Youth activities online
• Building own profiles (present self to peers) • Visiting other profiles (to see how others
present themselves) • Commenting on profiles, photos etc .(often
positive, reciprocated)
![Page 4: Social Networking And Youth Presented by- Dhrolia Alefya 090110116004](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649cef5503460f949bd689/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Authentic vs. fake profiles • Many of the profiles are authentic, even if
presenting themselves in a good light • Sometimes there is great criticism of fake profiles• BUT: Some youth themselves create fake profiles
(as identity play) • Example • You can pretend to be anyone, you can trick
someone. A friend of mine told someone she was from Hawaii!We could do anything and we changed our name…..- Girl 15, UK

Communications
• Various national studies stress how much communication is positive (e.g. Denmark, France, UK, Netherlands, Italy, Estonia)
• Only a minority of actions on SNS were ‘negative’ e.g. following arguments offline between peers, ex-boy/girlfriends, teasing by posting ‘embarrassing’ pictures

Online continues offline
• From the countries most social networking sites are used by youth to communicate with known people, usually peers (e.g. Norway, Denmark, UK, Estonia, Ireland)
• E.g. (UK) 92% mainly use sites to stay in touch with friends, family they see a lot

Adding friends
• One practice, is competing to add friends to the friends list - as a sign of popularity
• BUT, this does sometimes mean adding ‘friends’ who young people have not met offline.
• Even if privacy settings are set to private, it means these strangers have access to profile names,pictures etc.

Privacy issues
• Children may be aware of adults online, but they put up details anyway
• That said, US research shows that many do take some precautions e.g. putting some fake details on profiles, not giving details that would allow a stranger to locate them
• What adults think should be private is not necessarily what young people think should be private
• Various studies indicate information that young people give out: (e.g. Ireland) 8% home address, 12% mobile phone, 49% date of birth

Privacy settings
• There could be problems understanding settings.
• But part of the decision to leave the settings public can be the desire to be visible to other teenagers

Parental rules
• In general, most studies suggest that parents do not know much about SNS
• 65% parents say the set rules about their children’s use of SNS, 53% of children said the parents set rules
• Two main types of rule – meeting new people (30%) , giving out personal details (27%) (parents’ figures)

Young children
• 27% of 8-11 year olds claim to have a profile on a site
• Some sites cater for younger children, but most have minimum age that is higher
• The qualitative study confirmed ‘underage’ use
