There are 244,387 Norwegians between the ages of 16 and 19.
There are 204,060 Norwegians between the ages of 16 and 19 on Facebook.
That means that 83.5% of Norwegians between the ages of 16 and 19 are on Facebook.
I wonder how the 16.5% not on Facebook feel?

That’s so crazy that I almost can’t believe it. There must be some duplicates and lots of inactive accounts at the very least. When was the last time 83,5 % of Norwegian teenagers did the same thing? When they got cell-phones maybe?

There may be some duplicates or fake accounts in there. But even assuming say, 10% are fakes, that’s a lot of teenagers on facebook.
