TEEN SURVEY

TEEN SURVEY
Risky behavior
Researchers compared teens who reported at least half their friends are sexually active with those who said none of their friends are. About one in four teens reported at least half their friends are sexually active; about four in 10 said none are. The study found that the first group is:
More likely to have tried alcohol, 66 percent vs. 10 percent of those whose friends don't have sex.
More likely to have gotten drunk at least once in the past month, 31 percent vs. 1 percent.
More likely to have tried marijuana, 45 percent vs. 2 percent.
More likely to have tried cigarettes, 45 percent vs. 8 percent.
