In addition, some deviant behaviors lead to serious consequences not only for the students themselves but also for those around them, such as: Drinking alcohol and then driving; Substance use; Using motorbikes and electric scooters without wearing helmets also practiced by a large number of high school students. Male students have higher standard deviation behavior than female students. Educational measures and disciplinary forms for students' deviant behaviors are not appropriate.
