Text: "Balancing Screen Time"
A recent survey of 500 teenagers (aged 13-15) in Kazakhstan looked at their weekly entertainment and media habits. The results showed interesting patterns. On average, teenagers spent 15 hours per week watching online videos (YouTube, TikTok), 10 hours playing video games, 8 hours using social media, and 5 hours listening to music or podcasts. However, only 3 hours on average were spent reading books or articles online for leisure. Experts suggest that a healthy balance is important. They recommend that for every 2 hours of passive screen time (like watching videos), teenagers should have 1 hour of active or creative time (like playing a sport, making art, or reading).

| Media Activity | Average Hours per Week |
|---|---|
| Watching online videos | ______ hours |
| Playing video games | ______ hours |
