Gardaí had to be called to remove drunken teenagers from an Easter break disco in Cork City, writes Catherine Shanahan and Eoin English.

Irish teenagers are among the least able to talk to their parents about things that interest or bother them and many feel they do not have high levels of family support.

The last of five teenagers accused of raping an 18-year-old woman in a Brooklyn playground last week has been taken into custody.

A search is underway for three teenagers who have escaped from Oberstown detention centre.

A teenage boy pointed an imitation handgun at shop workers while another teen stole €30 worth of sweets.

After finding that teenage girls spend as much as 19 hours a day sitting or lying down, University of Limerick researchers are now studying whether this inactivity can lead to heart problems.
