It’s 2018. Do You Know Where Your Kids Are Posting?

According to a recent study on Teens, Social Media & Technology by the Pew Research Centre, the percentage of US teens (13 to 17 years old) who use Facebook fell from 71 per cent in 2015 to just 51 per cent this year.

YouTube, Instagram and Snapchat are now the top three preferred social media spaces for teenagers.
