The Media vs Teens

When someone noticed me, I sat on the night before the television. This is an attempt to describe modern 'Y' as laziness, obesity, drug addiction. If you simply want to swallow the belly you serve, you may have the idea that our teenagers will do nothing but texts, send text messages, and play games I do not. As we are inherently selfish, teens can not survive without the help of technology or parents.

The scenery of social media in which teenagers live is very different from the situation three years ago. In the center's youth social media use survey of 2014 - 2015, 71% of young people report that they are Facebook users. At that time, most teenagers did not use other platforms. About half (52%) of teenagers said they were using Instagram and 41% reported using Snapchat. In 2018, three non-Facebook online platforms (YouTube, Instagram, Snapchat) were used by most people in this era. At the same time, 51% of teenagers are now using Facebook. The proportion of teenagers using Twitter and Tumblr is almost the same as the survey from 2014 to 2015.

Social media is an important place for young Americans to talk and talk. 76% of young people are using social media. Facebook is the most popular platform, 71% of teenagers are using it. Instagram and Snapchat are becoming increasingly important, 52% of teens use Instagram and 41% are using Snapchat. One third of American teenagers use Twitter and three others are using Google Plus. Some teenagers use Vine or Tumblr. Social media plays an important role in connecting young people with new friends, allowing young people to learn more about new people and deepen their understanding. About two-thirds (64%) of young people met new people online and they said they met new people on social media platform. Two-thirds (62%) of teenagers said they shared contacts with social media user names with new friends.

Social media is the main way for young people to interact with existing friends in addition to making new friends. Over 90% (94%) of teenagers answer that they are spending time with social media friends. 30% of respondents said that they spend time with friends on social media everyday and one third (37%) said they are doing this every few days. Social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter are the best way to communicate with two-thirds (66%) of teens when they are asked to rank their way of communicating with friends It is one. As explained at the beginning of the report, social media is an important platform for making friends and keep in touch with friends. With this in mind, considering the frequency with which many teenagers use social media, when teenagers of social media use social media, the connection with the feelings of friends deepens and what happens in the lives of their friends It is natural that you can understand that you are there.
