Top 5 teen problems today:
1: Cigarette smoking
Nearly 2/3 of young New Zealanders aged 14-17 have tried smoking cigarettes.
2: Bullying
As many as 70% of all young people have been bullied of some form.
3. Shoplifting
25% of New Zealand teenagers have tried shoplifting and 55% are adults but those adults started in there youth.
4. Obesity
As of 2004 30% of New Zealand teenagers are obese
5. Bulimia and Anorexia
17% of teenagers are suffering from an eating disorder which makes 68,000 kids will suffer from these disorders once in their lives.
My opinion: I was extremely shocked and kinda disappointed that the percentages were so high, I certainly didn't expect the results I got. I thought the results would be half the percentage they were.
