The influence that the use of different electronic media can have in the juvenile population's school grade performance is a worrisome topic in which discrepancies exist in the results, so that conclusions or definitive agreements are not reached. The objective of this work is to offer an answer to it. The sample consists of adolescents (N = 433) of both sexes from the Autonomous Community of the Principality of Asturias, from institutions of secondary education (urban & suburban). The design of descriptive character, tries to correlate success or academic failure -- failure of subjects at the end of the school year -- as well as the motivation for the study -- time that the students dedicate to their academic tasks outside of class -- with the use & consumption of different electronic communication media. The results offer the reality of the use & consumption of electronic media by our adolescents, while it impacts in the differential importance of the gender variable & it guides the research to establish the importance of both interpersonal resources to know other adolescents as well as their own economic & educational resources present in the context of family socialization.
