Early memory lasts for life

It is not easy to get rid of bad memories from people’s childhood. In addition, it actually affects people to have weaker immune systems so that the average life spans are shortened. This fact claim is supported by a scientific evidence from Tulane University in New Orleans. Emily Harville, the research team leader, finds that unhappy memories of youth take huge place in each individual’s brain so that those can be remained as traumas. Moreover, the bad memories from youth cause women to smoke a lot and make them unstable. Harville conducted a survey of 4865 middle-aged women. She states that all subjects in her survey has some kinds of bad memories such as family violence or economic problems from youth. All subjects from the survey revealed that they could not live freshly. Ohio State University research team even comes out with specific result of childhood bad memories. They claim that the life spans will be shorten seven to fifteen years when people have unhappy memories. The idea of long-lasting early memory is familiar to most people. Therefore, it is not an extreme claim to me.
