Is Net Browsing Causing Depression in Teens?
There's a new study put out by the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine that says: "teenagers who spent a lot of time browsing the net were about two and a half times more likely to show depressive symptoms." While I think that it is definitely something to take a look at and inform parents about, it reminds me of a conversation I had when I was pregnant with my second daughter. She was breech and we got to talking about the different studies that were put out about beech birth and he told me about one that he thought was very funny. It seems for years the medical establishment felt that giving birth while the baby was breech lead to the babies having dyslexia. After a decade or two, they realized it was the other way around. That because the babies were dyslexic, they became breech. So I have to wonder, maybe the teens who are prone to being depressive are the ones who want to spend a lot of time on the internet. What do you think? Please give your opinion, experiences or advice in the comments area. Related Resources:
