I'm writing an essay for school and I'm conducting a survery on a bunch of different message boards. So if you're between the ages of 12-18, please answer the following questions:
1. How much time do you spend online a day? (on average)
2. What do you do when you're online, and how much time do you spend doing those activities?
3. If you visit any message boards or chatrooms, what type of message boards or chatrooms do you visit?
Short survey, I know. So if you have it in you, please answer the questions.

1. About 5 hours

2. Thanks to the wonders of Alt-Tab, I do more than one thing at a time. So I'll be on BWW almost constantly while I do everything else.
Homework: 2.5 hours
Reading my RSS feeds: 2.5 hours
My RSS feeds range from various news and commentary sites to my friends' LiveJournals, Xangas, etc.

3. Other than BWW, I also lurk on several movie discussion boards and I post on Baseball Primer and ATC.

2. E-mail- depends on how much I get, usually about 20 mins
Talking to friends on MSN messenger- usually about 30 mins to an hour.

And then I usually spend about 20 mins looking at other sites (my favourites are mugglenet.com and broadway.com)
