Answers for "What Are Today's Young People Really Like?" questions:

False: In terms of crime volume, youths and adults contribute roughly equal rates for their respective populations.

False: Teens are very low risk for suicide. Suicide rates for high school-age youths are half those of adults.

False: Teenagers as a whole are one of the groups least likely to abuse drugs, though in recent years we see a slight increase in self-reported, occasional marijuana use by adolescents. Very few teens use harder drugs or indulge frequently.

False: Other factors besides young age contribute to the decision to smoke. For example, youth with parents who smoke are three times as likely to smoke than others.
