Students admit same sex attraction.
More than 6 per cent of senior school students are attracted to members of their own sex, a nationwide survey has found. The team surveyed more than 3,500 school students in Years 10 to 12 in 118 schools throughout Australia to find out the prevalence of same sex attraction among teenagers of that age and assess the link between that and binge drinking and drug injection. Only 6 per cent of students refused to take part in the study. Of those surveyed, 6.3 per cent professed to being attracted to people of their own sex or people of both sexes. Another 2.3 per cent said they were not sure of their sexual attraction.
