Abstract
The debate on the social impact of information and communication technologies is particularly important for the study of adolescent life because, through their close association with friends and peers, adolescents develop life expectations, school aspirations, world views, and behaviors. This chapter presents an up-to-date review of the literature on youth sociability, relationship formation, and online communication, examining the way young people use the internet to construct or maintain their interpersonal relationships.
