It's the question of a generation: Should I use Snapchat? Whether you're a veteran Snapchatter grumbling about the good ol' days of sexting or whether you're just now getting into the whole rainbow puke thing, one by one we've all fallen prey to the app's addictive qualities. Even my mother has it, and it pains me to say that she's actually better at it than I am at this point. (If you're reading this, Mom, don't let that go to your head. I can still crush you in Monopoly.)

With Snapchat's ubiquity in mind, here's where the aforementioned question comes in. As Bustle's resident Snapchat obsessive, you'd think that my answer would be a resounding, "Yes, always, there's never a bad time to Snapchat." However, you'd be dead wrong. While I might have made such a statement as a fledgling Snapchatter, I've learned things over my years of using the app — important things. Things like, "Don't Snapchat during a wedding ceremony." The bride will inevitably catch sight of your ugly-selfie face, thereby setting off a chain reaction of laughter that ruins the moment. That kind of thing might sound like a funny story, but it doesn't exactly make for a good relationship with your BFF's family.

Luckily for you guys, there's no need for you to learn by trial and error like I did. To that end, I've put together a simple quiz to help you answer the question, "Should I use Snapchat?" To find out, just answer the following yes-or-no questions.
