    I think you have a point. However, my 13-year-old and most of her school are all on Snapchat and use it constantly. They’re also regularly posting TikTok videos. Kids get in trouble for doing them at school all the time.

      Interesting! You think TikTok and Snapchat are counters to my closed group chat observation?

      If so I didn’t mean to suggest that that’s where everyone is going. Not at all. TikTok and Snapchat would be examples of the generational factor I was talking about.

        No, I said you had a point. I was just addressing the idea that, while it may be generational, even the current generation is still addicted to social media. Maybe less so, but still addicted to it.
