News Update

I heard about this or a similar study. It basically says that girls don't perform as well when they're told that boys are better. I wonder if there might be a corollary of boys performing worse when told girls are better, or if a fluke of our society makes one sex more or less resistant to such self-defeating thoughts.

Tongue piercing can have bad health consequences. Who would have guessed?

Says the study: Boy monkeys prefer trucks; girl monkeys prefer dolls.

hmph

anything can have bad health consequences if it isn't done correctly, and would't YOU perform badly if YOU were told off the bat that you wouldn't do well?
