Teens School Their Parents
(Filed under: Numbers)36% of high school seniors smoked in 1975.
16% of high school seniors smoked in 2004.
20 - Babies born per 1,000 teens in 1992.
11 - Babies born per 1,000 teens in 2004.
37% of high school seniors engaged in binge drinking in 1975.
29% of high school seniors engaged in binge drinking in 2004.
31 - Violent criminal offenders per 1,000 teens in 1973.
8 - Violent criminal offenders per 1,000 teens in 2003.
In case you're not catching the trend, teens today doing better than their parents. Way to go. But there is a downside:
5% of children were obese in 1975.
16% of children were obese in 2003.
17% of children lived in single-parent households in 1975.
28% of children lived in single-parent households in 2003.
Of course neither of these are a direct result of a single decision by teens (the second set of numbers also seems to include all kids, not just teens). But smoking, drinking, sex and violent crime are definitely choices in your hands. Good to see more and more teens are making the smart choices.
