About one-third of Australian adolescents have considered self-harm, with girls more likely than boys to report incidents and thoughts of self-harm. The findings come from the 'Growing Up in Australia: The Longitudinal Study of Australian Children' report, a survey of children when they were aged 14-15 and 16-17. The study found that thirty per cent of respondents had considered non-suicidal self-harm between the ages of 14 and 17, while 18 per cent reported acts of self-harm. Report co-author, Pilar Rioseco, says the findings are concerning, especially in light of signs of worsening mental health in the coronavirus pandemic. Study found that thirty per cent of respondents had considered non-suicidal self-harm between the ages of 14 and 17, while 18 per cent reported acts of self-harm (stock image) 'Ultimately, self-injury thoughts and behaviours need to be seen for what they are - a response to mounting stress and a way of relieving emotional pain,' Dr Rioseco said. ...

An influencer who shot to fame by posting memes has been accused of wasting millions of dollars that were raised to help Afghan refugees flee from the Taliban on flights that never materialized.   Instagram star 'Quentin Quarantino' - aka 26-year-old Tommy Marcus - helped raise $7.2 million to fund evacuation flights out of Kabul but has failed to charter a single flight with the donations, according to a report.  An investigation by the Washington Post revealed that the mission dubbed Operation Flyaway has so far spent just $545,000 of the money it raised to help charter a flight with the expertise of a non-profit that successfully evacuated at-risk people from Afghanistan.  Almost half of the funds - $3.3 million - raised by the influencer's followers - has been lost on flights that were booked, only to be canceled and not refunded. Meanwhile, a staggering $2.84 million was given to ex-con who is currently under investigation by federal authorities for wire fraud and iden...

Amid the groaning sound of the alarm warning of a broken-down car, the operator asks: 'Is everything crashing? My cameras are gone.' This isn't the time for an entire system malfunction. An HGV has struck a bridge on the M1, there is a lorry on fire on the A14 and vital signals are needed on smart motorway sections of the M25 and M4. 'We've got no signals, you're all going to die… whichever god you believe in, start praying now,' says the jester of the room, a young man who has tied up his shoulder-length auburn hair. This doesn't feel like a laughing matter. The head of technology strolls through in a polo shirt and jeans, telling us he's trying to reset the system between bites of his apple. I am less than two hours into my first shift as a traffic operator at National Highways' largest control centre and I am shocked as I watch the antiquated computers grind to a halt for more than 30 minutes. I stick to 50mph on the M25 on my way home. A co...

It's a scenario most parents will recognise: relaxing with a nice glass of wine after homeschooling the kids during lockdown. But for best friends Martin Stead and Toby Radcliffe, both from London, it sparked a business idea they were passionate about - selling sustainable wines from independent vineyards. The entrepreneurs, who met when they were 18, had been looking for a way to work together, and soft-launched the Collectivino delivery service, which has net zero carbon impact, in July this year. Martin Stead, left, and Toby Radcliffe discussed the idea while chatting over Zoom drinks Martin, 44, said: 'One day in 2020 while enjoying a glass of red together over a lockdown Zoom call, Toby and I realised there were two issues for wine enthusiasts like us. 'It often seemed like potluck as to whether we'd choose an outstanding, average or downright disappointing wine, and it was way too difficult to work out and minimise the environmental impact of the wines we were cho...

A University of Utah football was shot dead at a house party Saturday - nine months after his best friend who studied at the same college died in an accidental shooting.  Sophomore cornerback Aaron Lowe, 21, was killed in Salt Lake City after midnight, a few hours after his team the Utes beat Washington State 24-13. The killing is said to have happened at a property in Sugarland, and was triggered by uninvited guests being asked to leave the party. Cops are treating it as a homicide.  Tragically, Lowe was the first recipient of a memorial scholarship that was created in honor of his friend and former teammate Ty Jordan, 19.  Jordan was a University of Utah football star who accidentally shot and killed himself on Christmas Day 2020. A second victim in the shooting, a woman, is in critical condition and police are searching for a suspect. Lowe and Jordan were best friends at West Mesquite High School in Texas. And Lowe had sought to pay tribute to Jordan by switching his team number fro...
