FB is the platform for old friends to reconnect and for extended families to stay in touch - neither of which are that important to a teen. The more interesting trend is teens watching YT in lieu of TV - my teen's viewing habits are almost exclusively centered around YT. It'll be interesting to see what the long-term ramifications of that are.

If true, that would imply that teens will migrate back to Facebook as they get older, but right now I hear them mocking anyone that uses Facebook so much I wonder if they will not use it simply to save face.

I've noticed the same thing regarding TV. Recently we were at a hotel where some of my younger kids were watching TV for basically the first time. They were extremely confused by commercial breaks.
