A new national survey finds that almost 27 percent of girls aged 12 to 17 were involved in serious fights or attacks on other girls within the previous year.
Results from the 2006-2008 National Survey on Drug Use and Health survey showed 19 % of the girls got into a serious fight at school, 4 % were part of fights invo...lving groups and 6 % attacked others with an intention to seriously hurt them. In total, 26.7 % of the girls surveyed fell into at least one of those groups!
The girls least likely to get involved in the violent behavior are:
those from families with higher incomes or
those who achieved higher grades or
those who don't use drugs or alcohol.
Substance abuse prevention reduces teen violence!
