During the 12 months preceding the survey, 22.8% male freshmen had felt so sad or hopeless almost every day for 2weeks in a row that they stopped doing some usually activities and there were no significant difference between freshmen and senior students. Male student in grades 2, 3 and 4(89%) were significantly more likely than freshmen(42%) to have ever tried cigarette smoking. Almost male students had had ≥ 1 drinks of alcohol during their lifetime(lifetime alcohol use) and almost mal freshmen(96%) and senior student(95%) had 1 drinks of alcohol on ≥ 1 of the 30 days preceding t survey(current alcohol use).
