  • It documents the elevated risk across a wide range of mental health outcomes and over a long period of time
  • The experience of bullying in childhood can have profound effects on mental health in adulthood, particularly among youths involved in bullying as both a perpetuator and a victim
  • Victims were at greater risk for anxiety disorders, while bullies were at increased risk for antisocial personality disorder.

    Citation: Louis, Catherine Saint. "Effects of Bullying Last into Adulthood, Study Finds." The New York Times. New York Times, 20 Feb. 2013. Web. 24 Feb. 2013. . Summary: Both bullies and victim of bullies at a young age experience psychiatric problem when they're adults. Researchers followed 1420 subjects who were assessed 4-6 times between the age of 9 and 16. They categorized them as bullies, victims, bullies who were also victims, and children who weren't bullied at all based on the children themselves and the caregivers. Later, at the age of 19, 21 and between 24-26, they tested them again. Researchers then found that victims of bullying were 4.3 times more likely to have anxiety disorder at adulthood, and bullies who were also victims were 14.5 times more likely to develop panic disorders and 4.8 times more likely to experience depression as adults. Men who were both bullied and victims also were 18.5 times to have suicidal thoughts in adulthood. Bullies who were not victims were 4.1 times more likely to have an antisocial personality disorder as adults. Female bullies were 26.7 times more likely to have developed agoraphobia (anxiety). These were all being compared to the people who weren't the bullies nor the victims. Victims could have anxiety disorders, bullies who were victims can have panic disorders/depression/suicidal thoughts, and bullies could be antisocial when they are adults.

    I found that this article informative that what may happen in schools will have a long time effect to the student's life. I know that bullying will have a psychological and emotional effect at school, but I have never thought it would last when the bully or the perpetrator reach adulthood. Knowing how the effects are long-lasting, I feel this should be a warning to bullies and victims to not get involved with any type of bullying, or else it will leave a bad psychological scar in your memory. Hopefully I will never see an incident of bullying during the time at school.

Coca-Cola Addiction Contributed to Mother's Death - Telegraph - 0 views

  • The first thing she would do in the morning was have a drink of Coke, and the last thing she would do in the day was have a drink of Coke by her bed
  • It is more likely than not that the drinking of very large quantities of Coke was a substantial factor that contributed to the development of the metabolic imbalances, which gave rise to arrhythmia.
  • Ms Harris's teeth had been pulled out because they became rotten, and that at least one of her children was born having no tooth enamel.

    Citation: Chapman, Paul. "Coca-Cola Addiction Contributed to Mother's Death." Telegraph.co.uk. The Telegraph, 12 Feb. 2013. Web. 13 Feb. 2013. . Summary: Thirty year old mother Natasha Harris drank up to 10 liters of Coca Cola a day, more than twice the 400mg safe limit of caffeine.  This is what is reported to be a possible reason for her death.  Coroner David Crerar found out she died of cardiac arrhythmia due to caffein and poor nutrition.  It was reported she smoked 30 cigarettes a day, ate a little, and would drink Coke in the morning and before she went to bed.  Her teeth were pulled out due to decay, One of her children was born having no tooth enamel because of her Coke addiction.  Coroners recommended Coca Cola to put caffeine content on the labels and warnings for excessive consumption.  Coca Cola became disappointed about the information, but are uncertain her death was caused by her Coke consumption or her unhealthy lifestyle.

    It seemed very bizarre how someone could be addicted to Coca Cola, drinking more than what I usually drink everyday. I consider this as substance abuse, because she was damaging her health by taking too much caffeine. Surprisingly, the death was believed to be caused by her Coca Cola addiction, and most substance abuse death involve tobacco, drugs, and alcohol. People should know more about what they consume before it may kill them.
