Abstract
Social media has become a staple for American adolescents. Participation in social networking sites (SNSs) has gained immense popularity via platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, Tumblr, and Vine. According to a Pew Research Center survey in 2015, 89% of teenagers reported using at least one social networking site, with 71% of adolescents reporting using more than one SNS. It is fair to say that, as a multibillion‐dollar industry, social media, in one form or another, will continue to be of interest to our adolescents and a part of our future. The goal of this article is to describe how providers may use discussions of SNSs to communicate with adolescents in care.
