About 11 million American youth have left Facebook since 2011, according to the consultant firm iStrategy Labs. Their researchers found that more than 4 million high-school-age users and nearly 7 million college-age users have left the social networking site in the past three years—staggering declines for both demographics of nearly 60 percent.

The news isn’t exactly news for Facebook, which has noticed younger users were gravitating away from the site while their parents and grandparents moved into it. “We did see a decrease in [teenage] daily users, especially younger teens,” Facebook Chief Financial Officer David Ebersman admitted.

While teens may not be thrilled with Facebook anymore, the network continues to grow. About 180 million Americans use it now, an increase of 22.6 percent since three years ago. (Time)
