Teen girls coping with drugs, alcohol, sexting

(CNN) – If you have teenagers, the list of things to worry about seems to grow longer every day. It can be even more stressful if you have a teenage daughter.

Research shows more girls than ever are taking anti-depressants, using alcohol and even drinking and driving. Technology is adding new problems with things like Internet bullying and sexting.

Dr. Leonard Sax has a new book on all of this, “Girls on the Edge.” Our Kiran Chetry had the chance to talk with him and ask, “Why are so many teenage girls in such trouble?”
