American teenagers lie, cheat and steal at "alarmingly" high rates, according to a recent study of 30,000 high-school students.

The Josephson Institute, a Los Angeles-based center for ethics, found that 64 percent of respondent teens were sure they had cheated on a test over the past year, while 42 percent copped to lying about something important, and 30 percent to stealing from a store.

"This doesn't bode well for the future when these youngsters become the next generation's politicians and parents, cops and corporate executives, and journalists and generals," the survey's authors concluded.

While this could mean today's teens are even more dishonest than those in the past, we prefer to think previous generations were simply more dishonest when polled about their dishonesty.
