"Fully 37 percent of teens with
relationship experience have used
social media to let their partner know
how much they like them in a way
that was visible to other people in
their network:' the study states. 'And
47 percent of teen daters say social
media makes them feel like they have
a place to show how much they care
about a boyfriend, girlfriend or sig-
nificant other."
Like many adults, however, these
teens are equally concerned that
social media allows too many people
to be involved in their personal busi-
ness. Some 69 percent of teen social
media users with dating experience
agree that too many people can see
what's happening in their relationship
on social media.
"Digital platforms are powerful
tools for teens for flirting, wooing,
connecting with and even showing
off a romantic partner:' said Amanda
Lenhart, associate director for
research at the Pew Research Center
and the lead author on this report.
"But even as teens enjoy greater
closeness with partners and a chance
to display their relationships for oth-
ers to see, mobile and social media
can also be tools for jealousy, med-
dling and even troubling behavior."
The study also revealed that the
most socially acceptable way and the
most common way to break up with
someone is by having an in-person
conversation, though texting — one
of the least acceptable ways to break
up with someone — is still quite
common. Indeed, 62 percent of teens
with relationship experience have
broken up with someone in person,
and 47 percent have been broken up
with through an in-person discus-
sion. Yet 27 percent of teens with
relationship experience have broken
up with someone via text message,
and 31 percent have been broken up
with in this way.
This study should prove an inter-
esting and perhaps even eye-opening
study for many parents of teens and
pre-teens. The picture it paints of
teens using the communications
tools of the Digital Age in their
romantic relationships, for better and
for worse, will also be beneficial to
better understanding Jewish teens
for their parents and Jewish commu-
nal professionals working with this
demographic in youth groups and
Jewish summer camps. *
