- Double Take: Myths surround eating disorders, treatment
- November 19, 2012
- Katie: Anorexia nervosa whittled me down to 90 pounds when I was 15, putting my body mass index in the first percentile of girls my age. I’m not proud of that, but I am proud to write that after regaining the weight I lost, I have achieved happiness and healthiness. I’m sharing my recovery story today for the sake of those who can’t yet say the same.
- Double Take: Drunken driving rampant among young adults
- November 12, 2012
- Jordan is not an alcoholic, at least not by the standards we’ve set for formal diagnosis. Jordan is a good student who I suspect will eventually knock back a six-figure salary. However, like a great many young people, Jordan binge drinks in a way that for any other demographic would indicate severe addiction. We have as a society decided to look the other way and now consider this a normal rite of passage — kids being kids.
- Double Take: It’s a dangerous world for teens
- November 5, 2012
- Homicide is the second leading cause of teen deaths in America, accounting for 13 percent of lost lives from age 12 to 19. Though accidents, most of them in automobiles, kill three times as many teens, 13 percent is still a sobering number to consider. For black teens, the rate is even higher.

- October 29, 2012

- Scary story contest yields thrilling results
- October 29, 2012
- This year, when we put out the call for scary stories from students in elementary, middle and high schools, we weren’t disappointed. About 200 writers tried to spook us, and many did.
- Double Take: Be proactive to prevent political disputes at family gatherings
- October 29, 2012
- Dear Dr. Wes and Katie: I am dreading the holidays. All summer my family argued about politics. I was home from college, and I’m more liberal than my family. By Thanksgiving, we’ll know who wins the next election, and either way it’s going to be horrible. My family doesn’t argue about these things in a civil way. They argue like they’re on Fox News, and it always gets personal. Suggestions?
