Completely anecdotal, but my siblings and cousins that are teens don't have Facebook, and most of their classmates don't either. It's weird to imagine a world where not everyone has Facebook, but I don't think it's as ubiquitous for those who grew up where alternatives existed, such as Snapchat and Instagram (even Twitter as well).

As teenagers with close friend circles, that's becoming more common. I wouldn't be surprised to see them pick up and get more involved with Facebook if/when they enter a larger community at college, or move to a new city, etc.
