Survey for College

Hi guys, I know this is a poem website. But I am in DESPERATE need of help for my Child Psychology term paper. I need to survey a lot of people, and frankly, I have no friends I can survey, so I am begging you all.

Basically, it's a 10 question survey about law breaking before the age of 18. Along with the answers you give, I need your first name, age, religious affiliations (i dont know why she wants this, honestly), and your ethnicity. Oh, and also whether or not you were ever caught.

1. Did you ever drink alcohol? (before 21)
If so, how did you obtain these?

2. Did you ever use any form of illegal drugs?
If so, how did you obtain these? And how old were you?

3. Did they ever buy cigarettes? (before 18)
If so, how did you obtain these? And how old were you?

4. Take something that was not yours (steal)?

5. Did you ever do anything illegal while driving? (such as driving someone while you still had a provisional license, or drive with no license at all)
