Youth

Study Finds - A survey of 2,000 Americans, split evenly by generation, found that 46% of Gen Z respondents feel their personality online vastly differs from how they present themselves in the real world. However, they’re not the only ones hiding a different side of themselves behind a screen. In fact, 27% of respondents across all generations share this feeling, with 38% of millennials, 18% of Gen Xers, and 8% of baby boomers claiming to live “double life” online. The poll also asked Americans if they’re keeping their online persona a secret from any family members — and one in five said yes. Specifically, 31% of Gen Z respondents admitted their online world is a secret from family, while 27% of millennials said the same.
