Each of the other colored bars, red, green, and yellow, tell you the percentage of children in each age group with respect to whom a particular issue was chosen by poll respondents as among their "top 3" parenting issues. (Age groups are: preteen, ages 10-12; teen, ages 13-20; or "both" for participants who are parenting both teen and preteen-age children.)
