Don't follow the honor code (drink, sex...etc). Based on my BYU experience at that time, I didn't think his number was correct. But I'm starting to think that he may not be exaggerating as much as I thought he was.

Based on your experience, do you think that number is off?

1/20 or less. Though my sample of rebels wasn't that high.

I'd guess it's closer to 15%.

Based on my experience, your friend is projecting.

4/27/15 9:53pm

I would guess 20-25%.. Morality stuff in the 20% range.. Alcohol in 10% range.

Actually take that back.. Guess 10% overall.. Lot of quiet kids

If you include curfew, then definitely. I violated curfew more often than not.
