Teens at THS primarily use social media like Instagram, Snapchat, Tumblr, and Facebook to connect with friends, see what others are doing in their lives, and share photos. They are drawn to social media because it is fun to communicate with friends and is very popular. While mainly used for personal communication, social media can also be utilized professionally by teens to showcase art, photography, or other skills that could help with college or jobs. Facebook has declined in popularity among teens recently, while other platforms like Instagram, Snapchat, and Tumblr have grown more widely used. Social media presents both opportunities and risks for teens' futures depending on how they choose to represent themselves online.
