Contrary to what you may hear or read, Facebook isn't dead.Studies show more and more teenagers are finding new social networks to communicate through, but rest assured Facebook is still on the radars of teens.A study by digital agency iStrategy confirms the Facebook has lost more than three million users in the 13-17 age range over the last three years. But the shock of that loss may be premature, according to tech website Social Times.Actually Facebook was never really meant for that age range. Instead, it was geared more toward college-aged students, 18-24.According to the study, Facebook has grown 32 percent among those 25-34. It's up 41 percent among those 35-54. And those 55 and older show an amazing 80 percent increase.So this shows that while Facebook may not be as attractive to teens anymore, it's growing with the older crowds.According to a Pew survey, Facebook is still the dominant social network for teens and only 5 percent hide updates from their parents.CLICK HERE to read the study.
