Kids from single-parent homes are fueling the teen blogosphere—they're 68 percent more likely to be creating content than their peers from dual-parent homes, a new Pew Internet survey says.
Some 42 percent of teens living in single-parent homes shared their writing in a blog, compared to 25 percent of teens in dual-parent households, according to the survey of 900 parent-teen pairs.
The study also said teens who blog or engage in social networks tend to be well-adjusted. They’re more likely to participate in sports, music, part-time employment and other extracurricular activities.
Girls are leading the teen blogosphere – 35 percent of those surveyed blogged, compared to 20 percent of boys. Teen boys, however, were more likely than girls to post videos online (19 vs. 10 percent)
