The rate for teenagers who stay on the wagon after treating their addiction at a treatment facility alone is less than 10 percent. Three Strikes Policy But not every student attending the school manages to stay clear of drugs and alcohol. An average of seven students a year fall back into addiction, and they are not coddled.

The results of this small experimental study found that children who watched nine minutes of a fast paced cartoon had decreased their executive functioning compared to children who participated in nine minutes of drawing or watching educational programs. Connecting fast paced television viewing to losses in cognitive ability has profound significance for children’s social and learning development.
Over 60% of students had cheated in the past month, which is fairly recent, and a staggering 83% had cheated in the past quarter. This showed us that cheating is an on going problem that almost certainly happens daily in Perry Hall High.

There was a study released in 2011 that stated that children from low-income families were approximately 40% more likely to

During the past four years that 94% of the homicides that occurred in fog city were young people over the age of 25 and were high school dropouts. Students can control many issues in their lives so that they can improve their attendance.

A study done in Britian shows that at least half of suicides are related to bullying. A report done by ABC News said that 160,000 students stay home each day just to avoid being bullied.
