High-school grades linked to healthy, unhealthy behaviors

Students who make mostly A’s are nearly 2.5 times more likely to eat breakfast every day than students who make mostly D’s/F’s. They are also more likely to be physically active. On the flip side, students who make mostly D’s/F’s are more likely to watch too much TV, drink, smoke pot, and have sex. They are nearly four times more likely to attempt suicide than A students.

What is also striking is the clear gradient that occurs for each behavior: A students make better choices than B students, B students make better choices than C students, and C students make better choices than D/F students.
