...possible reason for the link between romance and higher risk of depression for girls is "loss of self." A new University of Tennessee study of 1,300 high schoolers shows that even though boys say they "lose themselves in a romantic relationship," this loss of self is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls. Romantically involved adolescent girls tend to submerge their feelings and opinions and estrange themselves from friends and family...
Parents should watch for signs of depression--increased isolation and sleep, eating or mood changes--and if they see these symptoms in their daughter or son for more than two weeks, get professional help.

Love will always make us feel like teenagers, but maturity gives us a chance to avoid the worst side effects...

Instead, as it did to obtain Milosevic’s arrest, the United States should link its direct financial aid to the Serbian government to Milosevic’s speedy extradition. The U.S. could legitimately cut its aid if the Serbian government were to deny Milosevic to the Hague, and placing a specific and tangible penalty behind its demand would send a clear message that...
