Hey everyone, I've been trying to figure out the best way to connect with my peers outside of school, especially since we're all starting to think about college applications and stuff. I was just wondering, what's the social media platform that most high schoolers are using these days? I want to be able to keep up with trends and talk about things that concern us like college admissions and after high school options. Thanks for the help!
It seems like TikTok is currently the most popular social media platform among high school students. Its extensive reach and creative features make it an appealing platform for teenagers. More than just a space for dance videos, TikTok has grown into a platform where students share advice, discuss college admissions, and tap into the latest trends.
However, you might also consider platforms like Instagram for a more static, visual medium, especially if discussing college admissions and post-high school options. Students often post about their college acceptances, future plans, and share tips related to applications and college life.
Reddit also houses a wealth of resources and discussions on these topics, with dedicated subreddits such as r/ApplyingToCollege or r/college. It's a less personal platform, but its wealth of information and the opportunity for anonymous participation can be a good fit for some students.
Remember, while it's beneficial to connect with peers in these ways, it's always important to take regular breaks from social media to avoid information overload. Each platform has its advantages so consider what you're looking for with these interactions and choose the best platform for your needs.
