Summary | 59% of 14 to 19-year olds use Snapchat (not specified whether in US/Switzerland/world-wide) while only 6% watch television daily. Snapchat is quickly catching up with Facebook in the amount of content created by users. While Snapchat has become famous for its function to send images with captions and drawings that self-destruct after a few seconds, many new formats are now available on Snapchat: users can create collage-like “Stories” of their recent snaps that stay on the platform for 24 hours. Corporations create high-quality digital content that they distribute through Snapchat’s ‘”Discover” function, and journalists document events in real time through “Live-Stories”.

Summary | Teenage girls still live struggling with the same pressure as earlier generations; the only difference is that now social media are here to enhance them. The number of followers quantifies popularity and the longevity of content online can easily ruin somebody’s reputation for good. Having an account on WhatsApp, Snapchat, and other social media is compulsory at ages as young as 11 years old unless one wants to become isolated.
