Weapons fears for 'unsafe' teens
Published: 01 September, 2007
One in five young teenagers say that their friends are carrying knives and weapons, says a major annual survey of schoolchildren's health and wellbeing. These weapons are carried by worried boys for "protection", say youngsters - and researchers link this to increased affluence among teenagers. This portrait of teenage life, based on a survey of 70,000 youngsters, shows considerable fears of bullying. Getting drunk is also a habit for a quarter of 14 to 15 year old girls. This survey from the Schools Health Education Unit has been examining the lifestyles of young people since the mid- 1980s. Related articles:
