American teens lie, steal, cheat at 'alarming' rates: study

http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id ... _article=1

An overwhelming majority, 83 percent, of public school and private religious school students admitted to lying to their parents about something significant, compared to 78 percent for those attending independent non-religious schools.

..Some 93 percent of students indicated satisfaction with their own character and ethics, with 77 percent saying that "when it comes to doing what is right, I am better than most people I know."

"when it comes to doing what is right, I am better than most people I know."

But isn't that how most of us feel?

I didn't need a study to tell me that!

Does that mean that more are honest about lying or that more are lying

haha.. You sure didn't need this study, eh?

It was probably commissioned by the Govt at a tune of millions of dollars when they could have just asked the teachers... and then gave all a fat raise instead, eh?

Daryl I was thinking the same about thier honesty.
I remember when I was in school There were a study about teens drinking in which I believe alot of them was dishonest then to make themsevles fit in with those who did drink. in which gave a high percent in the study. Not to say this is the case here, but just thinking.

Quit judging. So what if they lie, steal, and cheat. You shouldn't judge.
