Most Teenagers See Their Parents as Role Models

Most American teenagers, 54%, see their parents as their role models, according to a recent Junior Achievement survey on teenagers and ethical decision-making.

There was some bad news in the survey, however – only 3% of the teenagers said they see members of the clergy as role models.

Finally, 13% said they see their friends as role models, 6% said their teachers or coaches, 5% said their siblings, and 11% said they don’t have any role models.
