Teens are more occupied than younger kids. They play sports, have more homework, and more opportunities to go places. I think this is true. It may be an issue later in life but it's too early to know or decide.

Teens dont read for pleasure like they used to cause they would rather do  social media, video games or play outside and be active

I think its harder to read for fun especially now when on one hand you have so much technology just at your fingertips with social media platforms and all the new messaging platforms but on another we are swamped with homework and sports sometimes for 5-6 hours a night and when your stressing about that huge presentation due tomorrow it can be hard to get into a good book. Also its just not cool to read anymore it seems to me of you aren't posting, uploading, or streaming than you aren't cool.

Plastic in oceans in definitely a concern and I hope we can come up with a solution before  it's to late. I want future generations to be able to enjoy the outdoors. I still have hope we can genetically engineer a microorganism that can eat plastic.

More teens and kids are spending more time on electronics than reading and doing other things.And it will just get worse as more electronics are being developed.

Yes plastics in the ocean are a huge concern. I dislike how America disagreed with the European union about plastics the ocean is obviously being affected by plastics. We can stop using plastics and use something else and we also need to clean up trash in our ocean and recycle trash so we don't hurt our ocean

They do not read for pleasure like they use to because they are always on their phones , I think this false and it should not be an issue in the future

Usually teens don't like reading for pleasure is because they have other things now like Netflix and Hulu and things like that. And yes it is very true.

Yes, due to last years incidents  I believe it is. Vaccinating is important it won't give you autism and your herbs are not effective. Wash your hands it works. Clean where germs are spread.

It is true that there are some people who don't read in school, but in all honesty I wonder if they considered how many read at home? In this school I know a LOT of people who read at home every once in a while. You can kind of tell based on how the person acts. Have they considered reviewing middle school teens? I mean.... 8th grade is 13, 14, and the rare 15. So technically, we are teens as well. I think they focus a bit much on the higher ups instead of maybe looking at our range.

Teens do not read as much as they use to because they have social media and things like Netflix.  This is very true and I think it could turn into an issue.

Yes it is a really big problem it kills animals and is filling the oceans. I dont think there is much to do because we keep dumping plastic

# data[].attributes.body
I think that teens don't read as much as they used to do because there are simply just more interesting things to do than to just stare at a bland sheet of paper with words printed on it. Now, don't get me wrong, I like reading as much as the next person, but it is just not very stimulating, especially with our shortening attention spans. And yes, this is true, but it is not an issue, well at least compared to other problems with society, such as our failing education system, how broke millennials are, or the 'epidemic' of depression, anxiety, etc. Or maybe how the baby boomers ruined our future. Just look up relatable memes and you can see the many problems with our society. This article just seems like a complaint from some baby boomer that wants things the way they were ' back in my day, ' and who probably doesn't know how to turn on an iPhone.

Sincerely,

Yes, plastic in our oceans is a huge concern. It is killing and harming the animals, the environment, and coral reefs containing plants and creatures. It is a widespread problem that almost everybody is involved is but not everybody is involved in the help. More people need to be aware of this problem, so they can help.

Kids don't like to read for pleasure because they think of other things for pleasure than reading like watching Television.

A lot of kids and teenagers don't read as much anymore because they like to spend more time with their friends or stay on their phones. There are very little amount of people who like to read in this school. Which is a concern to me. I like reading time to time but sometimes, I'm not really in the mood too. But reading also helps you learn more while social media is distracting both kids and teenagers from what they should actually learn.  Electronics and friends have been a huge distraction to not only kids and teens, but some adults too.
