“Results from the 2013 national YRBS
indicated that many high school students are engaged in priority health-risk
behaviors associated with the leading causes of death among persons aged 10–24
years in the United States. During the 30 days before the survey, 41.4% of high
school students nationwide among the 64.7% who drove a car or other vehicle
during the 30 days before the survey had texted or e-mailed while driving,
34.9% had drunk alcohol, and 23.4% had used marijuana. During the 12 months
before the survey, 14.8% had been electronically bullied, 19.6% had been
bullied on school property, and 8.0% had attempted suicide. Many high school
students nationwide are engaged in sexual risk behaviors that contribute to
unintended pregnancies and STIs, including HIV infection. Nearly half (46.8%)
of students had ever had sexual intercourse, 34.0% had had sexual intercourse
during the 3 months before the survey (i.e., currently sexually active), and
15.0% had had sexual intercourse with four or more persons during their life.”
