"There are some 1.8 billion adolescents (those aged 10-24 years) in the world today, comprising more than a quarter of the world's population. However, the first paper in The Lancet Series on Adolescent Health says that the health status of this age group has improved far less than that of children aged under 10 years in the past 50 years. Indeed, evidence suggests that adolescence is not the healthiest time in life, as is often assumed. With longer periods in education, and significant delays to marriage or settling down, the period during which young people are exposed to the risks of adolescence has extended significantly. Such behaviours include harmful alcohol consumption and illicit drug use with peers, and sex with more casual partners, increasing the risk of sexually transmitted infections."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
