Abstract

The study was conducted in the Pitter Ferrera neighborhood in Bilwi city, Puerto Cabezas municipality, North Atlantic Autonomous Region. It highlights that, teenagers consider 24 hours a day as free time because they have no responsibilities, mainly boys are dedicated to listening to music, studying, watching television programs, sharing with friends. They rarely engage in other family activities. In addition, they like to be with their peers because the activities they propose and carry out are fun and entertaining; while family time is usually boring and full of chores and rules.  The study was conducted through interviews with the main actors and focus group with parents, direct observations in different sectors of the same neighborhood
