This document discusses using social media to reach teenagers. It begins by introducing the presenters and their backgrounds working with youth. They discuss how 95% of teens ages 12-17 are online, with 81% using social networks. The document outlines common teen social media activities and explains that teens use social media primarily to connect with friends, as the modern equivalent of malls or other hangout spots in previous decades. While there are downsides like cyberbullying, social media also allows teens to explore identity, connect easily with others, and be engaged in social issues. The presenters argue that social media should be embraced and used to provide teens with helpful information and prevention messages.
Social networking is on the rise and study found that 22% of teenagers log onto their favorite social media sites more than 10 times a day. To connect effectively with your children or younger siblings, you have to learn more about the different social media platforms that they are on, understand how each platform work, communicate in their lingo and be seen as a ‘cool’ parent.
The increased level of social engagement also saw the rise of cyberbullying, “Facebook depression” (a new phenomenon where “de-friending” and online bullying lead to symptoms of depression) and exposure to inappropriate content for our young ones.

9. Teens do NOT use social media in the same ways
adults do.
THINK: Where did you socialize
with friends outside of school?
#SM4TEENS
10. In the 1980’s, the most popular “hang out” site in
the U.S. was the mall– a public space where teens
could gossip, support one another, share
information, flirt, joke, and goof around.
Social networks have become the new stomping
ground for teens.
The site has changed, but the practices are quite
similar. Social media is simply another place for
teens to connect with friends.
Adults are more likely to use social media for
“networking”– reconnecting with old high school
acquaintances, find business connections, or
date.
*Boyd, 2001.
#SM4TEENS
12. Identity vs. role confusion (ages 12-
18)
Who am I??
Social relationships most important–
separation from parents and move to friends
Exploring independence
Developing personal identity
Desire approval and social acceptance
Likely to experiment with different roles and
identities
#SM4TEENS
13. “Teens must work out how they envision
themselves and how they want to be
seen and then they must use tools to
formally articulate this” (Boyd, 2001)
Creation of profiles
Much time & effort devoted to the creation of
profiles that reflect who they are and how they
want to represent themselves to others.
Constantly reevaluating
#SM4TEENS
15. SURE, SOCIAL MEDIA HAS
DOWNSIDES…
Cyberbullying & Digital abuse
One in six youth report being the victims of cyber bullying,
which is abuse and harassment from someone other than a
romantic partner (Urban Institute, 2013).
One in four dating teens is abused or harassed online or
through texts by their partners (Urban Institute, 2013).
#SM4TEENS
16. Sexting
2% of all teens ages 12-17 say they have sent a
“sexually suggestive nude or nearly nude photo
or video” of themselves to someone else. 16% of
all teens have received one of someone they
know (Pew Research Center, 2011).
Spend a LOT of time online
Access to unhealthy/untrue media
Privacy issues
#SM4TEENS
18. BUT, SOCIAL MEDIA ISN’T
ALL BAD…
Find information privately and
comfortably
Connect with friends and family easily–
which teens list as their primary reason
for being online
Social media users are more politically
and socially engaged in national
conversations and movements.
69% of social media using teens say
their experience is that peers are mostly
kind to each other in social network#SM4TEENS

Access to diverse youth across the world–
We can reach more kids with social media

times!
