Teenagers who drink alcohol（酒精）are at higher risk of becoming victims of violence， a Cardiff University study has found.

A team from the School of Dentistry’s Violence Research Group studied drinking habits in children aged 11-16 in England. They found not only a link between drink and violence but also that children who drank were more likely to be hit， even if they weren’t violent themselves.

The researchers are now calling for measures to prevent alcohol misuse to reduce injury risk. Now policy pays the most attention to reducing aggression， but this research shows that there should be equal effort to reduce victimization.

More than 4，000 children were questioned at 13 schools in the North， the Midlands， London and the South. The study found that 25% of 11-year-olds were drinking monthly and 3.6% daily， with 12.8% admitting to getting drunk 3 to 5 times a year. By the age of 16， 40% were drinking weekly and 6.2% were drinking every day. The research also showed 22.6% of 16-year-olds were getting drunk more than 21 times a year. The study， which has just been published in the Journal of Adolescence， found a strong link between frequency of drinking and frequency of hitting other people.

However， children who reported drinking monthly were also three times more likely to be hit. Adolescents who drank but didn’t get into fights were more likely to be hit than those who did fight.

Professor Jonathan Shepherd， who led the research， said a lot of alcohol-related violence work before had paid the most attention to the attackers rather than the victims. He said， “This new study seems to be the first to show a direct link between alcohol misuse and victimization. There now needs to be much more effort put into reducing alcohol misuse in order to reduce injuries.”

Why don’t you act the black? Since my middle school years， I’ve been puzzled by this 1 more than any other. It seems to me that too many people have 2 what should be expected of me， a black person， before knowing of me. 3 I believe in being who I am， and I don’t care who others want me to be.

On my first day of high school， going into a maths class， two 4 pointed and laughed at me. I 5 my tie was open， or that something was stuck in my teeth.

A maths class had simply been joined by a student whose skin was not white.

I am now in my junior year of high school. I still take all courses I like. When it comes to 14 my friends， I am still colorblind. I 15 to do my best to work in school in order to reach my 16 and yet， when I look in the 17 ， I still see skin of that same shade of brown.
