<p>"On school days, teen boys who play video games appear to spend less time reading and teen girls who play video games appear to spend less time doing homework than those who do not play video games"</p>

<li>I have noticed that rates of TV-watching have declined over the last few years (but this may be related to the INternet more than it is to video games per se). Personally, I tend to find that video gaming tends to smash my blogging and self-studying first, and then school (but I only play like twice every year nowadays).</li>
