Mental health time bomb?
Some stats from www.youthwork.co.uk ...
"Key common factors including drink and drug abuse, sexual promiscuity, self-harm and bullying are leading towards a generation of dysfunctional adults.
- 72% of 14-year-olds have drunk alcohol
- 36% of 15-year-olds have tried cannabis or cocaine
- 32% of 15-year-olds have had sex
- One in four young girls aged 15 have considered suicide or have self-harmed"
Maybe we should look at this issue...?
