A 15-year-old called Steven Ortiz traded his old cellphone for a newer one. Then, he traded that for an iPod Touch. That's when things took off. He traded those for a series of dirt bikes, which he turned into a Mac-book Pro. And so on and so forth he traded up in life. At some point, he traded a car for a 1975 Ford Bronco. The car was a collector's item worth $15,000, which he eventually turned into a 2000 Porsche Boxter S. The kid got so much attention and he's gotten a lot of requests from people who want him to trade an old phone for a car.

When anyone is depressed all he or she sees is the negative side for any story or event they hear about but there is something called "Depressive Realism" that means that a depressed person have a better sense of reality than most people. However, this phenomenon is limited to those with what is considered moderate depression. Psychologists Alloy and Abramson did studies in the 1970’s and 80’s in which they concluded that those who are somewhat depressed better understand their actual importance, reputation, locus of control, and abilities than those who are considered happy. However, all studies still highlight that it is better to be happy than intentionally be depressed to better understand things.

Men and women generally get angry at the same rate of speed. The most important part of any argument is the post-argument phase when everyone tries to settle down. The nervous system is the one responsible for calming us after an intensive argument but settling down can happen at different speed for both women and men. Scientifically speaking men cool down pretty quickly while women needs a little extra time. Her body remains in an agitated state even after resolution to the argument. While still in the agitated state, her brain in still angry and casts blame on other things. The argument then flares up again about a new subject. So, the best thing for a man to do is to change the subject to something more light heated once things wind down in the argument to help her chill out. As for women, they have to realize what is going on inside of them and give themselves a chance to shake it off.
