A new study of 8,000 young
people in the journal of Health and Social Behavior shows that although love
can make grown-ups live healthily and happily, it is a bad thing for young
people. Puppy love (早恋) may bring trouble for
young people and can cause depression (沮丧). The study shows that
girls become more depressed than boys, and young girls are the
worst of all.
The possible reason for the
connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is "loss
of self". According to the study, even though boys would say "lose
themselves in a romantic (浪漫的) relationship", this "loss
of self" is much more likely to cause depression when it happens to girls.
Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings
and opinions. They won't tell that to their parents.
Dr. Marianm Kaufman, who
works on young people problems, says 15% to 20% of young people will have
depression during their growing. Trying romance often causes the depression.
She advises kids not to jump into romance too early. During growing up, it is important for young people to build strong friendship and a
strong sense of self. She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids
to keep close to their friends, attend more interesting
school activities and spend enough time with family.
Parents should watch for
their children's eating or mood changes. If they see some,they need to give help. The good news is that the connection
between romance and depression seems to become weak with age. Love will always
make us feel young,but only maturity (成熟) gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects.
