Technology Article: Teens' enthusiasm for Facebook is waning

Many teens have stopped using Facebook and have turned to other social media. Such as Twitter, Instagram  and Snapchat. Teens feel like there is too much drama on Facebook now and that their parents are controlling over there Facebook. Some teens said that they feel like they can express themselves better on other social media sites. They felt freed from the social expectations and constraints of Facebook. Pew found that the typical (median) teen Facebook user has 300 friends, while the typical teen Twitter user has 79 followers. Many people will still keep their Facebook so they can still check it every so often. Or they will keep it because it is connected to other social media.
