12 girls from the same High school in New York are diagnosed with tourettes.

Doctors are saying that it's not caused by something enviromental, and that it is more likely stress related. That's absurd 12 girls just start to have the same problem from stress at the same time. What does anyone else think.

Even though they all essentially have the same stress issues in their lives, this is a very strange occurence. I'd like to see what medical knowledge is gained from this phenomenon.

[2Bree]

That is weird! It has to be another cause other than stress.

[5Ashley]

I want to know the cause of the 12 diagnosises. That's so crazy that this happened to 12 girls from the exact same high school.

Thats weird. There has to be some cause from the school if 12 girls are getting tourettes all at the same time.

That is strange. I've watched the true life series of "I have Tourettes" and it seems like it is a very serious issue. It would suck not being able to know the cause even if they say it is stress related.

Either they've gotten stressed to a point beyond belief or they're faking it. It'd be fairly difficult to fake something like that but perhaps all the girls are aspiring actresses.

thats wierd. i wonder how that happened.

[5Alex]

That's really weird. All girls, all from the same school, all get tourettes at the same time? There has to be a reason for something like that.

Thats crazy! i have never heard of that happening. It has to be something with school. Could be stess or it could be anything in that category. If i were those girls i would want some answers right away!

I saw an interview with one of the girls this morning on The Today Show. The doctors don't even know what could be the cause.  I would be very mad if I couldn't get answers.
