YouTube is turning 15, but many of its users are much younger than that. Linda Charmaraman, Ph.D., a senior research scientist at the Wellesley Centers for Women and director of the Youth, Media & Wellbeing Research Lab, surveyed over 1,000 students in grades 5-9 from October through December 2019.
