Early Puberty in Girls Raises the Risk of Depression
The New York Times ^ | June 6, 2016 | Perri Klass, MD

Posted on 06/11/2016 3:45:18 PM PDT by heartwood

“What we found was the girls who had earlier breast development had a higher risk of depressive symptoms, or more depressive symptoms,” said Dr. C. Mary Schooling, an epidemiologist who is a professor at the City University of New York School of Public Health, and was the senior author on the study. “We didn’t see the same thing for boys.”

...Earlier onset of breast development in girls was associated with a higher risk of depression in early adolescence even after controlling for many other factors, including socioeconomic status, weight or parents’ marital status...

The biological transition of puberty, of course, occurs in a social and cultural context. One very important effect of developing early, Dr. Mendle said, is that it changes the way that people treat you, from your peers to the adults in your life to strangers. “When kids navigate puberty they start to look different,” she said. “It can be hard for them to maintain friendships with kids who haven’t developed, and we also know that early maturing girls are more likely to be harassed and victimized by other kids in their grade.”

If nobody will move first, then there is no motion.

One can not expect only one side to move. There must be reciprocity for progress.

Good point, that is why Jesus moved first.

Your move! Or lose the benefit of His.

We’re not talking about Jesus and humanity. We’re talking about men and women. What concessions have women made to men?

Doesn’t matter; when God speaks, that’s all that matters.

What is it that God spoke that are you referring to?

Been there, done that. What specifically are you referring to, or are you taking the "Job's Comforters" approach?

Since you mock, I simply say to you: reread the whole thing.

Then get back to me.

The only thing I’m mocking is your presumption and platitudes.

Are you going to answer the question, or concede?

What are Playboy frames? Little rabbit ear Playbo logos sticking up on the corners? Sounds gay to me.

No, I will not concede, on the same principles you are standing so hard and firm on.... those who will not give mercy will not get it.

And... God affairs always trump human ones.

You will not render unto Jesus, you will not see Jesus render anything unto you either.

You will remain damned.

You can thrash around in your cell for as long as you like, but the door handle is on the inside.

Rather, I think pride has more explanatory power for your defacto"concession in perpetuity" advice.

But if you want detail, how about starting with Genesis. Humanity sinned against God. How’s that for an auspicious start. Advantage God.

Would you like to know more?
