Results of FHS Sexual Attitudes Survey

Results of Fall 1999 FHS Sexual Attitudes Survey
(English II report, Erik Garrison)

For my fall English II research paper, I passed out 160 surveys to students in 9th-12th grades. I received 77 responses. There were seven questions, students were to answer "yes" or "no." I got so many "maybe's" that I included them in the results. Questions are listed in the headers of the tables.

A lot of people wondered about question 4. It was included to check the relationship between religion and sexual attitudes, especially toward abortion.

Thanks to everyone who participated!
