North Korea, through Kim Yo Jong, dismisses South Korea's recent peace efforts, calling them a 'great miscalculation' and expressing no interest in dialogue, amid ongoing high distrust between the two Koreas.
A new study published in the journal Nature Mental Health suggests that children who develop a strong distrust of others after being bullied are more likely to experience significant mental health problems as adolescents, such as anxiety, depression, anger, and hyperactivity. The study, which examined data from 10,000 children in the U.K., found that those bullied at age 11 who developed greater interpersonal distrust by age 14 were around 3.5 times more likely to experience clinically significant mental health problems at age 17. The research highlights the need for school-based programs to foster interpersonal trust and counter the negative impacts of bullying.
A new study co-led by UCLA Health and the University of Glasgow found that young teenagers who develop a strong distrust of other people as a result of childhood bullying are substantially more likely to have significant mental health problems as they enter adulthood. The study, published in the journal Nature Mental Health, used data from 10,000 children in the UK and found that adolescents bullied at age 11 and who developed greater interpersonal distrust by age 14 were around 3.5 times more likely to experience clinically significant mental health problems at age 17. The findings could help develop evidence-based interventions to counter the negative mental health impacts of bullying.
Childhood vaccine exemptions in North Carolina have reached an all-time high, with a 2.4% exemption rate in the 2022-23 school year, a 0.5% increase from the previous year. The CDC report did not specify the reasons for these exemptions, but pediatricians attribute the rise to increasing distrust around vaccines, which began during the pandemic. While most parents are still vaccinating their children, concerns arise as the exemption rate exceeds 5%, potentially increasing the risk of vaccine-preventable outbreaks. Pediatricians emphasize the importance of accurate information and urge parents to follow the recommended vaccination schedule.
A recent survey conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago and the nonprofit group Starts With Us found that while Democrats and Republicans agree on core values such as fairness, compassion, and personal responsibility, they still distrust each other. The survey reveals that most Americans agree on the core principles underlying American democracy, but they no longer recognize that the other side also holds those values. Experts say that while a certain amount of polarization is natural, it can become a significant problem when it’s exploited by political parties or when one party no longer views the other as legitimate opposition but as an enemy.
