I'm fifteen and nearly all of the time use PGP-encrypted IM/email to communicate.

I believe kunai but agree that use of encryption in messaging is very atypical, regardless of age.

I'd say that's mostly due to outside use. If your friends don't care about encryption, you would never use it. Since I have an extremely small social circle, I can afford to use encryption because I can actually convince people to use it.
