Courtesy Elena and Vanessa RobustelliPayne’s death came as a shock to thousands of One Direction fans, known as Directioners, who did not expect to lose their idol at such a young age. It’s just shocking, and I cried a little bit last night because I was sad for my teenage self.”Olivia Hagans, top center, said she met her best friends through the One Direction community. Some Directioners compared Payne’s death to the death of John Lennon for Beatles fans, citing the similarities between the fervor around the bands and the intense support from their supporters. Logan Hill, 27, said the community of fans was “the most important thing” that came from the band’s existence. Directioners used to use the platform to interact with the band, get it trending online and organize as fans.

CNN —Editor’s Note: One Small Thing is a new series to help you take a simple step toward a healthy, impactful goal. But a little more investment in your community may make a big difference, said Dr. Gail Saltz, clinical associate professor of psychiatry at the NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital. One in 5 adults in the United States reported feeling loneliness “a lot of the day yesterday,” according to Gallup data released Tuesday. Building back deeper, more intimate connections may feel hard to do quickly to address your loneliness, but turning your attention to invest in your community may be one small thing you can do to help, Saltz said. Even small daily interactions with strangers in a coffee shop can help boost your mood when you're feeling lonely.

The questionnaires, known as client intake forms, give rare insight into the practices of Sage and other crisis pregnancy centers and how they use ambiguous language to describe their services. These practices are typical for crisis pregnancy centers across the country, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. The tactics used at crisis pregnancy centers often create delays that leave women unable to access abortions, forcing them to continue their pregnancies. Most crisis pregnancy centers in the United States are affiliated with either Heartbeat International or Care Net, another anti-abortion network.
