The analysis, completed by Washington, D.C-based Pew Research Center with assistance from Princeton Survey Research Associates and Greenfield Online was based on a survey of 754 teens and their parents nationwide. Among other major findings, 94 percent of online youths use the Internet for school research, 69 percent for hobbies, 68 percent for news, 66 percent for games, 59 percent for music, 31 percent for shopping and 18 percent for obtaining information on subjects that are difficult to talk about with other people.

In an interview, Amanda Lenhart, a research specialist on the project, said she found the overall findings intriguing. But, she said what really caught the authors' attention was the way that the "Instant Messaging" method of communication, commonly called an "IM has "radically" changed the lives of American teen-agers today. While the study concludes that teens are still using the telephone more often than the Internet, 92 percent of young people with Internet hook-ups use e-mail, and about three-quarters use instant messaging, a pop-up box that enables them to chat with other people online in real time.

The findings also showed how -typical teen behavior manifests itself online. For example, 64 percent of respondents said that teens engage in online popularity contests by ignoring instant messages from each other. About 57 percent routinely block others completely from speaking to them online.

About 17 percent said they form relationships online. And 13 percent said they broke up with a boyfriend or girlfriend, all with the stroke of a few keys. Some of the findings may prove troubling, particularly to security-conscious parents. About 60 percent of those polled, for example, said the teens have received e-mail or instant messages from strangers, and half of those surveyed said the teens had sent e-mails or instant messages to someone they do not know. Pew said American teens' instant-messaging sessions usually last over half an hour.

Pew said it could not determine the average time for a teen-ager's online session, because multitasking, or doing multiple activities online, makes teens' actual Internet use difficult to track, said Lenhart (1:19) 50671014 www "Double Jeopardy" (1999, Suspense) Tommy Lee Jones, Ashley (5:00) Boxing Kostya Tszyu vs. Oktay Urkal.

FREE AT LAST IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR FREE AT LAST: Bless you for writing. Your letter may be just the push that others need to reclaim their lives and self-respect DEAR ABBY: I am wildly in love with a wonderful man. We have been seeing each other for two years. There is only one problem: He has one long, bushy eyebrow that grows above both eyes. It's very unattractive.

I have tried dropping hints about how quick and easy waxing and plucking can be. It does no good. What can I do, short of attacking him with a tweezer while he's asleep? SPLITTING HAIRS, SAN FRANCISCO DEAR SPLITTING: Stop hinting and tell him that many hairy, masculine men have their eyebrows shaped. Also, consider presenting him a gift certificate for a day at a spa for a hair cut, manicure, massage and facial. If you do, he'll be so "mellowed out" he won't protest the wax job.

People in the news Compiled from Times news services film "Wake," which his daughter and son-in-law, Susan Landau Finch and Henry Leroy Finch, are making. Landau spent much of Wednesday regaling the film crew and visitors with tales of his career and doing impersonations of Hitchcock, Woody Allen and Jack Nicholson. 'Weakest Link' crosses generations BURBANK, Anne Robinson of NBC's "Weakest Link" believes the popular game show has both cross-generational and cross-cultural appeal. "There is a viewer who is over 50 who just gets very excited about me in leather," the 56-year-old Robinson told The Associated Press. There are also mothers who sit their babies in front of the set because somehow the baby laughs." "Weakest Link" has enjoyed hit status in England since the game show was introduced by the BBC last summer.

The show developed an immediate following in the United States after its debut on NBC in April. Poitier goes home to shoot documentary NASSAU, Bahamas Oscar-winner Sidney Poitier paid trib Storm cuts short 'NSync's concert CLEVELAND Pouring rain forced 'N Sync to say "Bye Bye Bye" to their fans temporarily at the first of two highly choreographed concerts at Cleveland Browns Stadium. The five-member group drew about 25,000 fans, who also were drenched in Thursday night's summer storm. The second show at the stadium on Lake Erie's southern shore was expected to draw twice as many fans Friday night. 'N Sync appeared on stage by 9:30 p.m.

DEARABBY: Recently when I dropped by my sister "Judith's" home for a visit, I found my 13-year-old niece, libby," curled in a fetal position on the sofa. Her face was red and wet from tears. After half an hour of coaxing, she confided what caused her to be distraught Libby had confronted Judith that morning with suspicions that her mother was having an affair.

Not only did Judith confirm her daughter's suspicions, she informed Libby that the affair had been going on for several years and was nowhere near finished. Then my sister swore Libby to silence. Libby said Judith was not only not sorry, but she was proud of what she was doing. I held Libby for the next two hours while she poured out her sorrows. Then she asked me what she should do.

Abby, I didn't know what to say. I've always lived by the "mind your own business" dictate, but I'm not so sure about it now. I don't doubt Libby's story. I know of two other affairs my sister has had. What upsets me is Judith's lack of good sense.

Tell me, what kind of mother proudly confirms her affair and then forces her 13-year-old daughter to keep the secret from her father? MY HEAD IS SPINNING DEAR MY HEAD IS SPIN- NTNG: A very shortsighted, cruel and unrealistic one. Stay close to your niece. She needs someone to talk to. Tell your sister you know about her affair. Suggest she and her husband go to marriage counseling or else you will have to tell him for the sake of your niece's emotional health.

Whatever the outcome, this is an unfortunate and traumatic event in your niece's life. She will need counseling. DEAR ABBY: This is for "No Name, No City, No Hope, No Life," who remained in an abusive marriage "for the sake of the children." She said she'd leave when the children were grown, but now her husband has health problems and she has responsibilities. Abby, this woman is only middle-aged. I was 72 when I left a miserable 45-year marriage.

My message to her: You say you have "responsibilities." What responsibilities? To him? Get out! Don't look back! I love being free! Abby is right It is never too late until you are dead.
