TEEN TROUBLE

EARLY ONE IN FOUR TEENS HAVE STOLEN FROM THEIR PARENTS IN THE PAST YEAR:

Parents . . . you probably LIKE to think that your teenage kids are perfect little angels. But according to a new survey . . . there's a pretty good chance they're NOT.

Listen to this . . .

36% of teens admit they've used the Internet to plagiarize an assignment . . . And 64% admit they've cheated on a test in the past year.

30% of teens . . . or nearly ONE in THREE . . . admit they've shoplifted something from a store in the past year.

ONE in FIVE teens have stolen from a friend in the past year, and 23% . . . or nearly ONE in FOUR teens . . . have stolen from a parent or family member in the past year.

But even after hearing all this, 93% of the teens still say they're satisfied with their personal ethics and character . . . and 77% think that, "when it comes to doing what's right, I'm better than most people I know." (Yahoo News)
