My question though, is could the reason teens don't read as much today is because there parents or guardians don't as well? I grew up with parents who read a lot so I am sure I got my love for reading from watching them growing up.

In my opinion and from observation, today's teen are distracted by other things and they read less.

So true, teens would rather play games or watch movies rather pick up a book and read.

Based on population alone, the number of teens reading nowadays are increasing.andrea w wrote: ↑02 Mar 2012, 21:55 I've been wondering about this for a while, and decided to seek out an opinion other than my own. Many surveys seem to say that teens are now spending less time reading for pleasure than in previous decades. But at the same time, there are certain books (particularly series such as Harry Potter, Twilight, The Hunger Games, etc.) that seem to be increasing the popularity of reading among teens. Do you think teenagers nowadays are less or more interested in reading compared to years ago?
