passages again.

•   Take some medicine.

Take some medicine. Medicine can help the body when your sick, so consider taking some medicine to help you get better. If your doctor has perscribed you any specific medication, be sure to take it.

•   Lie down and get some rest.

Lie down and get some rest. You should get about 8-9 hours of rest or more when you're sick, so be sure to get a lot of sleep at night and to take a nap or two during the day, if possible.

•   Get some fresh clean air once in a while.

Get some fresh clean air once in a while. Go outside and sit on your porch for a while on a nice day to get some fresh air; it can do wonders for you. Bring a book with you and read for a bit while you experience the sunshine.

Warnings

• Don't take other people's medicine. It can make you even more sick.
• Read the warnings on the medicine carefully.

How to make money while studying

The school playground, especially in large schools, is a good place for trade. Children routinely exchange all manner of items on the playground. If school rules permit, it might be possible to sell sweets, chocolate, or any kind of product your fellow students might be interested in, and you might have found a way to increase your pocket change.

Steps

1

Choose your products. Consider which are the most popular things in your school? Make a long list of items in a notebook. You may only choose a few this week, but you might decide to expand your business in the coming weeks.

2

Purchase your supplies. You must realize that you have to sell products for more than what you get at shops, to actually make a profit. But this can be hard. The cheapest places are corner shops, or any small shop that not many people go to. Check the place out first, because you don't want to get supplies from a place that is actually popular among students.

3

Set prices for all your products. Consider this very carefully. You must increase the price over retail in order to make a profit, but if you offend your customers, they might not come back even if you drop the price. Likewise, raising prices can offend customers. You might allow them to dicker with you, or you might be firm in your prices. One place to start might be a comparison of retail prices at the grocery store with the prices you see in the vending machines. Somewhere between those two prices should be just right.

4

Have change ready. Go to the bank and get plenty of cents, quarters, dimes and nickels. You don't want to be given a $5 bill, and not have the change.

5

Invite customers. Start with a few, then they'll tell their friends about you. Let your popularity grow slowly.

6Keep your money safe. Get a wallet or a piggy bank to store your profits.

Tips

• If the money you are making is going to charity, ask a teacher about opening your business, it's likely they'll let you borrow a table and set up your own stand, as well as letting you advertise around school. If it isn't, don't let any teachers find out. Ever. Or you'll be in big trouble.
• Remember to have plenty of stock; you don't want to sell-out one day.
• Don't reveal too much about your business to your customers. Don't reveal where you bought your items, how much you paid for them, or how much profit you're making.
• Consider this a serious business. You could learn a lot of things that will come in useful when you set up a real business later in life.
• If your parents own any sweet shop or news stand, ask them to get cheap supplies from a cash-and-carry. This will greatly reduce price, increase popularity, and increase profit.
• Be prepared for competition. If someone sells the same products as you for a cheaper price, lower your prices, but never dip below your cost ever.
• If a rival does get more popular than you, and charges so little that you can't compete, try a new product for awhile, but keep your stock if you can for when he runs out.
• Advertise. But advertise in a way that isn't actually 'advertising', if you understand the metaphor. You don't want any negative attention from rivals.
• Get a partner to help you.
