Kids are still taking pretty big risks, according to several new studies of youthful behavior from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Teenagers are only using condoms about half the time when they have sex, they're not always wearing seat belts when they drive, more than a third admit to texting while driving and a third are vaping, the CDC's annual survey of teens found.Every two years, the CDC collects data from a nationally representative sample of public and private high school students from grades nine to 12 in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Boys reported a significantly higher number of reports of being threatened or injured with a weapon at school. Nearly 12% said in 2015 they had been threatened; in 2019 it was nearly 16%. The rates of violence have remained pretty much the same during the years 2015 through 2019, with the exception of dating violence, which declined over that time period.To get help, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK .
