Why do you say that?

In my experience every single teen I know is on Google+ and not facebook, while the older parents are on facebook.

Some of the teens also have facebook, but none don't have Google+.

This is because of two reasons: 1: Gmail means they all have Google+ accounts almost automatically, and 2: The privacy controls are much better in Google+, and they like that.

The only few people I know on Google+ are hardcore google fans who work in tech. Every teen (~15-18) I know is on facebook. And their younger siblings.

Plugin, Facebook Messenger seems to be quite dominant across those age groups too.
