Talk yourself to depression

Hush girls,stop that angst-y chatter.(mind your body august 14 2008)

Sometimes its just better to just zip your lips when it comes to personal problems.Among girls aged eight to 14,for example,those who dwell on personal concerns with friends-such as whether a particular boy likes them-are likely to be anxious and depressed.

Girls spend such a high percentage of time dwelling on problems that it makes them feel sad and hopeless. Boys can talk about concerns with friends but they spend lesser time ruminating and probably glide away without feeling worse.
Girls on the other hand are more likely to focus on the same problem repeatedly.

"In general,talking is healthy.However, co-rumination represents too much of a good thing"

SO GIRLS, STOP DWELLING ON A SAME PROBLEM OVER AND OVER =)
