CB Teen surveyed over 1,000 college-bound students to get to the bottom of some hot issues that affect young people today. If you participated, many thanks. So what did everyone have to say?

When asked:

Do you think it's fair for a college admission officer or a potential employer to look you up on Myspace or FaceBook?

55.64 percent said >> No way! That's a total invasion of my privacy. Applications, résumés and interviews should be sufficient.

44.36 percent said >> Yes. I know if I post something online that it's fair game.

Plagiarism: A piece of writing that has been copied from someone else's words or ideas and is presented as being your own. Based on that definition, have you ever plagiarized anything at all for a school assignment, paper, or exam (remember, this survey is for research purposes, so we won't tell!)?

52.76 percent said >> I never copied someone else's term paper verbatim, but I sometimes use research that I find online so I sound smarter.

37.57 percent said >> Never. I'm careful to attribute every quote or statistic I uses so I'm not accused of plagiarizing.

9.68 percent said >> Yes, but only for subjects that I really hate and don't plan on pursuing. Why shouldn't I focus my energy on subjects that I'm actually good at?!

Which of the following measures do you take to protect yourself from identity theft?

44.76 percent said >> I delete e-mails that ask me to verify my contact information if I'm not totally sure they're legit.

36.90 percent said >> I frequently change online passwords and am sure not to use anything too obvious.

7.02 percent said >> I never use my real name in chat rooms or online gaming portals.

6.71 percent said >> I set my online profiles to private so only invited people can view them.

4.61 percent said >> I shred credit card applications and other mail that includes my personal information.

Would you ever enter a beauty pageant to win scholarship money for college?

60.04 percent said >> Sure. Scholarship money is scholarship money, and pageants are a cool way to stand out from the crowd.

39.96 percent said >> Puh-lease... Pageants are degrading, not to mention lame.

How would you classify your financial aid knowledge?

67.54 percent said >> Average student. I know some people who went through the college process, so I have an idea.

16.81 percent said >> Flunk out. I don't know a FAFSA from a WD-40. I'll figure it out next year.

15.66 percent said >> Head of the class. I've visited my school's college office to get a heads up on scholarship opportunities, financial aid information, and more.

Do you think it's fair that funding for music and arts programs has been cut over the past few years so that more resources are allocated to academic areas including math and English?

82.93 percent said >> No. Music and art are just as important when it comes to well-rounded knowledge as any subject. There's got to be a better solution.

17.07 percent said >> Yes. English and math are more important than music and art, so more funding should go to those subjects. If you're into the arts, then you can learn on your own.

Do you think you'll be able to handle the freedom that comes with going away to college?

81.27 percent said >> Sure. I'm responsible enough to find a study and party balance.

18.73 percent said >> I've been waiting to be on my own for so long, it's going to be hard to have willpower when something fun is going on but I really should be studying.

If you didn't have the opportunity to participate in the survey or if you just want to sound off, comment away!
