Nearly half of American teenagers say they are online “constantly” despite concerns about the effects of social media and smartphones on their mental health, according to a new report published Thursday by the Pew Research Center. As in past years, YouTube was the single most popular platform teenagers used — 90% said they watched videos on the site, down slightly from 95% in 2022. Nearly three-quarters said they visit YouTube every day. There was a slight downward trend in several popular apps teens used. For instance, 63% of teens said they used TikTok, down from 67% and Snapchat slipped to 55% from 59%. This small decline could be due to pandemic-era restrictions easing up and kids having more time to see friends in person, but it's not enough to be truly meaningful . X saw the biggest decline among teenage users. Only 17% of teenagers said they use X, down from 23% in 2022, the year Elon Musk bought the platform. Reddit held steady at 14%. About 6% of teenagers said they use Threads, Meta's answer to X that launched in 2023. The report comes as countries around the world are grappling with how to handle the effects of social media on young people's well-being. Australia recently passed a law banning kids under 16 from social networks, though it's unclear how it will be able to enforce the age limit — and whether it will come with unintended consequences such as isolating vulnerable kids from their peers. Meta's messaging service WhatsApp was a rare exception in that it saw the number of teenage users increase, to 23% from 17% in 2022. Pew also asked kids how often they use various online platforms. Small but significant numbers said they are on them “almost constantly.” For YouTube, 15% reported constant use, for TikTok, 16% and for Snapchat, 13%. As in previous surveys, girls were more likely to use TikTok almost constantly while boys gravitated to YouTube. There was no meaningful gender difference in the use of Snapchat, Instagram and Facebook. Roughly a quarter of Black and Hispanic teens said they visit TikTok almost constantly, compared with just 8% of white teenagers. The report was based on a survey of 1,391 U.S. teens ages 13 to 17 conducted from Sept. 18 to Oct. 10, 2024.Bear killed after attacking man walking on Metro Vancouver trail with dogTetairoa McMillan, one of the best wide receivers in Arizona history, will skip his final year of eligibility and enter the 2025 NFL Draft, he announced on social media on Thursday. Projected as a top-10 draft pick, the 6-foot-5, 212-pound McMillan finished his illustrious career at Arizona with 3,423 receiving yards, breaking the mark set by Bobby Wade (3,351). In three seasons, the Hawaii native also posted the fourth-most catches (213) and third-most touchdowns (26) in school history. "Wildcat Nation, this journey has been everything I dreamed of and more," McMillan wrote on Instagram. "From the moment I committed to the University of Arizona, to every second spent wearing that Arizona jersey ... it's been an absolute honor. "The University of Arizona has provided me with the platform to grow and chase my dreams. ... Thank you from the bottom of my heart. To the best fans in the country, I appreciate you for all of the love and support you have given me these last 3 years. I will always be a Wildcat." In 2024, McMillan totaled 84 grabs (ninth in Division I) for 1,319 yards (third in Division I) and eight touchdowns for the 4-8 Wildcats. He also ranked third in Division I with 109.9 receiving yards per game. McMillan is a finalist for the Biletnikoff Award, given to the most outstanding receiver in college football. --Field Level Media

Open Extended Reactions Welcome to Week 12! The props were poppin' last week! Well, at least for Daniel Dopp. In fact, all three of Double D's wagers hit. My picks, on the other hand, did not fare as well. Travis Kelce disappeared, Nick Chubb continued to shake off rust, and the Seattle Seahawks delivered a heck of an upset. Regardless, we're back for more and cooking up a buffet of tasty offerings. Let's start earning that holiday gift cash ahead of Black Friday! -- Liz Loza All odds as of publication time. For the latest odds, visit ESPN BET. Quarterback props play 0:57 Can Bo Nix be a top-10 fantasy QB for the rest of the season? Daniel Dopp goes in depth on the impressive fantasy season from Bo Nix. Bo Nix OVER 1.5 passing TDs, Denver Broncos to win (+150) Loza: Nix has been flush with fantasy points recently, going over 20 in four of his last seven games. His legs have been the headline surrounding his FF success, but the Broncos rookie QB has also been succeeding as a passer. In fact, Nix ranks fifth at the position in pass attempts (32.5 per game) and first among QBs in deep ball throws (4.7 per game). He has also demonstrated a penchant for converting in the red area of the field, tossing 13 TDs since Week 5, which ranks inside the top-five signal-callers in the NFL. This week he'll travel to Las Vegas for a rematch against a banged up Las Vegas Raiders squad that he beat by 16 points back in early October. He also threw two TDs in that game. Lady luck figures to be on his side once again in Week 12. Running back props Will Brian Robinson Jr. find more running room this weekend against the Cowboys?

Xavier Becerra Says 'We Do the Best We Can' After HHS Loses Contact with Thousands of Migrant ChildrenGood luck figuring out the Houston Texans right now. Sunday’s disheartening defeat to the Titans saw DeMeco Ryans’ side fall to 7-5 , but the loss was felt in more ways than one with cornerback Jalen Pitre suffering a pectoral injury. Pitre left the game midway through the first half and did not return, suffering what was initially believed to be a shoulder injury after spending a lengthy period in the blue medical tent. #Texans CB Jalen Pitre has been diagnosed with a pectoral injury. He will have an MRI tomorrow to determine the severity. Per @AaronWilson_NFL Jimmie Ward seems to be filling in at Nickel and just got a pick 6. pic.twitter.com/5A8cwbVq1R Reports surfaced after Houston’s 32-27 loss that the former second-round pick had suffered a pectoral injury, one that could turn out to be a complete tear, hence bringing an abrupt end to his season. An MRI on Monday will give us an official diagnosis, but after falling victim to some friendly fire on a tackle, Pitre’s absence could prove devastating for a Texans defense that has found it difficult to keep opponents off the scoreboard in the second half. Matt Burke’s defense has come under scrutiny in recent weeks after surrendering 19 unanswered second-half points three weeks ago against Detroit, and 12 against Tennessee on Sunday afternoon. Now in his third season, Pitre has developed into one of the league’s most reliable nickel corners, known for his hard-hitting style and elite tackling ability – a category he leads all Texans defenders in. With Pitre’s future status uncertain, Jimmie Ward figures to be the Texans’ answer at nickel moving forward.Aston Villa 3-2 RB Leipzig (11 Dec, 2024) Game Analysis - ESPN
