The time thief among Norwegian teenagers

Social media among teenagers in Norway

 

Social media is an important thing for many people these days. Especially teenagers. A Norwegian teenager uses in average 7 hours each day on social medias. There are a lot of different ways to use social medias, but the mostly used one, is the cellphone. But why does this “attract” so many teenagers?

 

In 2014, the statistics shows that over 3 million Norwegians used the social media called “Facebook”. Most of them are of course teenagers. Many grown-ups think that 7 hours on social medias is way too much. But teenagers have other thoughts in their mind. Some of them use it because they want to keep in touch with old friends or so, other use it because it´s practical. Many people think that you get too busy checking your phone, so you won´t have the chance to experience the real world.

 

My opinion is that most teenagers spend too much time on social medias. Of course it´s a good way to communicate with people around the world, but you should be aware of how much time you spend on looking at a screen. You cannot live a life in your phone, you have to look up and see the real world. Spend more time on friends and other stuff like that.
