(NAPSI)-A number of teenagers who are confident in their ability to make ethical decisions regard dishonest and even violent behavior as necessary for success. That's the finding of the fifth annual Junior Achievement/Deloitte Teen Ethics Survey.

The majority of teens surveyed (71 percent) say they feel fully prepared to make ethical decisions when they enter the workforce. Yet 38 percent of that group believe it is sometimes necessary to cheat, plagiarize, lie or even behave violently in order to succeed.
