A recent survey conducted by TIRA, a Vietnamese research company, highlights problems about the
lifestyles of Vietnamese teenagers in urban areas. There is an imbalance in their consumption of time
for studying and recreational activities. On average, these teenagers spend 9.5 hours a day on studies
at school and at home. They only have about four hours for entertainment. Most of this time is spent
on watching television and the internet, where they chat through social networks. The teenagers admit
that they use computers to play games and to chat with friends much more than using it for studying
purposes. The survey also shows that during summer months, despite having much more free time
than during school years, these teenagers still fail to manage their time properly. They stay in bed
longer, and then get hooked on games and TV. The time for computers and TV increases significantly
to about five or six hours a day, while there is almost no time for physical outdoor activities.
