Coping is when we find ways to handle hard times and feelings. It helps us stay happy and healthy in our minds. We all have our own ways to deal with tough things that happen. Coping can be good or bad for us. It's best to find good ways to cope so we can feel good and do our best.
People have made many ideas to understand how we cope. They try to sort them into groups, but it's not easy, and everyone doesn't agree. Long ago, experts named Folkman and Lazarus made four types of coping: solving problems, dealing with emotions, asking for help, and finding meaning. Another expert, Weiten, said there are four kinds too: thinking differently, solving problems, handling emotions, and focusing on work. Some others added another type called avoiding.
It's normal to use many ways to cope, and sometimes the ways we cope can change. Using many types can be good. Some people say solving problems can help us feel more in control and make life easier. But in life, we might need different ways to cope at the same time.
Stand-up comedy is when someone tells jokes and funny stories to make people laugh. This person is called a comedian and they talk to people who are watching them. They stand on a stage, usually with just a microphone and a small chair. Their job is to make everyone laugh by telling one-line jokes, funny stories, or doing silly things. Sometimes they use music, magic, or puppets, too. You can see stand-up comedy in many places, like clubs, festivals, or theaters.
A long time ago, there was a type of show in America where actors pretended to be silly and sometimes made fun of people in a mean way. These shows also made jokes about politics and society. This is where stand-up comedy started. Later, other shows like vaudeville and burlesque also had funny performances.
A man named Artemus Ward is thought to be the first stand-up comedian in America. He was an actor who played a funny character who didn't seem very smart but was actually quite clever. This was a long time ago in the 1800s.
The first time someone used the term "stand-up" to talk about this kind of comedy was in 1911. It was about a woman named Nellie Perrier who sang funny songs. A few years later, in 1917, someone else used the term "stand-up comedian" to describe a man named Finlay Dunn who made people laugh by being funny while standing up.
