Roma Pal and Dr. Tasneem Naqvi were used. The tests were conducted in a series of sessions. In total 150 students were tested, out of which 75 boys and 75 girls participated. The results gave a complete view of how aggression in youth affects their academic performance. Results revealed how abuse, alcohol, drug use, gangs, bullying and violent media place kids at risk for becoming a perpetrator or victim of violence.
