How Much of their Social Media Life do Teenagers Share with their Parents?

Most teenage girls have social media but how many of their parents know what they really do on the online world?

Students were asked "How much of your social media life do you share with your parents? Why/why not?"

A survey of 50 teenage girls showed that they share varying amounts of social media with their parents.

Thirteen shared nothing with their parents for the following reasons...

 -It's not their business

 -I don't want them to find out stuff

 -They wont feel happy about how I use it

6 out of the 50 shared everything of their online life with their parents all for the same reason of 'I have nothing to hide.'

31 out of 50 shared a little bit of their social media with their parents because...

 -They won't understand
 -My messages are private
 -Different levels of trust

It was surprising that a couple of people felt that their parents would be disappointed in the way they use social media and that the majority of people shared a little bit with their parents.
