My 18 yo laughed when I asked if she has a fb page. She as well as I use Insta but she uses TY, Snap and Discord

To stay connected to grandparents and family members.

DS is going into his freshman year at his section of the band uses FB messenger to communicate. No idea why they chose it... I expressed a bit of concern and he said "It's facebook! I'll be the youngest on there by like 50 years!"

He then proceeded to beg for Insta which has been a much bigger timesuck.

+1 My college freshman joined only because her club sport did all their communication in a FB group. Other young people are on there for marketplace.

My 22 year is on it for this reason. She never posts anything

To stalk people including their parents friends. Not joking.

To connect with family, sports teams and special interests from what I see with my teens and early 20s kids.

The teens I know on Facebook seem to use it mostly to promote lawn mowing business, pet sitting business, babysitting, tutoring, etc. trying to reach parents.

Marketplace. My son and his friends are looking at cars and parts for cars if they own one already. That is the only reason they have accounts. I asked the same thing. They are not using actual FB.

Hush your mouth! I love fb. You can’t tear me away.

I have teens at home and lately I’ve seen profiles of some other teens we know pop up in the “People you may know” part of Facebook.

I thought teens hated Facebook. It’s mostly old geezers like me (mid 40s 🤣)

What’s going on? Are they spying on their parents?
