Those between the ages of 2 and 8 might exhibit the following signs of stress (link is external): regression (displaying infantile behaviors, thumb-sucking, bed-wetting (link is external)), depression (link is external), crying, anxiety, clinging, and temper tantrums. Indications that teens are troubled include poor grades, change of friends, isolation, distancing from family, oversleeping, drug or alcohol abuse (link is external), eating disorders (link is external), cutting, lying (link is external), and keeping secrets.

Because of the nature of show business, child actors are exposed to drugs, alcohol, and sex (link is external) at an early age. At the same time, young actors must constantly cope with rejection, jealousy (link is external), self-scrutiny, obsessive thoughts, and the nonstop need to be perfect.

The answers to these questions will depend on the motivation (link is external) of the child and parent, as well as the child's age, length of time in the spotlight, level of commitment, work environment (link is external), and financial gains.

The drive for fame can result from a parent's unfulfilled childhood (link is external) dreams (link is external) or from a child's inner vision of celebrity and success. Among those few children who actually attain fame, some go through the experience emotionally unscathed, but others are not as fortunate

As black women, we've got to do what any rational, survivalist- minded person would do after finding herself in a relationship with some- one whose pain makes him abusive. We must continue to give up the love but from a distance that's saf

Any feminism that fails to acknowledge how black folks in 1990s America are living and trying to love in a war zone is useless to black women and to men.

Since definitions of feminism tend to be as disparate as the women who use them, let me define mine. My feminism places the welfare of black women and the black community on its list of priorities. It also maintains that black-on-black love is essential to the survival of both

THERE is no good telling me you are going to be good, Dorian,” cried Lord Henry, dipping his white fingers into a red copper bowl filled with rose-water. “You are quite perfect. Pray don’t change.”

Gradually the events of the preceding night crept with silent blood-stained feet into his brain, and reconstructed themselves there with terrible distinctness.

n exclamation of horror broke from Hallward’s lips as he saw in the dim light the hideous thing on the canvas leering at him.

answered Hallward,

It seemed to him that as the man left the room he peered in the direction of the screen. Or was that only his fancy?

“I called last night, and they told me you were at the Opera. Of course I knew that was impossible. But I wish you had left word where you had really gone to. I passed a dreadful evening, half afraid that one tragedy might be followed by another

These common people here, with their coarse faces and brutal gestures, become quite different when she is on the stage. They sit silently and watch her. They weep and laugh as she wills them to do. She makes them as responsive as a violin. She spiritualizes them, and one feels that they are of the same flesh and blood as one’s self.”

I SUPPOSE you have heard the news, Basil?” said Lord Henry on the following evening, as Hallward was shown into a little private room at the Bristol where dinner had been laid for three. “No, Harry,”

I know you quite well by your photographs. I think my husband has got twenty-seven of them.

“Basil,” cried Dorian Gray, “if Lord Henry goes I shall go too. You never open your lips while you are painting, and it is horribly dull standing on a platform and trying to look pleasant. Ask him to stay. I insist upon it.”

“Oh, I am tired of sitting, and I don’t want a life-sized portrait of myself,” answered the lad, swinging round on the music-stool, in a wilful, petulant manner. When he caught sight of Lord Henry, a faint blush colored his cheeks for a moment, and he started up. “I beg your pardon, Basil, but I didn’t know you had any one with you.”

It is probable that I may have dared much and done little; for, in the words of COWPER, “It is one thing to write what may please our friends, who, because they are such, are apt to be a little biassed in our favour, and another, to write what may please every body, because they who have no connection, or even knowledge of the author, will be sure to find fault if they can.”

In submitting to the public eye the following collection, I have not only to combat the difficulties that writers of verse generally encounter, but may incur the charge of presumption for obtruding myself on the world, when, without doubt, I might be, at my age, more usefully employed. These productions are the fruits of the lighter hours of a young man, who has lately completed his nineteenth year
