                                   Lasting effects of bullying

Bullying can affect the individual in more ways than one would think. Anyone, whether young or old who has ever been bullied knows how bullying can truly impact a person’s life. A person can feel the effects of bullying in various ways. Bullying can affect someone physically, emotionally, and/ or mentally depending on the severity of the bullying. The lasting effects of being bullied can impact a person anywhere. Specific places may resurface bad memories for some people, like old schools or houses where they were bullied. Also, for the victims of bullying that could no longer cope with the pain, their graves display the lasting effects of bullying. The lasting effects of bullying starts to impact an individual after the initial pain and shock has boiled over. It doesn’t take long for bullying to affect a person for the rest of their life. People are so affected by bullying because after constant day after day of being made fun of and tormented, those horrible memories never go away. Since bullying can be a very traumatic experience, the impacts on a person are quite traumatic as well. Being bullied can change a person’s life, it breaks you down piece by piece and you’re never the same after.

Bullying can have multiple lasting effects on a person. These effects can impact the victims mentally, physically, and/or emotionally. Many people think that bullying is over once words are said and beatings are given, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact the effects of bullying continue to haunt it’s victims for as long as they live. There are many effects of bullying shortly after it is done, but the lasting effects alone have been proven to be even more severe. Studies show that people bullied as kids are less mentally healthy as adults. Bullying victims, also have an increased suicide risk, depression, poor school performance, and low self-esteem. One study, specifically researching the long term effects of bullying was presented in 2010 at the Annual Convention of the American Psychological Association concluded that          “Pure victims of bullying, were at higher risk, for depression, anxiety, panic attacks, and agoraphobia in adulthood than children uninvolved in bullying.”  As a victim of bullying myself, I concur with the results of this study. It’s been about four years since I was bullied consistently each day. The things that I’m dealing with now from my bullying experience bother and continue to haunt me every single day. Since my bullying experience I have developed an OCD like behavior and social anxiety. I deal and try to overcome these problems every day, which is a very hard thing to do.  I also am still struggling with major self- esteem issues.  Even to this day I have a hard time believe that I’m not ugly or weird, but it’s hard to just forget what I was told every single day for an entire school year.  Though like many others, I’m beginning to heal, although I will never fully be able to recover, because the memories of all the torment will always linger with me. So dealing with the many problems that I’m dealing with now, I know that bullying has many lasting effects, and that I’m going to have to deal with these problems for the rest of my life as many other people will have to as well.

Although the lasting effect of bullying on me wasn’t nearly as bad as the lasting effect that bullying has on others. The most permanent and all too often lasting effect of bullying is sadly, suicide. On the news lately there have been many reports of teenagers who have been driven into suicide due to the horrific bullying they were subjected to.  Many people believe that suicide is a very extreme way of dealing with bullying. Although, those people have most likely never dealt with any form of bullying before themselves. Being teased and made fun of day after day breaks down any strength a person possibly has left. Some people aren’t strong enough to deal with constant torment, and the only way they think the bullying will ever stop is to leave this world.  It’s sad to think that some people feel this way, but a lot of people sadly do. Suicide is the most severe lasting effect there is. One of the saddest and local suicide cases as a result of bullying is the death of Phoebe Prince. Formerly from the United Kingdom, the Prince family migrated to South Hadley, Massachusetts in 2010 to live the American dream. Although on January 14, 2010 Phoebe gave up her fight. After being bullied viciously for several months by two groups of students at South Hadley High School,  she could no longer take the pain. The final straw that pushed Phoebe over the edge was when one of her bullies drove by her and threw a can at her head and said “Go kill yourself.”  Sadly that’s just what she did. Phoebe grabbed a scarf and hung herself in her family home, later to be discovered by her younger sister. In this case the lasting effect of bullying on Phoebe was her death, and not only did the bullying impact her but it also impacted her sister, who discovered her older sister’s dead body.  The lasting effects not only impact the victim but also the people closest to the victim as well. When a victim takes their own life, their death affects their family and friends for as long as they live as well.  Statistics say that “four thousand victims of bullying commit suicide each year”. For me, that statistic is far too many helpless lives gone that could’ve been saved.

            Bullying has gone on for far too long, and it’s getting much worse as time goes on. Although, I believe teenagers and my generation are the most likely to stop this vicious cycle of torment and pain. I believe teenagers can stop this bullying trend if they gain some useful qualities. Once teenagers gain compassion and understanding that’s when my generation will finally end the trend of bullying. Once people are able to except and look past the differences in one another instead of making fun of each other, that’s when teenagers will be on their way to stopping this cruel trend. Also, I believe that if teenagers are kind and nice to others, those positive influences will spread and reach people who truly need a bit of kindness in their lives. All in all, as the golden rule states, “if we treat others the way we would want to be treated” then bullying would be solved and teenagers could start to spread kindness instead of hate. This may sound cliché but it’s the truth; a little bit of kindness can go a long way, especially in trying to stop bullying.

       The impacts of bullying can be very severe and can result in numerous tragedies. Although, all these deaths and suffering could have been prevented. If people were tolerant and accepting, bullying and all these problems would never exist. Although bullying is a major part of today’s society, and increases as time goes on. Even though bullying is common in today’s society, I feel that it can easily be stopped. My generation I feel has the greatest chance of ending this common occurrence of bullying. My generation is arguably the most accepting, we are living in a world with so many ethnicities, cultures, and we’re co- existing with more and more people every day. Bullying is near its end, it may take a while but eventually, people will live in a world of acceptance without any bullying.

               The cure has been discovered.


       Throughout the years, cancer research has become more and more common as people desperately try to find a cure for this severe disease. Though all these efforts to find a cure, are simply useless and a waste of time. Some may disagree that cancer research isn't a waste, but those people aren't aware that the cure has already been discovered. Polish biochemist, Stanislaw Burzynski, believe it or not had discovered the cure for cancer in 1976 at the Burzynski  Clinic in Houston Texas, about forty years ago. Although, due to some administrations, the cure isn't available to the general public in the United States.

       Burzynski's cure is almost all natural and very safe to the human body. The cure is a antineoplaston therapy that treats various types and stages of cancer. Antineoplastons are a mixture of amino acid derivatives, and peptides found in human blood and urine. According to Burzynski, he has found that people with cancer lack antineoplastons and don't have an adequate supply like a healthy person. This antineoplaston therapy is used to control tumor growth through "a naturally occurring biochemical mechanism in the body that directs cancer cells into normal channels of differentiation, that is one of the theoretical foundations of this therapy" as stated by the National Cancer Institute. Though, the antineoplaston has been proven to cure cancer, and it's not a "theoretical" foundation.


      Through numerous clinical studies at the Burzynski Clinic, antineoplastons have prevailed as being a successful therapy for various types and stages of cancer. The clinical trial Antineoplaston A in 1977, concluded that there were no toxicities reported in any patient which is amazing for any cancer treatment, because most types chemotherapy are extremely toxic to the people receiving the treatments. Another trial in 1986 called Antineoplaston AS2-1 concluded that out of 20 patients receiving the therapy, complete remission was reported in six cases, which confirms the success of the treatment. In all of Burzynski's clinical studies numerous recipients went into complete remission and partial remission in just a matter of days or months. Even though there is clear evidence of the success of this therapy, cancer centers and different administrations are still denying that this antineoplaston treatment fails to cure cancer in its patients. The Memorial Sloan - Kettering Cancer Center has stated: "Bottom Line: There is no clear evidence to support that the anticancer effects of antineoplaston in humans”. Although as shown in the studies, there is most certainly clear evidence to support the anticancer effects of antineoplaston in patients who receive the therapy. Many patients in each of his clinical studies come out cancer free or almost completely cancer free.
   
       The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will not approve Burzynski's treatment, because the clinical trials show "no consistent proof or evidence of cancer treatment" for his patients. The FDA's logic is very much flawed, no cancer treatment not even other chemotherapies are  predictable or consistent, because every patient's cancer is different and each person can react differently to any treatment. Even with other chemotherapies, results aren't always predictable or consistent. Plus many types of  chemotherapies are also much more toxic than the antineoplastons, and using the antineoplastons is a safer and less expensive method to cure cancer. Based on the clinical trials of Antineoplastons, Burzynski's method seems to be more effective than most chemotherapy treatments.
     
     It's bad enough that the FDA isn't approving Burzynski's perfectly safe and effective antineoplaston therapy, but the FDA has been filing lawsuit after lawsuit against the Burzynski Clinic for unlawful practice, for not for not governing the protection of human subjects, insurance fraud, and other various accusations. Even though there had been so many lawsuits against the Burzynski Clinic, the FDA has never won and Burzynski was never charged for any of these lawsuits. The FDA never even had any real case against the Burzynski Clinic, all their cases were weak, and really had no evidence to back up the lawsuits. The FDA is merely just trying to interfere and delay Burzynski's important work, which could potentially impact the oncology and pharmaceutical fields. The antineoplaston therapy costs a lot less since most of the cure comes from the human body, compared to most chemotherapies  which cost much more since there are so many chemicals involved in many types of chemotherapies. Since Burzynski's method costs much less, if his treatment was approved the oncology and pharmaceutical fields would lose an incredible amount of money, and to prevent this from happening the FDA isn't approving this incredible treatment and they continue to file lawsuits against the Burzynski Clinic. The FDA is trying to end Burzynski's clinic in order to keep their money coming in. In this specific case the FDA isn't showing their concerns for the well-being of the citizens of the United States, since they're denying us from a treatment that can save so many lives. All the FDA and oncology fields care about is their money. If antineoplaston therapy wasn't effective and consistent, why would the FDA be suing and denying Burzynski's cure?

     Burzynski is simply a man trying to improve the lives of the people who are fighting cancer. He is just trying to improve the chance of survival for his patients. The only thing stopping Burzynski is the FDA. Due to the FDA's incompetence to do their jobs and due to their greediness, people aren't able to receive this incredible cure. Everyone should know that this therapy exists and everyone should have the opportunity to receive this treatment. The FDA and all these other fields and companies say they care about the well-being of people, but they're denying everyone a cure that could save so many people. In the Constitution it states that people are all born with unalienable rights that include life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Denying this cure to the general public is impeding on these unalienable rights. People have the right to know and proceed with all cures that are available, and hiding this antineoplaston treatment from people is breaking the rights stated in the Constitution. People's rights have been ignored for forty years and the people who died of cancer during those forty years, died due to the FDA and people who didn't give them a chance to access this treatment that could have potentially saved their lives. Antioneoplaston therapy is the cure to cancer, but people are still trying to find a cure, even though an amazing cure has already been discovered. As long as the FDA continues to ignorantly deny this treatment, people will never be able to take advantage of this life saving cure that would impact the lives of so many. As long as greediness and stupidity continues to run this great country of ours, death will continue to prevail for as long as these companies and corporations move on with their conceited and ignorant ways.


                        

                         A city that cannot be broken. 
                                                 

Last Monday, April 15, the strong city of Boston was rocked by a ruthless act of terrorism. The last major attack on American soil were the attacks in New York City on September 11th, 2001; this recent bombing at the finish line of the Boston Marathon resurfaced many painful wounds. The cold blooded attackers who injured 282 innocent civilians, and killed 3 people were Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, and his brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, who had immigrated from Chechen, Russia to Cambridge, Massachusetts in 2002. Reports show that Dzhokar and Tamelan used shrapnel- packed pressure cooker bombs. The brothers anticipated for the bombing to cause much destruction as they were expecting all the bombs they planted to go off, but only two of the numerous explosives detonated. The impact of the two explosions resulted in severe damage, though if all the planned bombs succeeded to detonate, the death and injury toll would be staggeringly worse. The preliminary evidence from Dzhokhar's interrogation supports that the brothers were motivated by religious extremism, but were apparently not involved with any Islamic terrorist organizations.

       
         When I first heard that there were two bombings in Boston, I thought it was a joke. I was in the car with my family, when the radio station began frantically streaming reports of two explosions at the finish line of the Boston Marathon. As I came to a conclusion that the attacks in Boston were no joke, I didn't think at first that the explosions were an act of terrorism. I kept thinking that the explosions might have been a gas line explosion or some kind of malfunction, because I couldn't fathom someone purposely attacking the city that I love. The attacks were so close to home that at first I just couldn't understand why someone would want to subject Boston to so much suffering. I tried so long to comprehend the events that had taken place, but it was just too much for me, I couldn't wrap around the notion that someone had killed and injured so many of my friends, neighbors, family and fellow Americans. I had no words to say, all I did was sit in front of the television in shock, as I watched the city of Boston slowly fall apart.

    
         After so many details of the Boston Marathon Bombings were released, all of Massachusetts and the United States began its mourning. One of the people that had been killed at the Marathon evoked very sad emotions in many people throughout the country. The death of eight year old Martin Richard truly evoked strong emotions within millions of people, myself included. It's sad when any child dies, but it is especially horrible when a child is massacred in an act of terrorism. No child should ever have to suffer through the conditions that Martin had. Martin was only trying to have a good time out, supporting the runners of the Marathon with his family at the finish line, but his kindness resulted in his death. Martin was a nice boy, and he had a very bright future ahead of him. It makes me extremely sad to know that Martin will never get to grow up and have a positive impact on the lives of the people he would've encountered. Every child should have the chance to grow up and it's not right that his life was cut short by two men who put no value on a human life, even the life of an innocent child. Martin was already starting to begin his life on a good path, as he promoted his saying "No more hurting people. Peace." Martin may not be physically on this Earth anymore, but his memory and his inspiring behavior and sayings will live on, and hopefully his words will be heard louder than ever. In addition to the death of Martin, there were many reports of lost limbs after the explosions. One picture I saw was a man being pushed in a wheel chair, with his legs completely blown off, and all that was left were dandling pieces of skin. This picture is one that I will never forget, as it is embedded in my mind. Before seeing this picture I knew there were numerous amputees and extreme injury, but after seeing an actual victim and real injuries, it finally made me see how bad the bombings really were, and how many people lives will be changed forever. This photo makes me sick to my stomach, because these bombers fully knew that the shrapnel would severely injure people. Also, the fact that the bombers decided to detonate the explosives right at the finish line at one of the most prestigious marathons is really low. After completing the marathon, runners are jubilant and thrilled, and it's horrible that so many of these runners weren't able to finish off the day with happiness and excitement; instead many ended their days in fear and pain. To imagine that so many runners lost legs and arms, it's sad to think about because they probably will never be able to run the marathon again, which must be devastating to them. So many lives were taken away and changed forever, because of two despicable men who didn't think twice about the lives they were going to ruin. 

                
              Although there is much sadness and tragedy surrounding the bombings, there are many good things that resulted from this attack as well. During and after the bombings many people exhibited true heroism and patriotism in Boston. On the news and the radio, I heard some very heartwarming stories of people helping each other out, and trying to save people they had never met before.  It makes me happy to hear that during the bombings it wasn’t an every man for himself situation. It’s nice to know that in times of tragedy people not only think of themselves, but others as well. People that have never met each other before were working together to save and help as many people as they could. Especially in today’s selfish, conceited world, it’s encouraging to know that people are still willing to put others before themselves. The heroism during the Boston Marathon Bombings shows that the American spirit stills exists, and that in the end we’re all a family in this country and no man is left behind, under any circumstances. After the attacks, the patriotism in Boston and throughout Massachusetts was stronger than ever. The people of Boston aren’t to be messed with. When you mess with Boston, you mess with the whole state of Massachusetts. As David Ortiz said before a Red Sox game ““This is our fucking city. Nobody is going to dictate our freedom. Stay strong.” I think Ortiz is completely right, and even though the bombers were out to ruin Boston and its people, they couldn’t succeed. The bombers didn’t acknowledge the fact that Boston is one of the strongest cities and that the police in Watertown and Boston didn’t stop searching and looking for them until Tamelan was dead and Dzhokhar was captured. The bombers may have thought they could destroy Boston, but that was an unrealistic goal, Boston can’t be destroyed. Boston is too strong. Together the people of Boston and the state of Massachusetts in the end destroyed the two masterminds behind the horrific bombings.
              
         The Boston Marathon Bombings shook the people of Boston. The city may have been shaken, but they were not broken. Boston has seen things that a city should never have to see or go through. Though the people of Boston and the state of Massachusetts stood together, and provided each other with comfort and support. Now that the only living bomber left, Dzhokar Tsarnaev, has been captured and taken into custody, the city of Boston can continue to celebrate and recover from the horrific events that occurred last Monday. Though Boston will never fully recover, no city can ever move past an attack like this, but if Boston continues to stay strong they will continue to move on and heal. Boston is a strong city, a city full of education and opportunities and nothing will ever change that. “Here's what I see all across this great city - people working together to make Boston a better place to live and to raise children, to grow and pursue dreams.” Thomas Menino.

       Interview Assignment: The Inside Truth on Teen Pregnancy.


      Over the past few years teen pregnancy has been increasing at a very alarming rate. Some people believe that the concerning spike in teen pregnancy is due to the media almost idolizing pregnant teens. As young mothers are being given their own shows like 16 and pregnant, and becoming famous for being promiscuous and displaying behaviors that are typically frowned upon. The opinions that teens are purposely becoming pregnant just to reap future benefits whether from the government or television, often comes from the public, that are people who have never known or worked with a pregnant teen. Judith Nordstrom, a woman who devotes her time working and helping teen moms, isn't so quick to judge teen mothers as she has seen what these teenagers go through on an everyday basis.

    Judith very much enjoys working with teen mothers and through her professional experience she is able to provide an unbiased opinion on teens mothers on the contrary to most public opinion. As the media consistently criticizes teen mothers as incompetent as parents to properly care for their children, based on what television shows convey to the public. Although seeing the care the children of teen mothers receive first hand is much more different than watching teen moms on television. When Judith was asked to describe how well teen mothers in her opinion are able to properly take care of their babies she responded saying, " Well, they're too young, they're not experienced enough to take care of their babies.The young mothers need people to help and support them in the process." Judith does agree that most teen moms aren't old enough and mature to actually take care of their babies properly, but because they're too young. Although with help and support teen mothers are eventually able to give their babies the proper care they need. Sure people are quick to judge these teenagers but they never stop to help these young mothers and teach them how to give the care that babies require. 

       There  has been much public opinion expressed about the show 16 and pregnant, Judith feels "I don't think pregnant teens and young mothers should be on tv, because I think these kids get pregnant because they think that they will be on one of these shows and that they'll be famous for getting pregnant. I think there are more pregnancies because of these shows." From a woman who works with teen moms professionally, she knows that 16 and pregnant isn't a good influence. Shows like 16 and pregnant are resulting in more and more pregnancies, instead of actually teaching teens that teen pregnancy isn't good, because the television networks are rewarding pregnant teenagers. Having talked and worked with many teen mothers, when asked about whether she believes that teens purposely become pregnant in order to reap the benefits, whether from the government or television; Judith responded saying "I think teen pregnancies are an accident most of the time. They're just young and naive." There are some teenagers that purposely become pregnant solely because of the future benefits they believe they will get from being pregnant. Although for the most part, teen pregnancy is just an accident and unplanned.                  

   

         Many people believe that it would be better for the children of teen mothers to be put up for adoption, and to be raised by older adults in order to have a good and happy upbringing. Since Judith has seen many young mothers care for their children and try to raise their babies right, Judith believes that "More than half of them,yes, should be put up for adoption. Most teen moms only think of themselves and what they can get out of the system after a while. After knowing what they can get, the young mothers think of themselves only." Most babies of teen mothers aren't given the care they deserve and more than half of them would be better off being put up for adoption. Although many babies would most likely have a better life being raised by adults, that doesn't mean all teen mothers are incapable of raising their children well. Judith said that "many of the mothers truly love their babies and they try to do the right thing for them. While other moms still put themselves first even though they have young infants to take care of." Some teenagers are just not suited for parenthood, but just because these mothers are young doesn't mean that they can't provide their babies with a good life, because many young moms do whatever they can do to provide well for their children and to give them a good life.

        The lives of these teens mothers are also drastically changed after becoming pregnant as well.Although the media negatively depicts teen pregnancy, 16 and pregnant, actually does a very good job in showing that many teenagers are not able to do the things they used to, due to their pregnancies. 16 and pregnant shows the lack of freedom teen mothers have once they have their babies, and the limitations as to what they can do. When Judith was asked about how the teen moms lives have changed because of their pregnancy she responds saying "They try to be like everybody else but they can't, because they have responsibilities." Being a teenager myself I could never imagine being a mother at my age. I believe that teenagers should enjoy their crazy teenage years. Motherhood should not be part of the typical teenage years, but sadly now a days teen pregnancy is becoming more and more common. Teens should be going to the movies or to the mall, instead of staying home taking care of  babies and missing out on some of the best years of their lives.

Mr. Rogers

 

                          

                     The man behind the sweaters.

 

     In today’s world children are being allowed to watch inappropriate reality shows for example, Jersey Shore. On these reality shows young children are being exposed to inappropriate and self-destructive behavior s like excessive drinking, partying and explicit material children should not be viewing at young ages. Many children on the internet and the news have been shown displaying risqué and sexual behaviors at alarmingly young ages. It is very likely that young adolescents are behaving like this because those types of behaviors are continuously shown on television and are glorified by major television networks like MTV. The lack of morals and increasing sexual and violent content on commercials and television are evidently impacting the younger generations in a very negative way. Children are noticing that people are being rewarded for negative behaviors like partying, drinking, cussing, and getting pregnant at young ages more than positive behaviors like doing good in school, helping people, and being kind to others. 

      I believe children should grow up watching television programs that promote and encourage positive behaviors and morals, like many of the shows I watched growing up. Although, there are few children shows that I grew up watching left on television, most have sadly been taken off the air. Of all the shows that have had the most positive impact on children would have to had been Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood. Though I doubt many children today have ever even heard of Mr. Rogers, which is very discouraging and I believe that should change. Children growing up in today’s world are surrounded by so many negative influences than probably any other generation yet. This young generation needs to be exposed to positive influences, important lessons and morals more than ever. In the thirty three years that Mister Rogers' Neighborhood was aired on television for, Fred Rogers created four hundred sixty episodes that had the most positive impact on the children who watched his show and the legacy of his episodes still live on even to this day. Mr. Rogers was like no other person on television. He was a soft spoken man but his gentle and welcoming persona very much appealed to his children viewers. As a minister himself, Mr. Rogers had well developed morals and he wanted to reach out to younger generations as he was displeased how television addressed children. 

     As he set out to do Mr. Rogers discussed and taught many important and sometimes sensitive subjects on his show. Mr. Rogers taught children about common subjects like sharing, making friends, forgiveness, etc. Though, he also took on more difficult subjects to talk to children about like divorce, death, disability, equality and tolerance.  Mr. Rogers helped many children through their struggles as he provided children with his unique wisdom and insight and told every child that “you’re special.” Mr. Rogers loved everyone the way they were, he was also considered the most tolerant man in the world and said to all children that "God loves you just the way you are." Mr. Rogers taught kids how to be good people, he also taught them that everyone is unique and to be kind to people who are different.  The impact that Mr. Rogers had on the millions of children is undeniable, he truly cared for everyone, and to me he was the greatest man who ever lived.  I will always remember Mr. Rogers and I find it sad that many generations will never know who Mr.Rogers even is. Instead of watching MTV or Comedy Central, children should remain innocent and young while watching Mister Rogers' Neighborhood singing,

                                                                                  "It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood,

                                                                                   A beautiful day for a neighbor.

                                                                                   Would you be mine?

                                                                                   Could you be mine?"

Twin Telepathy: Fact or Fiction?

Of all the wonders surrounding twins, the most talked about and researched is whether twins actually obtain the ability to communicate between one another mentally; with no means of sensory perception. Though many people doubt the validity of this extraordinary phenomenon,  I can personally say through experience that twin telepathy is no myth. Being a twin myself, I have experienced telepathy with my sister, so having gone through this personally I can validate that twin telepathy is fact and that all the doubts surrounding this unfathomable occurrence should not exist. Even though many twins can confirm the truth of twin telepathy, there is still no scientific evidence that proves or supports the existence of this sixth sense, which still creates some doubt. Besides the fact that there is no evidence to solidly confirm the truthfulness of this extra sense between twins, that doesn't mean that this extra sensory perception doesn't occur.Twin Telepathy is considered to be a sixth sense, and to many other twins and I this occurrence is very much amazing and completely remarkable. Personally having the ability to connect with my twin on a completely different level than anyone else on this Earth is just incredible. For my twin Lindsey and I, this extra sense is presented in various ways. When Lindsey is hurt or if something is bothering her I can physically feel when something is wrong. Also on many occasions Lindsey and I will finish each others sentences and steal each other thoughts and ideas, almost as if we share the same brain. Many disbelievers of this concept of twin telepathy say it's just merely a coincidence, but many twins know that's not true. The bond that twins share whether they're identical or fraternal is very special, in more ways than one. Not only do twins grow a very close bond but in many cases twins develop a physic link from being with one another throughout their whole lives. When twins begin developing a physic link their bond becomes stronger and closer, compared to twins who never develop a physic link. It's true that not every set of twins develops telepathy and studies show that about thirty percent of all twins actually experience telepathic abilities. The percentage of twins that do establish this ability will likely have numerous stories to share and will prove to you through their own experiences that twin telepathy is one hundred percent fact.
