Half of the more than 1,000 teens ages 13 to 17 said they have let someone know they have feelings for them on social media sites such as Facebook, researchers found. Fifty-nine percent of the teens say social media helps make them feel connected to a boyfriend or girlfriend, according to the survey. "Social media are being used far less often in nefarious ways in adolescents' romantic lives than I think a lot of adults worry about," says Temple University psychology professor Laurence Steinberg.
