For both boys and girls, there have been longer-term increases in a sense of distrust. About one in six students felt that most people in their neighbourhood would try to take advantage of them if they had the chance, and the percentage of students who felt distrust towards others increased between 2002 and 2014. Regardless of grade, boys consistently reported lower levels of friend support than girls and lower levels of involvement in community activities and groups, and they were less likely to say they were involved in volunteer work or arts groups.
