The Internet is in a circular debate about just how much teens aren’t using Facebook. Some sites say Facebook is hemorrhaging young users, while others disagree.

A study by digital agency iStrategy confirms that Facebook has lost more than 3 million users in the 13 to 17 age group over the last three years. The 18 to 24 age group has also declined by nearly 2.5 million.
