Why Facebook is Losing its Appeal


Teens In Social Media Sites

Teens ages 14-17, also known as young millennials, are slowly starting to abandon their Facebook accounts and are moving onto more private social media networking circles. In a recent study, MTV surveyed teens in this age bracket about how they stay in contact with their friends. Facebook and even texting aren’t high on the list.

Surprisingly Snapchat, Instagram and Twitter are the most common forms of communication among teens. Survey participants said they are not deleting, but checking in on their Facebook accounts less because, “it’s full of older people now.

 These teens are seeking smaller, more private circles. Though Snapchat, as we have discovered, maybe isn’t the most private social media, Instagram and Twitter have simple privacy settings that can lock down a user’s account with one click of a mouse. Facebook’s privacy settings take a lot of time, reading and thought about just how private you’d like your account to be.
