Oh yes...and that! Skype seems a weird one though...what's the reason they might choose Skype when they also have Snapchat?

To actually talk they call using whatsapp or FaceTime or if there's a few of them together they use a party app I'm not sure of the name. To message its snapchat and insta.

I'm also not sure my teens know what Skype is Grin

(Possibly one of their friends isn't allowed 'social media' and only has access to Skype?)

Bonny I did think that....she's got a big group of friends and some of them are from very protective families. Some are "normal" in that they arrange their own social lives to a large degree and can meet up in town having caught the bus, but a couple are ferried there and back and their Dad will literally stalk them as they wander through the shopping centre!

At least they're not being left out though eh!

At school, we used to chat in the chat room of the S Club 7 fan page because one friend wasn't allowed MSN. It's probably because it's all a friend is allowed access to.
