YAHOO NEWS -- July 28 -- Some 2,000 pupils at English state schools are to have special classes in happiness under a pilot scheme aimed at cutting depression, self-harm and anti-social behaviour. Lessons will include role play designed to help children build up self-esteem, challenge negative ways of thinking and express thoughts clearly. "They will also be shown special breathing exercises to keep them calm when their parents are arguing and avoid blaming themselves for situations that are beyond their control, for example, the fact their parents may be divorcing."
Mark Brooks: As leaders of online dating (and social networking) services, you can directly impact the divorce rates, and more importantly the mental well being of the next generation. Better matches, happier kids, happier human race. So the theory goes, anyway. Your comments please.
I think that perhaps a few adults could do with happiness training. Then they could pass it on to their children. Online dating? You take your chance with any relationship, you have to work at it.
