The first four reasons why they don't use twitter give some insight:

1) It's lame 2) My friends don't use it 3) I don't understand it 4) It doesn't
help me do anything

The rest of the reasons are less than 15%.

Pretty sensible reasons there.

I can't see much point in a teenager using twitter. Teenagers spend every
weekday at the same school as most of their friends anyway, and at any given
time their friends are doing pretty much the same thing they are. "Sitting in
class. Bored."

It's only when you get older and your friends get a bit more diverse and
spread out and more likely to be engaging in interesting activities that
twitter becomes less dull.

OMG, Twitter has to have the best fricking marketing people in the universe.
Just look at the title. It's like it is expected or assumed that everyone has
to be on Twitter and the fact that teenagers are not on it is some troubling
problem or some curious aberation. It sounds like "why don't teens exercise."

I don't know, maybe teens don't tweet for the same reason I do not tweet.
Maybe they have never actually felt the need to tweet.
