Psychologists, not to mention parents, have long observed that kids who seem depressed tend to have trouble getting along with-and being accepted by-their peers. What the experts haven't been able to agree on is which comes first, the depression or the social difficulty. Most researchers have supposed that kids who are excluded or bullied become depressed as a result (rather than vice versa), while others have suggested that the two problems go hand in hand and are all but impossible to tease apart. A new study, published this week in the journal Child Development, provides some of the strongest evidence to date for a third theory: Kids who cry easily, express negative emotions, and show other signs of depression ultimately suffer socially because they are shunned by their peers and attract the attention of bullies. "Bullies target youth who are unlikely to fight back," says lead author Karen P. Kochel, PhD, an assistant research professor at Arizona State Universit...

One-in-a-million medical condition led to her being born with TWO fully-formed vaginas. Hazel Jones, 27, said it means she has lost her virginity TWICE. But she added she was so at ease with her body that she goes to sex clubs with her husband. First, Hazel told ITV1's This Morning hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield she was 18 before being diagnosed with uterus didelphys. It occurs when a barrier between two tubes that form the uterus fails to break down during development, leaving two internal channels. Hazel, of High Wycombe, Bucks, did not realise she was different until her periods started at 14. She said: "I told friends. They looked even more confused than me." She went to hospital four years later to learn the truth. She added: "I thought it was amazing." Hazel told The Sun last night she and hubby Riki visited fetish clubs, explaining: "It shows how relaxed I am. "My quirky condition does not make me shy or hold me back. In fact, it...

Certain vaccines may not work as well in children who have been exposed to high levels of perfluorinated compounds (PFCs), a family of chemicals used to make everything from microwave popcorn bags and pizza boxes to carpets and nonstick cookware, new research suggests. In a study published this week in the Journal of the American Medical Association, researchers found that the higher the level of PFCs in a child's blood, the fewer antibodies the child produced after receiving vaccines for diphtheria and tetanus. In addition, kids with higher PFC exposure were more likely than their peers to have antibody levels too low to provide protection against those infectious diseases. "The immune system is more sluggish when these kids are vaccinated," says lead author Philippe Grandjean, MD, an adjunct professor of environmental health at the Harvard School of Public Health, in Boston. "It doesn't respond as well…and produces less antibodies." The number of ant...
