Interesting new research from Pew on Teens and Social Networks
According to a new Pew Internet Report on Teens and Social Networks, 55% of online teens (12-17) use social networks and 55% have created online profiles.
Interestingly enough, the survey found that “…older teens, particularly girls, are more likely to use these sites. For girls, social networking sites are primarily places to reinforce pre-existing friendships; for boys, the networks also provide opportunities for flirting and making new friends.” For the older girls (15-17), the percentage is 70% who have used an online social network.
