The study found kids who took part in voluntary work were 34%more likely to be in very good physical health than those who didn't.And those who volunteered were 66%more likely to be considered to do well in general.Kids aged 12 and older who volunteered were 25%less likely to have pressure than those who didn't.The findings come from information provided by the parents of some 50,000 kids in the United States aged between 6 and 17.About half of those parents reported that their kids did voluntary work.
