Teenage Girls: Do Not Complain!
Hello my friends! I´ve got an advice for you today: if having problems in your relationships or anywhere else, please don´t do what you´re used with the most - do not complain about it to your friends, do not discuss it extensively. Why so?
New research shows that extensive discussion of problems may have a negative effect on emotional adjustment in girls.
Friendships that lend themselves to ruminating about problems may actually contribute to emotional difficulties in girls, according to new research. A study in the July issue of the journal Developmental Psychology, published by the American Psychological Association, finds that girls are more likely than boys of the same age group to develop anxiety and depression as a result of extensive conversations with friends about their problems.
Co-rumination, or excessively talking with another person about problems, including rehashing them and dwelling on the negative feelings associated with them, is thought to have both costs and benefits for people experiencing unpleasant situations.
By the way, how about boys? If interested in the results of the study - click here.
