I saw this and immediately thought that this isn't the order I would have put my own concerns in. I know the concerns are different for everyone but was wondering how other people would order this list. What would your top 3 be?
"Here are their top 10 concerns and the percentage of participants rating each concern as a "big problem." Participants could use the "big problem" rating more than once."
1. Smoking: 40%
2. Teen drug abuse: 39%
3. Childhood obesity: 34%
4. Teen alcohol abuse: 33%
5. Driving accidents: 29%
6. Teen pregnancy: 28%
7. Internet safety: 26%
8. School violence: 24%
9. Sexually transmitted infection: 24%
10. Abuse and neglect: 22%

My top 3 are alcohol abuse, drug abuse and internet safety. Thought internet safety would actually be a lot higher considering the amount of teens using the internet and the frightening statistics I have read on the NetSmartz411 site about internet predators contacting and meeting teens. Everything in the list concerns me, I just thought the order would be different, but again, that is just me.
