Don't feel like leaving the house? Worried about missing a TV show? No worries, online shopping saved the day. Most online shoppers are teenagers as they rely on technology for just about everything. Teens are always “on the go,” meaning they have school work to do, social life, practice, and so much more to balance. Additionally, almost every store has an application or "app" for Android and Apple phones that support the "on the go" process. Online shopping for teens is important and this essay will explain why.
