The Common Sense Media’s Program for the Study of Children and Media recently published a research report entitled, Social Media, Social Life: How Teens View Their Digital Lives. The report is based on a nationally representative, probability-based sample of 1,030 13- to 17-year-olds on their use of texting and social media.
