How do our teenagers spend their free time?

by Consuelo Mejía
The Colombian Government is very concerned about how urban teenagers are spending their free
time. Research shows that in cities many teenagers spend their time indoors, chatting on social
media, watching TV or playing video games. These teenagers can have poor posture and they can
also be depressed, because they don’t spend enough time being active in the fresh air.
In contrast, most teenagers in the countryside spend their free time doing physical activities
and playing outdoor games. They also help their parents; they do chores, feed the animals,

don’t have so many health problems.
