According to the data, 42 per cent of young people aged 15-19 are at high risk of alcohol addiction. Young people's biggest fears are being the victim of teasing and negative reactions. Family and friends are key to support and security. Physical aggression, cyberbullying, domestic violence and sexual harassment are among the most common forms of violence experienced by young people, according to the survey.
