Comment on Internet Addiction by USANA

USANA — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 20:03:46 +0000

I have seen this happen myself. My cousin used to be a video game addict, but had got around it after some help from his friends. Internet can be an addiction. There are websites such as facebook which keep people online for quite some time. Although, facebook is a good thing due to it’s social interaction.

The prices of alcohol addiction treatment should really be as low as possible since there are lots of people seeking that kind of help.

Comment on Moving house can affect children's mental health by Caroline

By the time I was 14 years old my parents had moved house 7 times. I was always the ‘new’ girl at school & by the time I’d made some good friends I was moved again, over and over again. I’m now in my forties & still harbour deep resentment against my parents for putting me through such a disrupted childhood without any consideration for my feelings. I wasn’t asked once about my attitude to yet another house move.

I was close to suicide many times in my teens, taking pills & self-harming and I still suffer from waves of depression when I realise I never had the luxury of living in one place during my formative years.

I now believe my parents have personality disorders as they have continued moving into their seventies – 4 times in the same town! Totally unnecessary, a complete waste of time and loss of tens of thousands of pounds in removal costs & redecoration.

The only good to come out of my lack of secure & happy childhood is that I’m determined never to put my own children though the trauma of moving house constantly. At least they will benefit from my horrible experience.

Comment on More counsellors needed in schools by Beverley Sandler

Beverley Sandler — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 14:48:24 +0000

While I understand the need for counsellers in schools, and the extreme pressure teachers are under, at this present time. Unfortuneatly as the need is on the increase, the funding is sadly lacking. Counselling young people is so valuable, with the aid of counselling a young person while attending school, this may ward off issue’s in the future.

Comment on A promotion can lead to mental health deterioration by bernard

bernard — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 09:57:35 +0000

Totally agree with this if people are not mentally prepared for promotion. What happens is people often take on more than they can chew resulting in more pressure. You just need to be more realistic about what you are capable of in the time you have available.
