PREVIOUS PAGE: MARTIN GEE; THIS PAGE: JAMIE K PHOTOGRAPHY FOURTEEN-YEAR-OLD CASEY SCHWARTZ has ditched more social networking services than most people her parents’ age have joined.

Casey still uses Snapchat, but less than she did last year, and in the span of three months, she’s joined, quit, and rejoined Twitter. She’s collected banished apps into a folder on her phone labeled “Stuff Nobody Likes.” And she’s thought about deleting her Facebook account because she checks it so frequently.
