Dr. Youngmin Sin studied 700 American high school students in grades 10 to 12 of Hispanic, European, Asian or African ethnicity. He and his colleagues found that European- and Asian-American teens experienced the most disruptive effects in terms of academic performance, behaviors, and psychological well-being. Hispanic- and African-American teenagers did not encounter as many problems because they are already facing so many disadvantages, Dr. Sin concluded.
