pandemic, YRBS data have shown that many measures were moving in the wrong direction before the pandemic. These data show the mental health crisis among young people continues," Kathleen Ethier, director of the CDC's Division of Adolescent and School Health, told reporters Monday.In the survey, 17% of teen girls say they were bullied at school, compared to 13% of boys; 20% of girls say they were bullied over social media, nearly double the 11% of boys.
But as of 2021, teen girls are now more likely than boys to have drunk alcohol , used marijuana , used e-cigarettes , or misused prescription opioids . The survey also found disparities among students who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, questioning or another non-heterosexual identity.
