High School Students Are Cheating, Lying, and Stealing Less Than They Used To

 

According to a new survey of high school students, kids today are nowhere near as dishonest as they used to be.

  

--Every two years, the Josephson Center for Youth Ethics releases the Report Card on the Ethics of American Youth.        

  

--According to this year's report card, kids today are more honest compared to the 2010 report card.  (--Of course, they could be lying on the survey.)

  

--51% of high schoolers admit that they've cheated . . . which is a drop of 8% from two years ago.  

  

--55% say they've lied to someone . . . which is down 6% from 2010. 

  

--And 20% have stolen something . . . a drop of 7%.
