Is it possible this batch of survey respondents just doesn’t trust anyone with information about their habits, so they lied?

Came here to say this. I remember these surveys in high school and how non-seriously we took them. Really, I can’t imagine any group less credible to survey than high schoolers.

But it's changing over time, and students always lied.

But it's possible that this generation is wiser/ more cynical and doesn't believe in anonymous surveys.

I know I don't.
