Family Problems Are The Number One Cause Of Loneliness According To Study

A similar trend applies to people’s social lives. Those who are satisfied with their friends and relationships outside of their families were significantly less lonely than those who were dissatisfied with their social lives, with a mere five percent compared to a startling 26 percent. Other factors that significantly influence loneliness include community attachment, marital status, and economic status. The number of lonely Americans who aren’t happy with the area or neighborhood they live in is about one in five, which is nearly triple the number of those who are more content with their community or who know more of their neighbors....

Girl Scouts Are Suing Boy Scouts For Stealing Potential Members

The suit was filed in 2018, and the Boy Scouts naturally asked a judge to dismiss the case. That prompted the Girl Scouts to file new documents on Christmas Eve detailing their allegations. The Girl Scouts call the Boy Scouts’ recruiting tactics “extraordinary and highly damaging to Girl Scouts” because they set off an “explosion of confusion.” “As a result of Boy Scouts’ infringement, parents have mistakenly enrolled their daughters in Boy Scouts thinking it was Girl Scouts,” the lawyers said, adding that this never occurred before 2018....

Gymnast Olympian Jade Carey S Won Gold Her Dad Helped A Bit Too

Winning a gold medal is always a remarkable achievement, but what is really impressive is that the 21-year-old U.S. gymnast was able to bounce back from a disappointing showing at the women’s vault on Sunday, where she placed last, and a disappointing individual all-around performance, too. But rather than dwell on the past, Jade was able to focus and earn a score of 14.366, beating out Italy’s Vanessa Ferrari to take first place....

Here S Why Levar Burton S Second Jeopardy Night Was So Different

Burton made his debut on July 26, and if he exhibited any nerves or stiffness on his first night, all of that evaporated on the second night. And it’s all because his wife Stephanie told him to loosen up. “I came back after taping the first episode and said, ‘So, how did I do?’ and she said, ‘Ehhh. It wasn’t you.’” Burton told GMA. “Thank God for marrying a woman that will tell you the truth…” His mistake was trying too hard to be Trebek-like, at least at first....

Hospitalization Rates For Teens Cllmbing Cdc Says

“I am deeply concerned by the numbers of hospitalized adolescents,” CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said in a statement. “I continue to see promising signs in CDC data that we are nearing the end of this pandemic in this country; however, we all have to do our part and get vaccinated to cross the finish line.” Adolescents aged 12 to 15 have been able to get Pfizer’s COVID vaccine since mid-May, which means none of the children in this age group will be fully vaccinated until late June or early July....

And she’s done quite a bit to make good on that promise, serve herself, and ultimately, hurt American kids in public schools. Here, are some things at just how much the DoE did to hurt kids this year....

Given that the reports out of Illinois and Pittsburgh follow revelations of a similar nature in Boston, Ireland, Kenya, the Philippines, and Croatia, we must entertain the notion that the answer is “yes.” As such, many Catholic parents like myself are reconsidering how they engage with churches and religious institutions....
