'GIRLS ARE WILDER'.GIRLS are now likelier than boys to drink, take drugs and have sex early, a report reveals. But modern teenagers are still better behaved than their parents 20 years ago. The study, which looked at 14 and 15-year-olds last year, said: "Twenty years TWENTY YEARS. The lapse of twenty years raises a presumption of certain facts, and after such a time, the party against whom the presumption has been raised, will be required to prove a negative to establish his rights. 2. ago boys drugged, drank, smoked, truanted, stole, and fought more than girls. Today it's different. "Girls now significantly smoke and binge-drink more than boys. But the good and perhaps unexpected news is that the 2005 youngsters have less problematic behaviour than in 1985." |
