Psssst!

IS GIRL TALK BAD FOR YOU?

The New York Times reports: "Dwelling and rehashing issues can keep girls, who are more prone to depression and anxiety than boys, stuck in negative thinking patterns, psychologists say. What's especially negative for young girls is the related mental hazard of "'emotion contagion' or 'contagious anxiety,' in which one person's negative thoughts or anxiety can affect another's mood, sometimes over a long period."



Do you think young girls tend to justify their bad feelings or offer one another constructive advice?

How do guys normally discuss their problems?

Do you think guys and girls communicate with each other more often now with instant messaging and Facebook/Myspace?
