Study Shows WI Teen Girls Struggling

A new study says more than 60-percent of Wisconsin girls in high school feel anxious.

Wisconsin’s Office of Children’s Mental Health released the numbers yesterday. The study says 66-percent of high school girls feel anxious, while 50-percent feel sad and hopeless nearly every day, and nearly 33-percent of girls admitted to doing some self harm. The study says 11-percent of high school girls have attempted suicide. Body image issues are huge issues for teenage girls, the study says, but it adds that having friends is one of the best ways for teen girls to get through things.

The anxiety numbers for girls, the study says, are nearly twice that for high school boys.
