The communication dynamics of kids are weird. Weirder than I remember anyway. My teenager knows other kids who literally will not talk to you if you’re not on Snapchat or Instagram. For whatever reason they simply refuse to text.
My kid spends an absurd amount of time taking pictures of half her face to send snaps with.
I think if you don’t want to text or call me, then you don’t want to talk to me that bad.
Ive chatted with people before who exclusively talked on snapchat even after getting their number. Its strange to me. Ive since deleted snapchat and have texted a couple of these people with no response. Im getting too old.

Is the same as

And neither are that unreasonable tbh. Most people just don’t care to add another communication channel for one person. Even if that channel is an sms app they already have but basically never open.
Lol why does it feel illegal to come across a conversation by an old person directed at other old people abt their kids when u urself r the kid?
But yeah, snap is kinda weird. Never got it myself either. I think the main part abt it is the “stories”? Posts that disappear after 24hrs, which means that u can upload a lot of random shizz “just because”. M going to school? Upload a random pic looking out of the window of the schoolbus with something like “bored…”. Yeah, as I said, I don’t get the appeal either.
Snapchat is legit my preferred mobile messager because a ton of people have it and it’s not based on having a FB/Insta account . It gets a bad name because a lot of guys just use it for trying to get tit pics but the upshot is sometimes you get tit pics.
Do young people not using phone numbers for this today??? Those pre-date e-mails for many, many years…

Communication has become reactive instead of proactive.
I’ve never heard it put that way before but I think you might be on to something.
Holy shit you’re right. I feel like I just grew a brain cell
what exactly do you mean by that? isn’t communication always about reacting to each other?

Because parents can ask their phone provider for text transcripts, but not Snapchat or Instagram.
It’s literally that simple.
No they use Instagram.
Gross
Or Snapchat, or some other young people thing
MySpace?
Geocities?
IRC
NNTP

Hi5

But Instagram is so much less efficient than just texting.
Is it? It allows both to check out each other out a bit before committing to a date.
??? Who said anything about dating?
It’s just funny because people who prefer to communicate through email seem more geriatric than people who prefer to communicate by phone
For real this just makes the 23 year old seem inept. I don’t get this meme
