Gay Teens Are More at Risk, Study Says

Homosexual and bisexual high school students are more likely to engage in risky sexual and drug-related activity than their heterosexual peers, according to a study. They are also more likely to have attempted suicide than their peers, according to the report by Harvard Medical School, the Massachusetts Department of Education and Wake Forest University. The findings were based on a review of a 1995 government survey of more than 4,000 youngsters in the ninth through 12th grades, of whom 104 males and females said they were homosexual or bisexual.
