Teens were in general agreement that an excit-
ing lifestyle is preferable to one that's quiet and
predictable, but there were some differences of
opinion worth noting. Proportionately more older
teens (16 to 18-year-olds) of both sexes (30 pr-
cent) saw the merits of a quiet life than did thir
13 to 15-year-old counterparts (22 percent). Per-
haps some of these older boys and girls have al- l
ready sowed their wild oats and are looking fo-:
ward the time when they will face the greater se-Z
sponsibilities of college and jobs. 3 S

Fewer teens whose parents both attended cl-
lege chose the contemplative life (23 percert);
than did youngsters whose folks didn't go to cl-;
lege (27 percent). But almost as many of the fr-3
mer as the latter voiced a preference for an c-?
tive, exciting life. The difference lies in the greit-'
er proportion of teens with college-educated pr-.
I enls who said they wanted the best of both worlds
— a lifestyle that's sometimes meditative, some-
timesexciting, : |

By George Gallup
PRINCETON, N.J. — Ask teen-agers if they'd
prefer a life that's quiet, orderly and pretty pre-
dictable. orone that's exciting and full of sur-
prises, and you'd probably come to the conclusion
that "quiet" is spelled b-o-r-i-n-g. . , <
When the latest Gallup Youth Survey asked a
representative cross-section of teens living injall
sections of the country to make this choice, an
exciting lifestyle was preferred by 2% times As
many kids as one that's predictable, with few sur-
prises. Relatively few teen-agers refused to make
a choice, saying, in effect, that they'd like to have
"a little of both."
For the nation as a whole, 64 percent of teens
opted for an exciting lifestyle, and 26 percent for
one that's orderly and predictable, while 10 per-
cent volunteered that their preference would be
somewhere in between these two extremes, or
weren't sure of how they felt.
It's obvious from their remarks that many teens
equate excitement with fun — and what teen-ager

doesn't want to have fun? On the other hand, quiet
means boring for many — and what teen wants to
be bored? These comments from participants in
the survey illustrate these attitudes toward life:
"I want to live my life to the fullest, I want to.
enjoy my life. I don't want to live a boring life."
(16-year-old girl from Chicopee, Mass.)
“I'm pretty much a predictable person now and
an 'exciting, surprising' life certainly sounds ex-

Easter e00 connoisseur “I'm wild! I love to have fun and do crazy

A well-earned reward is enjoyed by Shannon Lemke, 3, following an egg “My parents' lives are boring, and I don't want
