More than one-third (38%) of teens surveyed use their mobile phones to text-message their friends during school, 30% play video games on their phones while in school, and more than one-quarter (26%) use their phones to talk to people their parents would not approve of. The survey also revealed that on average, teens spend almost as much time on their mobile phones as they spend doing physical activity."</i><br /><br />I'm a little confused at the last part of this survey. Are they saying kids don't get enough physical activity? Because, the survey seems to be focused on how Teens use their mobiles too much. So, maybe they're saying kids are getting a lot of physical activity. But there are so many reports about youth obesity being on the rise. Argh, now I'm really getting confused. :? Lets just say, kids like their mobile phones, and leave it at that. ;)
