Social Science - 8 December 2006

I noticed, read, and heard, that the girls in the Olympics, (especially gymnastics) are underdeveloped. In fact, girls who are overly athletic postpone their period. Why does this happen? Why is this still allowed in the olympics, and all over the world, if there are negative side affects? Last, but not least, why isn't this taught in Sex Education? Isn't this important information?

I'm married and I love my wife dearly, but she is constantly criticizing herself. She complains about her looks, weight, intelligence, etc. She has always accused me of wanting other women and comparing herself to others including her own sisters. I rebuttle her complaints with compliments and do my best to show her that she's the most important aspect of my life, but it doesn't seem as if she knows how to be positive. Is it possible to change someone's outlook and help them become more positive?

I read an article recently that psychology is not really science and all its claims aren't true. I forget what journal. Is that true? I've always thought that Psychology is for stupid people.

There are a few in my school and a few around where I live that complain, I just can't see why. They complain about the education or curriculum taught in history classes. They complain by saying that why do they only learn about black history during the month of February but the rest of the year they learn about White History. The thing is that white or black both are American History, and I've been taught about the underground railroad, Martin Luther King Jr., Malcom X and other things through out the year, in the month of February we take trips to Black History Museums. Also, "White" History, look at the founding fathers of the good ol' US of A, they were white, if it bothers anyone to learn about them, then you have a choice, not learn and fail or learn and pass. They aren't making you, you choose what you take in or not, simple as that. Right?

Kids are addicted to the Internet and video games at a very early age. Since they are little they do not know that addictions are harmful to mental health, as the person loses willpower. Parents seem unable to control them, and sometimes don’t want to, since they think “the kid is entertain.” What can we do as a society to help with this issue?
