    i will admit that, but i really just use it to stay in touch with friends from other schools and family that lives far away. plus, all of my friends have one so its easier to stay in touch with them when we're not in school. the apps though, those will ruin your life.

    But I'd estimate that in the next few years it might start going downhill.

    My son used to be a Facebook junkie. He hasn't checked his Facebook in over a week.

    Google + is a load of rubbish. Facebook's still good as long as you don't put too many personal details on there...

    Too bad the child doesn't know WHO purchased that "Insta" ..
    (just saying .. )
    What I .. 'see' ..
    in terms of the younger generation
    is that Facebook .. its games .. shares .. are still there
    (however .. let's also Acknowledge I know many have multiple sock accounts too .. they've got base profiles .. then ones specific to games .. )
    The constant 'shares' .. post everything ..
    is mostly turning OFF those who have LIVES outside in the REAL WORLD ..
    I don't have time for the nonsense of 'gaming' ..
    there's far more vibrancy in real LIFE ..

    I think Facebook is still overwhelmingly popular with teenagers...
