neither; rather, the parents do. after all, they choose which schools and which churches, in most cases, at least until the later teen years. is it the same in China?

The biggest influence should be played by parents. They had them, they need to their job and raise them. But to answer your question, schools play a bigger role than chruches. Considering that many teens are NOT catholic, or christian, or any derivative of catholicism... then it would be obvious that schools play a larger role in a teens part. But if you are asking about all religious institutions vs. the influence of schools, I would still have to say school. After all, school is attended five times a week, where as a "house of god" is attended usually once a week. There is a larger probability that schools are more influential. At least I hope they are.

I haven't any worry of the afterlife. I haven't any doubt that maximum souls go over and faith has no longer something in any respect to do with it. i think of all of us comprehend the phobia of hopelessness. i'm watching a action picture approximately George Adamson ('Born loose'). there have been poachers slaughtering elephants for the tusks and that i assumed-approximately how helpless we are to guard the animals on the planet from greed. The afterlife isn't in question, that i'm particular. What concerns is what we are able to do for this international to bypass away it greater useful.

What ethics do schools teach anymore besides its ok not to stand for the pledge and expelling jewish kids because they want to wear there traditional headwear in school. Church/parents are definatly the biggest roles in a teens life as far as their "ethical" beliefs. while mtv conquers the outside of teenagers their church or parents tell their kids what and what not to believe in.

I think one's peers are the greatest influence. Go to Bible camp, camp with Jesus. Develop some common sense, hang out with smart, interesting people. Either way you will be influenced: Educated or brainwashed / guided or misled.

As an American teen, I feel ashamed to admit it but my peers are definitely more influenced by school. I am Mormon (LDS) and my ethical beliefs are definitely defined by my religion.
However, this usually IS NOT the case.

Neither, it would be family and friends. You dont go to church unless your parents take you and if you go to a public school the word ethics doesnt come to mind.
