> It seems entirely designed to keep the high school experience of constantly worrying about what everyone else is doing and thinks about you front and center through the rest of your life. I think this is true if you choose to make it that way, but for a lot of these, it really doesn't have to be that way. For example, I have a small (~10) number of friends on Snapchat; we generally share tiny tidbits of our life that we enjoy, and it helps us to know each other a little better in a manner that doesn't invoke jealousy.
