POPSTo know or not to know? I do not understand nor support her attitude. What is the 'father' she seeks? someone to blame for misfortunate emotional state? and if she looks him in the eyes, then what? would she understand something?

POPSMen and bulimia: Why suffer in silence? It's not just men that can suffer with eating disorders but I think it is much more 'taboo'. I hope John Prescott's revelation means more people with eating disorders will make contact in the future. Too often, the time when men get help is when they've gone too far and are being treated in hospital. They should know that it is possible to recover – and fully. But it's like breaking a leg – although it heals and you can walk again as if nothing ever happened, the bone doesn't heal in exactly the same way as it was before

POPSOn Social Networking Sites, Pro-Anorexia Seems Validated Prior to the rise of sites like Facebook and MySpace, these forums were "relatively anonymous," small in size and difficult to locate, according to the BBC. But now, the easy-to-access MySpace website hosts groups like "Pro Ana Nation," and Facebook includes groups such as "Get thin or die trying." MySpace's response is that it can be "very tricky" to determine which groups exist to provide support for those suffering from eating disorders and which exist to promote anorexia and bulimia

POPSPro-Ana groups grow on social networking sites I personally think these groups do need to exist. Banning them won't cure people of anorexia and at keast they have others to talk to who understand how they feel - something no non-anorexic can. There again, others may say that these social networks will encourage young people to over-slim and eventually get anorexia. That also may be a valid point. But I still don't think banning them is the answer. What do others think?

POPSIncrease Serotonin Levels With 5HTP This is a great supplement that I recommend a lot. As with pretty much every substance, it doesn't work for everyone. But I've known a lot of people who have done well with it. It's certainly cheaper than prescription drugs.

POPSSo these are the ads that my course blog (the one linked to my students) generated?
I'm not really even sure what to say about this one...it's kind of funny, yet sad at the same time! I'll find out if my students feel like weighing in on this one :o) Perhaps there's a key word or two that triggered the mental health stuff... Otherwise, I just have to wonder if this assumption for the ads simply predicated on the (assumed) age-group of the bloggers? Hardly deep or meaningful in the basic so-what-they're-just-adwords-sense; however, we're going to start discussing advertising in various formats of popular culture next week, and this set of ads rather sadly shows just how influential the media can be (to the detriment) of young-adults' mental health... First...shamelessly advertise product, service, etc... Second...shamelessly advertise the treatment for harm done by those ads and media the ads were meant to generate revenue for.... Third...make money on steps one and two... Fourth...repeat...

POPSLindsay Lohan & Vanity Fair article I didn't read this article...but being that i am not a fan of Lindsay's.. i think it's really funny if she's denying all this, if t is in fact on tape. I mean c'mon..Vanity Fair is not a 'tabloid' .. i doubt they would embelish this---i'd love for this tape to come out to the public.. Poor Lindsay Lohan..
