This graph depicts how teens use social media profiles to share personal information about themselves. The chart compares the privacy management for the percentage of teens ages 12-17 from 2006 to 2012. There is a trend of sharing more personal information online today than before, which can be explained by the vast changes in platforms and norms regarding privacy. This is a potential cause for concern as younger teens may expose themselves to danger by sharing more.
