It was presented by Michelina Mancuso, Executive Director of Performance Measurement with the New Brunswick Health Council.
The report states 13 per cent of young people in the province have low levels of mental fitness. More than 80 per cent say they feel respected when at school which may sound like a good figure but Mancuso points out 20 per cent of 40 thousand students provincewide do not and that's a large number.
She's also not a fan of zero tolerance policies saying they don't work.
According to the report, only 25 per cent of students eat their daily requirement of fruits and veggies, only 40 per cent eat breakfast, 60 per cent don't get enough physical activity, 26 per cent of teens in the Saint John region get drunk on a regular basis and 20 per cent have gotten into a car with a driver who has been impaired.
