Main Idea And Authors Purpose
I think the author was trying to get out what kind of leaders this country will have in the future. By this I mean he was saying that if teens act the same way they are acting now in the future this country will fall. What he means by the title (American Teens Lie, Cheat, And Steal And Think They're Okay) is that the teens are showing all other country's how naive the US can be.
