This is exactly what I thought I would see, and this data does support my hypothesis. What happened to playing sports, or doing something healthy, and useful?

| Hand out with friends is still other, and other is right underneath hang out with friends. What a surprise! (NOT) |

My hypothesis was defenitly supported by all my data, that I found, and I think that kids really need to get outside or something, and play sports!
|
|
My finding have shown that less kids play sports, and are doing things, while most kids, are hanging out with friends, and also being couch potatoes. This means that in the future, even more kids will be unhealthy, and that is just pitiful. I think that by 2012 50-100% of kids out there will be unhealthy, because they don't play sports, and they won't want to play sports, because, we'll have so much higher technology, that by then they'll find something unhealthy to do inside, and thats not very good.
|
|
I would not recreate the survey, because its no use! the scores for sports, will probably become lower, and the scores for being a couch potato, will be higher. I think that what I have found will change me forever, and now I'm going to be telling people to do something almost forever. Now I'll probably be a lot more active than I already am! My hypothesis was right... a lot of kids are couch potatoes, that do nothing but lye around and watch television, eating who knows what.
