Social Media Statistics

• Despite the 13-year-old minimum, over half of parents of 12-year-olds say their child has a Facebook account, and three-quarters of these helped their child create the account.
• 40% of teens have seen pictures on social networks of their peers getting drunk, passed out, or using drugs, and half of these first saw these pictures when they were 13 or younger.
• More than 11% of teens are “hyper-networkers,” spending more than three hours per school day on social network sites.
