...later on. I did it a few times when I was in my early teens, and it didn't really catch. It was when the bipolar really set in, as an adult form of the disorder. There's childhood and early onset bipolar, but it transitions in your early adulthood into something a little bit different, and extremely severe. It was at that time that my impulse control just went out the window. Impulse control when you're manic just disappears. One of the ways that manifested in my life was in cutting, and not being able to stop cutting...
...concerned that your child's baby fat has ballooned into a more serious problem, join the club. About 18% of American children aged 6 to 19 are now overweight, and childhood obesity rates are rising around the world. But what does early overweight mean for youngsters in adulthood: will overweight kids necessarily become overweight - and unhealthy - grown-ups?

...about 20,000 - and the study was started in the early 1970s, primarily by Dr. Gerald Berenson. We examined all the children in this town for lipids, blood pressure, weight and height, skin-fold thicknesses, smoking, alcohol consumption - anything we thought might be related to heart disease in adulthood. Of those children, the ones who had a body mass index (or BMI, a ratio of weight to height that's commonly used to define overweight) in the 95th percentile or higher when compared to a CDC reference population - as 18% of American children now have - about two-thirds grew...
...think there's very suggestive evidence from the Bogalusa Heart Study to show that childhood obesity is related not just to weight, but also to poor health in adulthood. When the first children in the study became older adolescents, particularly when they began driving, there were some deaths, due to suicide, homicide and accidents, so we were able to look at the amount of atherosclerosis in their coronary arteries and aorta. And we published our first paper on this in the mid '80s. It was certainly the first paper to show that high levels of lipids - and obesity - were related...
...about some of my favorite TV shows and films from childhood, like “Full House” and “E.T.” But my mind quickly turns to the ugly realities that emerged as silly catchphrases and smiling baby teeth faded into adolescence and adulthood. The list of successes becomes a list of bloody defeats.First and foremost, take River Phoenix. Discovered by Burton, he was a child star in the mid-80s—you may remember him as Young Indy in “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade...
