I’m trying to use instagram to connect with the youths.

I hate it.

Are the youths using Instagram? I would’ve thought they’d all be on TikTok.

@lmika Honestly, I don’t know any more.

Leon Mika

Not sure I ever knew.

@lmika I’m a millenial but have never used Instagram. Most of my friends who are my age have it. Also, the students I teach (11-17) always ask if I have Instagram because they use it, too. I also want to try to connect to the youths more, but getting Instagram is where I draw the line 😅

@val Oh, that’s interesting to know. I didn’t realised Instagram has such staying power across generational lines. I don’t use Instagram, and the people I know tend to use Facebook proper (I don’t use that either).

@val @lmika I, too, am a millennial and I’m only doing it to connect with my kids high school classmates to get them involved with different activities.

I just see it as advertising. Lots of shiny stuff and not a lot of substance.
