Britain's new princess named Charlotte
Britain's Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have named their newborn baby
daughter. The two royals are better known as Prince William and his wife Kate.
Their daughter was born on Saturday and since then the world has been waiting
to see what the new arrival would be called. The parents waited two days before
they told the world. Their new baby is called Charlotte. She also has two
middle names, Elizabeth and Diana. Her official title is Her Royal Highness
Princess Charlotte of Cambridge. She is fourth in line to the British throne.
This means that if her grandfather (Prince Charles), father, and brother
(Prince George) all die, she will be Britain's queen after Queen Elizabeth
passes away.

Bullied kids at higher risk of mental health problems
A new study says that
children who are bullied by other kids could have mental health problems when
they are adults. The study found that bullied children are more likely to
suffer from depression and anxiety in adulthood than children who suffered
child abuse. Researchers found that the children who experienced only bullying
were 1.6 times more likely than those who experienced only child abuse to have
mental health problems or to have tried to harm themselves. Researcher Dr
Dieter Wolke said society often thinks bullying is a normal part of childhood.
He said: "Being bullied is not a harmless rite of passage or an inevitable
part of growing up; it has serious long-term consequences."
Bullying
is a big problem around the world. In Britain, about 16,000 children stay at
home and do not go to school because they are often bullied. Their exam results
suffer and so do their chances of going to university or getting good jobs.
Bullied children may also suffer from other problems. They can have serious
illnesses, an inability to focus on one thing for a long time, poor social
skills, and have trouble holding down a job or staying in a relationship.
Catherine Bradshaw, an expert on youth violence, said parents and schools
needed to do more about recognizing and preventing bullying. She said parents
needed to teach their children how to communicate well with other children.1. TRUE / FALSE: Read the headline. Guess if a-h below are true (T) or false (F).
