    I think this study will not show if videogames hurt grades. It is a correlational study, meaning that there is probably a correlation between hours played, amount spent studying, and grades. This does not mean that playing games causes bad grades, nor does it prove that low grades cause gaming. It just shows that people who have lower grades might have a tendency to play more games, or people who play more games might have a tendency to have lower grades as well.

    I know that video games are not the reason I don't ever do homework (and is why my grades suffer a bit, stupid homework grade). I just have bad time management and don't have enough will to do homework. I just hate it too much. I've spent hours just randomly walking around my house thinking about the fact that I do homework. I've been playing games a lot less in the last two weeks, but I still don't do homework.

    It's not a matter of videogames, it's time management and getting yourself to do things you don't want to.


    Right, on to the poll.
    -----------
    Age: 17
    Grade: 12 (Highschool)

    1. How much money do you spend on video games each year?
    b. $100-249


    2. How many hours per week do you play video games?
    c. 11-20


    3. How many hours a week do you study?
    a. 1-5 hours


    4. Do you often play video games when you should be studying?
    4 Moderately Often


    5. Have your grades ever been affected by playing video games?
    1 (I don't think so, it's more affected by my time management skills and the fact that I just don't do homework no matter what I'm doing....)


    6. If you grades suffered from playing too many video games, would you still buy new ones?
    a. Yes.


    7. What is your age?
    b. 16-20


    8. How many years of school have you completed?
    a. Middle School


    9. What is your gender?
    a. Male
