Religion plays a powerful role in teens' everyday lives.
Respondents who were picked for honors. More than 1 million students in grades 6 through 12 have responded to our write-in surveys, sharing their views on drugs, sex, violence, race and money. The special reports, though non-scientific, reveal how strongly teens feel about issues that affect their lives. A majority of teens who took the survey say they feel good about themselves. Boys, minorities and students with strong religious beliefs feel best.
