Hi again

How do we skip a line in latex and move on to next paragraph?
I tried \\ and \newline command but it gives me bad boxes
I also tried \vspace{30mm} command but it is inconsistent every time I do my homework.
Is ther a better way?

You just need to leave one or more blank lines to define a paragraph break:

Based on some of your questions, I strongly recommend the Not-So-Short Introduction to Latex (your question is answered in section 1.3.1, page 4, for instance):

I'm not understanding why "\\" does not work. Anyways, the normal way to start a new paragraph in tex is an empty line between the paragraphs.

That's just a line break. I don't know if you can use it multiple times to leave white space.
