This is also a fact! One that sucks royally but a fact nontheless!!

It is commonly believed children that are physicly and/or sexually abused will be very likely to grow up and do the same. (And they are often discriminated against for this very reason! Even if they don't display any tendency towards such behavior)

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
