In a survey recently conducted amongst ten students, 70%
reported that they spend the majority of their time in the mall. Of that 70%, 40% said they socialized, and
60% said that they watched movies together.
Only 10% said that they most frequently hung out in their local park and
socialized with their friends. The
remaining 20% reported that they frequently hung out at their friend’s house to
socialize and/or eat.
Out of the 10 people surveyed, 80% reported that they
spent the most time with their friends, whereas the remaining 20% said that
they either go out by themselves or with family.
When asked what activities they actually do while out,
60% said they socialize, 10% reported they shop, another 10% said they watch
movies, and the final 20% said that they ate.
When investigating how they got there, 40% reported that
they drove themselves, while 40% said that they were driven. The last 20% said that they typically walked
to their destination.
Finally, when asked how often they hung out at this
place, 70% said that it was on the weekends, 10% said it was during the summer,
and 20% said that they hung out during the weekdays.
Judging by the statistics, an overwhelming population of teenagers
hangout in malls. This undeniably shows
that modern teenagers, despite all of the technology at their disposal, will be
more likely to choose the mall and face-to-face interactions over something
like online chatting.
