I say yes, maybe, but our elected leaders have set the example.

Don't steal or lie, the government hates competition.

Besides, half of the teens likely lied about how much they lie or cheat.


The biggest, most well organized criminal institution is government.
It is accepted that politicians lie, accept bribes and do or say anything to maintain their power.

wow, reporting something as well known as the behavior of teens goes by as news now?! What's next? The Sun is in the sky! and its Hot! Hot! Hot!

You wouldn't be a teen is you didn't lie, cheat or cheat.  It's what young i'm young and angry at my father type of people do.

Kinda stretching a bit with the elected leaders bit imo....but bash em all you like, i wont complain.

Alternatively, an increase in the number of kids admitting to lying might actually be a sign that kids are becoming more honest.

In previous years kids lied more when questioned.

Teens don't give a fuck shit about the government. Most of them couldn't name five politicians. I personally don't believe that they are getting their cues from the government. The entire moral fabric of society is breaking down. I blame the media (TV, Movies, Music).. and of course the parents. They should be helping to navigate their children around the filth.

This is generally correct...I would say for about 75 - 80% it holds true.

I remember one of the JROTC oaths...

"I will not lie, cheat or steal, nor will I condone those who do."

I guess that cuts support for most of the government. And some military officers for that matter.

1. What high schools were polled?
2. How did they get students to admit to misdemeanors?
3. And the parents have no responsibility, right...

It's called a point of debate.

Posting a link to a news story that is interesting, but without providing a POD, is a suck ass OP.

I found the story interesting, and provided fodder for debate by stating that the government leads by example, and that, imo is the key cause to all our societal ills. Do as I say, not as I do.

Which in turn is messed up. The government's not supposed to be providing a social role model for citizens. People should be taking that responsibility for themselves and their own families.

I'm 17 but I rarely lie and never steal. If the rest of society actually lived by the golden rule we would all be so much better off. Fuck stupid people who think they'll get ahead by lying and stealing.

Cheating I couldn't give a shit about though, our educational system is mostly a joke anyway.

tru dat, i actually never cheated or stole til this year,but then i was like screw it.It's like stealing and cheating hadn't popped into my mind before. All the things ive done are pretty minor, like plagiarizing sex ed reflections(do they expect you to actually waste your time  on those anyway?)

I disagree, there is nothing new about lying cheating politicians.

The problem is parenting, there is a rise in irresponsible parents. They have no time for raising their own kids now. Parents today can barely do the right things for themselves, let alone try and teach a kid right from wrong.

Remember we are in a society of entitlement now, work ethic or personal responsibility is no longer needed or welcome.

zactly. When I was a kid we would go out and mow lawns, rake leaves, and when we had a snow day we would go out and shovel snow. We did this to make money and then afterwards save it for a new bike or something. Now kids look at their shit head social leaching parents and emmulate their behavior. I havent had one fuckin teenager come to my doorbell and ask to do yard chores, they are all off playing xbox or something getting fat and stupid.

I'm pretty sure 99% of the people on this forum pirate. Teenagers have always been those who hate authority and everything that comes with it - how is this alarming in any way? Teens are rebels, end of story
