My Little Sister Taught Me How To “Snapchat Like The Teens”
For those of you who don’t know (I didn’t), your Snapchat score can be found beneath your barcode on your account page. The score is determined by how many snaps you send and receive as well as how often you post and watch Stories.
.. ME: I’ve seen how fast you do these responses… How are you able to take in all that information so quickly?
BROOKE: I don’t really see what they send. I tap through so fast. It’s rapid fire.I’m mesmerized. What’s even the point of sending snaps to each other if you don’t look at them? Am I crazy? That seems so unnecessary
.. One of the biggest fights kids have with their parents is about data usage.
ME: Really? Because you’re using too much?
BROOKE: Yeah. This one girl I know uses 60 gigabytes every month... ELSBITCH: Streaks are the MOST important thing on Snapchat. Not just one streak — you need to have multiple.
I stopped her right there.
ME: What is a streak?
BROOKE: You don’t know what a streak is? It’s when you send a snap to one of your friends on consecutive days. You have to make sure to respond every day with a snap or you break the streak... 1) Teens don’t really watch much TV anymore. They’re on Netflix, and they like Grey’s Anatomy.
.. 3) I just need to mention this: While I was talking to Brooke, she mentioned that she has700 unanswered texts “just from today.”
