Teen sexting often tied to past sexual abuse Teens who share sexually explicit texts or emails — "sexters" — are more likely to have suffered sexual abuse than their peers, new survey results suggest.

Two behaviors linked to dropout rates in high school A study published in the Journal of School Health examines how two behaviors - aggression and poor study skills - may be a factor in why some students do not finish high school. Students who were identified in the high-aggression/low-study-skills group had a 50% dropout rate compared to students with low aggression and high study skills who had a dropout rate of less than 2%. The results highlight the importance of early interventions that combine academic enhancement and behavioral management (Ed Note: like relationship skills) for reducing school dropout rates.
