(KSL News) A new survey on the ethics of teenagers has turned up some findings that will give you pause.

The Josephson Institute's 2008 Report Card on Ethics of American Youth is based on a survey of 30,000 students in U.S. high schools. They were asked questions about cheating, stealing and lying. A surprising number of students admitted to taking part in one or more of those activities.
