The US Postal Service delivers people’s mail at a low
cost. It started in 1792. In those days, people could only
send letters. In 1913, the USPS started its Parcel Post
service. That allowed people to send and receive packages.
The rules about the packages weren’t very clear, though.

Many doctors are noticing something strange. More
and more female teenagers with strange tics are coming to
see them. The tics seem like those in people with Tourette
syndrome. However, Tourette’s is more common in boys,
and each person with Tourette’s has unique tics. In the new
cases, the young women had similar tics, and some even had
the same tics. This puzzled the doctors, but they soon found
the cause. The young women were copying the tics of
people with Tourette’s on TikTok. They didn’t know they
were doing that. It was their way of dealing with stress from
COVID-19. To reduce the syndrome, the doctors suggested
they take a break from social media.
