7 Top Social Networks Among American Teens

This week on Mashable, we heard from one 13-year-old who claims none of her friends use Facebook and a 15-year-old who said all of her friends use Facebook.

While the perception of each of these two teens can provide snapshots of their schools and communities, Statista created this chart based on Pew data on American teens' social media use throughout the country.

Facebook is still the No. 1 most popular social network among teens; its use increased from 93% to 94% between 2011 and 2012. The next most popular social network last year was Twitter, which is used by 26% of teens. Another chart-topper, Myspace, saw drastic drop-off between 2011 and 2012, from 24% to just 7%.
