Is it weird or a bad thing to not have any social media accounts as a 16 year old girl?

I used to have Facebook and twitter and boy do I regret it. I found myself becoming unhappier just with owning those accounts. I wish I never created them in the first place as I would have been so much happier in my recent years.

But people say it's weird and everybody seems to have social media accounts. I kind of feel like I'm the only teen who dislikes social media and I'm the only one in my grade without fb or twitter.

I don't think it is bad. Keep yourself out of the drama. You will be much happier.

I'm 16 and the same way. I have no Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc. I used to have a FB and hated it. I do have a bit of social anxiety though so having an account always made me anxious of people judging me so I deactivated it. I'm happy not having these things because I don't have any drama, and don't have to deal with annoying people. I think most people find it strange because I've had a few friends ask why I don't have anything, but honestly I feel much more comfortable not being associated with those things.

No, not at all. I'm 16 too and Y!A is pretty much the closest thing I have to a "social media" account.

I don't dislike social networking, but I don't have any accounts. Twitter, Facebook...I just don't do that kind-of thing LOL

It's not weird or bad. I used to have a FB but the last time I even logged in was almost a few years ago, I hated it. I do have a Twitter though and recently created a Path, which is mainly created for family and close friends (the limit of friends you can have on there is 151). So I just add close friends and people I actually talk to from time-to-time at least.

It's actually been noticed lately that a lot of people are leaving facebook. Maybe, because of issues like yours. If you are happier without it, then good. It doesn't matter if everyone else has something, FB actually causes a lot of distress to some people, so good for you for enjoying life without it.

That's good! I don't have fb or twitter anymore either

I don't think it's bad. Social networking sites just take up so MUCH of your time that you end up doing nothing at all. I prefer e-mail than Facebook.

Seriously, I want to delete my Facebook account. People just stress me so much.

No it's not weird.. having account in any social networking website is your choice.. If you don't like this no need to make account.. Don't worry what people are saying just enjoy your life..
