According to recent studies, teens are losing their interest in Facebook. Why is this?
Because, not only are their friends on there now so are their Grandparents, Parents, Aunts, Uncles, Etc. Instead of being able to do and say whatever they want, teenagers now have to be careful as to what they post because their families will see it.
CNN.com had an interesting article about this which can be found here.
Personally, I don't mind my grandparents, mom, and aunts and uncles on Facebook and being my friend. I think this helps lead kids to being able to make good choices on what they post on the popular social media site. Companies are now looking at our Facebook accounts to see what we are actually like. If we post something about being drunk the night before and hungover while at work/school the next day that is going to look bad on us. We have to be careful with what we put online. Once it is out there, we cannot take it back. A lot of kids in this generation do not understand that. Having to answer to parents about an inappropriate post will help them to see what they should be doing.
