• Posted Disney in Love to Sections 24 and 25 SP12 PSY 1001
  It is always hard to think where we will be in five years. Many things will change, from medicine to pop-culture. In five years I hope to be married to my fella and raising kids of my own, teaching them...
• Commented on Depression SUCKS
  I'm glad that more people are learning more about the effects of Mental Health Issues. While in high school people would just tell you to be happy so you could suck it up and pretend to be happy but to...
• Commented on Separated at Birth
  This is a very intriguing topic; it is always interesting to perform Nature v. Nurture studies. In the case of Oskar and Jack their general personalities were very similar, which in itself is amazing. However, the way they applied their...
• Commented on Don't Be a Meanie!!!!!!
  Parenting is a very touchy subject for some individuals. Many people don't want to be told how to raise their kids, but in certain situations somebody should step in, like a social worker. Also, even though the authoritative parenting style...
• Commented on Sleep Is Everything
  I have always been told to sleep enough, but like many things in life, I had to learn it the hard way. I believe that this is a lesson many students need to learn on their own instead of just...
• Commented on Three important priciples in building a relationship.
  This topic is always interesting because love is such an interesting idea. I agree, this topic will always be remembered because people will continue looking for soul mates and deeper connections. Very clever planning on snagging a gal!...
• Commented on Birth Order: Does It Really Matter?
  I think that birth order is an interesting study. I believe this is similar to the zodiac signs, where it is a broad category and observers and identify particular situations in which the individual fit the description. However, I find...
• Commented on If You Want to Hang With Us, Smoke This.
  I think this is a brilliant topic to blog about. It is extremely important for youth to know that "belonging and conforming do not have to go hand in hand" because many children, at an early age, are exposed to...
• Commented on Love is Love
  This blog offers a great look at the same-sex marriage topic. In addressing the examples from the Bible, I am in a World of the Bible class and we just spent a week talking about sex, and Leviticus played a...
• Commented on The Fastest Way of Losing Weight?
  Eating disorders are a large problem for teenagers and young adults; however, it isn't just a "girls disease." Men are affected by body images also. I wonder what the statistics for European eating disorders looks like. Knowing that their advertisements,...
• Commented on Is Chocolate a Sign of True Love?
  This is an interesting look at love, and I think for a lot of relationships proximity,similarity, reciprocity, and physical attractiveness help in the beginning. However, this could be a way of determining a best friend, right? I may sound cliche...
• Commented on Lie detectors don't work.....What will?
  I must say, I was surprised to read about the lie detectors also. After watching so many crime/mystery shows and movies it came as a surprise to know that the polygraphs didn't accurately determine when someone is lying. I think...
• Posted Fellas + Eating Disorders to Sections 24 and 25 SP12 PSY 1001
  Many girls choose to be a manager for the football team, baseball team, etc. In high school I chose to be the manager for the wrestling team. I never realized how much some fellas focus on their weight until I...
• Commented on Virtual Aggression
  This topic is interesting because many parents may look at this topic and use it as a reason to not allow their children to play violent games. It is also interesting that you said that violent crimes have been decreasing...
• Commented on Dying to be Beautiful
  This a very interesting, but difficult topic to talk about. As smol0077 said above, telling someone to not be anorexic is like telling someone to not be depressed, it doesn't work like that. You are right, many men deal with...
• Commented on The Apple Doesn't Fall Far From the Tree
  This information seems very helpful for future parents. However, looking at how my parents raised myself and my three siblings these three types of parenting can't be applied to every child. My brother, a troublemaker, clearly needs more of the...
• Commented on Monkey in the Middle
  I also believe that this experiment provided interesting results. I do wonder if a live monkey would change to outcome. There are instances where, tragically, the mother can't produce nourishment to the baby so that could be another experiment to...
• Commented on Eating Disorder Causes a High Death Rate
  It is sad that so many people are affected by eating disorders. A common misconception is that only girls are affected by eating disorders, but this isn't true. Like you, I also have a friend who has suffered from an...
• Commented on Who decides who I love?
  This is a very intriguing topic. The article you included was interesting as well. I especially liked the part about the pupils dilating when interested in another. I thought that it was mentioned in the book that we, as humans,...
• Commented on Out-of-Body Experiences: The Mind-Body Problem
  This is a very fascinating topic to learn about in Psychology. Especially since the "soul" is talked a lot about in different religions. I do have to wonder if maybe this "out-of-body" experience some individuals have is a form of...
• Posted Autism: What are the Chances? to Sections 24 and 25 SP12 PSY 1001
  When thinking about growing up and having children, many of us are afraid of having a child with a disability, like autism. Many people believe that they can't take care of a child with autism; the truth is: it...
• Posted Self-Esteem: High or Low to Sections 24 and 25 SP12 PSY 1001
  Remember hearing those stories in high school about school shootings, like the one that occurred at Columbine High School in Colorado? Along with all those school assemblies with guest speakers and "retreats" that focused on ending bullying? A lot...
