AP-MTV Poll: Stress divides young Americans along gender lines
Part 4 of a series.NEW YORK (AP) — Stressed out by your high-pressured job? Don’t assume your kid is any less stressed out by school. Especially if she’s a she.Young people experience stress at a high rate, and females more than males, an extensive Associated Press/MTV survey shows. A similar divide exists in terms of fears and safety: Girls and young women are less likely to feel safe in their neighborhoods, in schools, or from terror attacks.The source of stress changes as we get older, the survey shows. Among 13-17 year olds, school is by far the most commonly mentioned source. Among 18-24 year olds, it’s jobs and financial matters. In all, fully 85 percent of young people said they felt stress at least sometimes."I’m a pretty high-stressed person," says Katie Duda, 21, who’s finishing up a degree in culinary arts and awaiting the birth of her first child in a few weeks.
Lunchtime tradition ceases in Burl. City
BURLINGTON CITY � Some students at Burlington City High School are accustomed to leaving school grounds during lunch period to head home or to a fast food restaurant. But this year, the school district has decided to keep all students confined to the cafeteria. Business Administrator Craig Wilkie said the decision was made after the state Supreme Court ruled in June that schools could be held responsible for student safety after students leave school grounds. The case, Jerkins v. Anderson, involved a third-grader from Pleasantville, Atlantic County. In 2001, an elementary school dismissed its students early at 1:30 p.m. The third-grader, Joseph Jerkins, left school unattended and several hours later was hit by a car and paralyzed. The student and his parents filed a complaint against the Pleasantville Board of Education and the school principal.
