Comment on 3 Million Teens Leave Facebook In 3 Years: The 2014 Facebook Demographic Report

Comments

That last table though - 5.6% of teens (13-17) were married?! Something's clearly wrong with the data at hand.

A lot of people will say they're married to someone as a joke. I was in a relationship with "My Right Hand" for a while.

4.5% of 15-19 year olds are married. Teens lying about their age to get on Facebook could also factor into 5.6%.

The 5.6% is based on age 13-17 which for the purposes of marriage is very different than 15-19.
