How British teenagers spend their free time

          Until 2010, the most popular leisure activity for British teenagers was television, but TV now takes second place. Of course, watching TV is not a hobby! Unlike TV, hobbies always make life more interesting and make us feel good. So, apart from TV, what are the most popular pastime for British teens?

Using SOCIAL MEDIA

    You may say it's not a real hobby, but using social media websites is certainly more interactive than watching TV. It's also the main thing British teenagers do in their spare time. Over half of them - 54%- say it's their favourite leisure activity of all. More than a third of teenagers in the UK say they like using social media and watching TV at the same time.

READING

    Books still have a powerful attraction in the computer age. About half of British teenagers love good stories, especially ones that continue through several books. Some of the most popular novels among British teenagers in recent years are the Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins and the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer.

PLAYING VIDEO

    British teenagers prefer indoor games to outdoor ones. Around 8 million of the UK's 27 million homes contain the most popular video games console, and playing video games is the favourite hobby of 37% of British teenagers. Football video games and driving video games are particularly popular.
