1.According to the study, teen self-esteem, which climbed in the early 1990s, dropped after 2012, which happens to be the year that smartphone ownership in the U. S. hit the 50% plateau.

2.According to information from the Pew Research Center as well as the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, the percentage of teen agers who used smartphones was 37% in 2012, 73% in 2015, and 89% at the conclusion of 2016.
