(HealthDay)—American teens whose behavior, appearance or lifestyle do not conform to widely held views on what it is to be a "normal" male or female face a high risk for mental distress and drug abuse, new research warns.

The poll enlisted more than 6,000 students enrolled in high schools in three large urban school districts across California and Florida.
