This article outlines how teens are relatively similar to adults, when it comes to media statistics, and how they use the internet even less then the average adult. Although there are many myths that view teens as different complete entities from the rest of the world, they are just as much humans as the rest of us are. Teens have the same general interest as adults; American Idol is the most popular tv show among teens, as well as adults. Although this research has plenty validation and research of it’s own to back it up, some of the research seems to miss what we are looking at. Yes, the average teen may use the internet less then the average adult, but teens to young adults make up the majority of the population that use social media sites such as facebook and twitter. We are looking at the validity of social pressures on people, and younger people take more actions to do something about these pressures then older people. || Deductive
