Fairy tales linked to violent relationships
Fri Apr 22,11:55 AM ET
LONDON (AFP) – Young girls who enjoy classic romantic fairy tales like “Cinderella” and “Beauty and the Beast” are at greater risk of becoming victims of violent relationships in later life, a British researcher says.

A study of both parents of primary school children and women who have been involved in domestic abuse claims than those who grew up reading fairy tales are likely to be more submissive as adults.
Susan Darker-Smith, a graduate student who wrote the academic paper, said she found many abuse victims identified with characters in famous children’s literature and claimed the stories provide “templates” of dominated women.
A more senior academic at the University of Derby said the topic was sure to spark debate but merited further research.
“They believe if their love is strong enough they can change their partner’s behaviour,” Darker-Smith said. “Girls who have listened to such stories as children tend to become more submissive in their future relationships.”
The research, conducted in Leicester in the east of England, is to be presented to the International Congress of Cognitive Therapy in Gothenburg, Sweden, next month.
Her study, entitled “The Tales We Tell Our Children: Overconditioning of Girls to Expect Partners to Change”, will be discussed by many of the world’s most influential therapists.
Darker-Smith said she believed younger generations exposed to television and other entertainment media may react differently and be less submissive than those weaned solely on literature.
Her work found the most popular bedtime stories for girls were “Cinderella” and “Rapunzel”, while boys were more likely to hanker for “Paddington Bear” or “Thomas the Tank Engine”.
Darker-Smith, a masters student in cognitive behavioural psychotherapy at the University of Derby, will also submit other abstracts to the conference, examining ideas about anorexia and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Michael Townend, senior lecturer in psychotherapy at the university said: “We know that storytelling is an important way that children form beliefs about themselves and relationships.”
“Susan’s work is an interesting study which is sure to spark debate, but further research is required in this area.”
Further Study???
perhaps its time for researching why people
do this kinda research?
“Man assumed that he was more intelligent than Dolphins because he had achieved so much: the wheel; flight: wars: and so on, whilst all the Dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the Dolphins believed that they were more intelligent than Man for precisely the same reasons” -unknown

To yourself, say the name of the onnly guy or girl you wanna be with 3 times!
**************************************
2. Think of something you wanna accompish within the next week and say it to yourself 6 times!!
**************************************
3. If you had 1 wish what would it be? say it to yourself 9 times!!!
**************************************
4. Think of something that you want to happen beween you and that 1 special person and say it to yourself 12 times!!!
**************************************
5. Now, heres the hard part! Pick only 1 of these wishes and as you scroll down focus and concentrate on it and think on nothing else but that wish.
**
**
**
**
**
**
**
**
**
**
**
**
**
Now make one last & final wish about that one wish that you picked.
After reading this, you have 1 hour to send it out to 15 people, and what you wished for will come true within in one week!
u only get one chance!!! Now scroll down and think of your crush!!!
Keep going down
Keep going
Keep going
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did you tyhink of your crush? I hope so, that was your last chance, Now pay very close attention this important message! sorry but once read, must be send. Yes, this is one of those kinda chain letters that everyone hates. This one has been going since 1863 and if you break this chain, you will pay!!!! Remember that after hearing these stories.
First Example:
Take Barbra Wallace..She was a pretty lucky girl, up till she got this same chain letter. She had a crush on the same kid since kindergarden. when she got this mail she didn’t pay any attention to it. She jsut thought, no big deal. And deleted it. The next day her dad got fired and her mom dies in a car crash. If she would have sent the letter none of that would have happend and her mom would be alive.
Second Example:
Try Freddie D. Now Freddie D. was your average nerd. Had glasses, was short and chubby, was in gifted. All the signs of your total dork. He also received this letter and sent it to 51 people in the hour. Now, like Barbra, he had a crush on a girl since 3rd grade. The next day after sending the chain the girl confessed her love for him ever since 3rd grade. Freddie D. finally had the couage to ask her out, and of course, she had been waiting to yes to that foe years. They grew up and married each other to live happily forever.
Third example:
Now if you couldn’t relate to others, this’ll get ya hooked. Listen to this. A kid named Jordan Johnson was just getting on AOL to check his mail. He was a quiet kid, not that popular but not a geek either. he was just normal. He saw he had mail from his friend. It was this exact letter. Now Jordan Johnson was a smart kid and he knew what could happen if he didn’t pass it on. He simply pulled a few friends from his buddy list and sent it along. The next day. about that same time. he got a phone call. It said he had won the lottery! then his dad came home and bought him a new bike! His mom bought him Nintendo64 and play station! His grandmother sent him a new computer, and his best friend gave him tickets to the convert he wanted to go to, Kid Rock and Limp Bizkit! Then he inherited a brand-new tv from his aunt! He was goin` wild! the next day his sevret crush asked him out, and they have been going out ever since.
Now, you heard the stories. I know which person i’d rather be, but thats up to you. I know which person i’d rather be, but thats up to you. I woudn’t wanna end up like Barbra but thats only me. We all want what we cant have but now’s ur chance to go out with that special sombody ur waiting for. Take it or leave it. If you send this to
1 person- you will lose all luck in ur love life…forever!!!
10 people- your crush will say they like you as a friend…ONLY!!!
15 people- your crush will say they like you
20 people- your crush will ask you out!
25 people- your crush will kiss you!!
35 people or more- All of the above!!
Don’t blow it, it’s ur chance to shine! Have everything u wanted, and more! Now. complaining cus u don’t have any friends. Well theres an answer 4 everything It’s simple, just go in a chat room, pick some names and send away! but here’s the catch….you only have one hour to send it after being read. {;ease pass this to everyone u know and keep it going! I didn’t write this, so don’t look at me. I was just doing everybody a favor and passing it on. Now you do the same
Honestly, I think I just gave up on having my Knight in Shining Armor show up just a couple of years ago…*gag*
Oh, no…I wouldn’t say those fairy tales influenced me…but I’d be lying. I think it’s rather interesting…
blah
Love you…GFW
The Dolphin quote is from the Douglas Adams 4 book trilogy “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the galaxy”. I’m pretty sure the specific book was “So Long and Thanks for all the Fish.”
Well … it makes me glad that my parents didn’t raise me to believe in such things. Fairytales … are just another form of getting lost in illusion … and I can see how young girls can see this as a prototype for future relationships.
As for the new Pope … hearing all this stuff reminds me (once again … for I think I commented about this before) of my college Biology professor. He showed us pictures (though I question the authenticity) of the now deceased Pope as a young man in Hitler’s Nazi regime. Along with that his procolamation of the pharmaceutical industry being run by Nazis. But … now I can’t wait to see what happens with this new figurehead … I sense more of the same old BS though!
Hope you are well!:sunny:
IM JUST KIDDING!!
I have ever heard this kind of story as to say “Cinderella syndrome”..I very cuerius to hear this first time, and I understand what is most problem in this charactor …perhaps Cinderella story bring up egoistic charactor…and why it become violence is …domestic violence have peculiarity act in only family and couple and lover..this is particulaly complicate problem…in the other hand, same case of boy and man world to say “Perter Pan syndrome.” both name made from american sycho doctor wrote book..I read both few long time ago…/N *
Hehehe wink

We have no end of ”scare studies” here, they are often by people desperate for a MA degree or doctors desperate to break into the media. Slippers will make you lame, yoghourt will cause cancer and children who love roundabouts will in later life suffer from dizziness. Read the above one, it is of course as we say “utter ballocks”.
I find it interesting the the present pope “the singing rat” was in the Hitler Youth, but I doubt the Hitler Youth was as right-wing and arrogant as he is now.
whur r u d ? b
Hi Dos.
this photo of th Pompus reminds me to eat my liver i am having some tonite luv D magi
i think the reason WHY women who grow up on fairy tales are abused is because they get into that crap & then nag the fuck out of their better half, who THEN has to beat some sense into them:lol:
hey D thoes alligators are cute but could we have somethin’ to read pleeze thanx magi
Ola Mr.S
Seriously and sincerely (remember?), people have too much time on their hands. Is it that we have nothing else worthwhile to research. It’s just like the urinology thing (drink your…..)(didn’t mean to gross you out). About the pope, we always have a choice, right?
