Youth provided information on alcohol, tobacco and drug use and their experiences of unwanted sexual activity, unprotected sex and vandalism. 7 out of 10 feel their parents set clear rules to follow. Three-quarters of the students report a positive school experience.
Youth take risk . . .
Use of Illegal Drugs Over a quarter of youth used illegal drugs in the six months prior to the survey. One in ten youth reported being involved in unwanted sexual activity by an older person.
