Another 30 percent of high school students report engaging in high-risk behaviors, such as substance use, sex, violence, and even suicide attempts” (DeAngelis 2010). Students who develop confusing feelings and behaviors tend not to succeed in school. If social and emotional learning programs were implemented in schools, children would develop more confidence, become happier, healthier, and overall much more fulfilled students.

When students get involved in these studies, it is ...... middle of paper ...... and they have come a long way since childhood.
