"26 per cent of the boys surveyed fell in the moderate category and 21 per cent fell in the high category when it came to talks about visiting porn sites, being a common conversation in schools. Among girls, 24 per cent fell in moderate category and five per cent in high category," Chief Psychiatrist, Max Healthcare Dr Samir Parikh, who conducted the survey, said.
The survey conducted among 1000 children (541 boys and 459 girls) from the top public schools in the national capital stated, high population of boys and girls know or visit sites that are not for their age groups.
It also revealed that experimenting with drugs once in a while is common in all schools especially at parties.
While 23 per cent boys agreed that experimenting with drugs was common in parties, 13 per cent of the girls did the same, taking the total to 36 per cent.
"These results seem to indicate that a lot of risky indulgences take place in parties," said Dr Parikh.
Its not just drugs and sleaze that seem to be a favourite among school children but also alcohol.
While 22 per cent of the boys in the moderate category thought having one drink of alcohol at parties is something that everyone does, 16 per cent fell in high category.
"This seems to indicate that a large population, which is more than 60 per cent of students of the total surveyed, consume alcohol," Dr Parikh pointed out.
Smoking within school premises is also frequently done by the children surveyed who belong to the age group of 13-17 years.
"The entire survey was done to understand the though process of the youngsters. It shows that the children are prone to risky behaviour," the doctor added.
