Nearly half of American teenagers – children ages 13 to 17 - say they are online “constantly” despite concerns about the effects of social media and smartphones on their mental health. 

尽管担心社交媒体和智能手机对心理健康的影响，但近一半的美国青少年（13 至 17 岁的儿童）表示，他们“经常”上网。 

The information comes from a report that was recently released by the Pew Research Center. 

该信息来自皮尤研究中心最近发布的一份报告。 

As in past years, YouTube was the most popular platform teenagers used. Around 90 percent said they watched videos on the website, down slightly from 95 percent in 2022. Nearly 75 percent of those questioned said they visit YouTube every day. 

与过去几年一样，YouTube 是青少年最常用的平台。大约 90% 的受访者表示他们在网站上观看了视频，略低于 2022 年的 95%。近 75% 的受访者表示他们每天都会访问 YouTube。 

There was a small downward change in several popular apps teens used. For example, 63 percent of teens said they used TikTok, down from 67 percent. Snapchat use went to 55 percent from 59 percent. This small decline could be due to pandemic-era restrictions easing up and kids having more time to see friends in person. But the change is probably not big enough to be truly meaningful.

青少年使用的几个流行应用程序出现了小幅下降。例如，63% 的青少年表示他们使用 TikTok，低于 67%。Snapchat 的使用率从 59% 上升到 55%。这一小幅下降可能是由于大流行时期限制的放松以及孩子们有更多时间亲自见到朋友。但这种变化可能还不够大，不足以产生真正的意义。

X saw the biggest decline among teenage users. Only 17 percent of teenagers said they use X, down from 23 percent in 2022, the year Elon Musk bought the platform. 

X 在青少年用户中下降幅度最大。只有 17% 的青少年表示他们使用 X，低于 2022 年埃隆·马斯克 (Elon Musk) 购买该平台的 23%。 

Reddit usage remained the same at 14 percent. About 6 percent of teenagers said they use Threads, Meta’s answer to X that launched in 2023. 

Reddit 使用率保持不变，为 14%。大约 6% 的青少年表示他们使用 Threads，这是 Meta 对 2023 年推出的 X 的回应。
