MidBrain’s Musings:
I’m not quite sure what to do with this information, but ScienceDaily reports that high school aged girls who view themselves as attractive are 35% more likely to be socially victimized. This includes everything from being the object of gossip to being physically threatened by bullies. Strangely enough, boys in the same age group reported the opposite result - if they considered themselves to be attractive they were 25% less likely to be picked on.
The research was done at the University of Alberta, Canada based on an anonymous questionnaire filled about by 2,300 students aged 12 to 18. The information gleaned in this study, which is published in the journal Aggressive Behavior, could be used to raise awareness about social victimization among teens. I’m particularly curious to see if the researchers saw any correlation with students who are heavy users of makeup or other cosmetics. And if cosmetics do make a difference, which ones are more likely to get you into trouble. Laura Mercier eyeshadow? MAC lipstick? Or dying your hair blonde with Manic Panic? Hmmmm, maybe some of items on the Mean Girl Carousel below can shed some light on the subject.

化妆会招致欺负吗？
MidBrain的深思：
我不知道该怎样应对这个信息，但是据每日科学报道，那些被认为具有吸引力的高中女生在社会上会被欺骗的几率要高35%。这包括了很多事情，甚至于成为被一些欺负弱小者说闲话的对象。更奇怪的是，同样年龄的男生在报道中得到了相反的结果——如果他们被认为具有吸引力，他们被作弄的几率将会小25%。
这个研究是在加拿大的阿尔伯塔大学完成的，它是基于2300名12至18岁的学生的匿名调查问卷而来。在这个研究中得到的信息已经发表在Aggressive Behavior这本杂志上，它提高了社会对于青少年伤害的意识。我对于研究者们是否看出那些极度喜欢化妆的学生的相互关联性而感到非常好奇。如果化妆的确导致了差异性，使得有人更可能来找你麻烦。Laura Mercier的眼影？MAC的唇膏？或者是用Manic Panic将你的头发染成金色？也许以下的Mean Girl Carousel上的一些东西可以使得这个消息更清楚。
