All outward violence begins as inner loneliness. She noticed that children who aren’t being noticed may eventually resort to being noticed by any means necessary.

A new study has found a link between aggressive breast cancer and stress. But the lead researcher suggests that the findings raise as many questions as they answer.
The study covered about 1000 breast cancer patients in Chicago — white, black and Latino. Soon after diagnosis, the women were interviewed to assess their level of stress. The researchers, led by Garth H. Rauscher of the University of Illinois at Chicago, compared the stress scores with the race of the patients and the aggressiveness of their cancers. Rauscher found that patients reporting greater stress were more likely to have more aggressive tumours（肿瘤）.
Previous research found that American black and Latino women have, at the time they are diagnosed, more aggressive cancers than white women. But researchers can’t decide whether this is because minority women are somehow more susceptible to aggressive tumours, or because, for socio-economic reasons, their cancers are probably not diagnosed until the disease has advanced to a more aggressive stage.
So, is having the aggressive disease causing the stress, or is stress causing the aggressive disease? Maybe some third factor is involved.
Rauscher admits that he is still a long way from the answer, and says that more research is needed to better understand the relationship between stress and breast cancer. For a lot of reasons, it is probably good to minimize stress in our lives. But he cautions that his research does not mean that people who have had a stressful experience are necessarily at greater risk of aggressive breast cancer.
