| Description | This article deals with the questions of social networks use by Czech contemporary adolescent young people. In the period of adolescence we can behold the process of searching of ones own identity as the important virtue. The aim of the research was to report social networks use by contemporary Czech adolescents, about motives and reasons why they use those networks. Another aim was to find out if the connection between online friendship and the real relations among adolescents exists and if there are any distinctions in social networks use among boys and girls. It follows from the results that most of our respondents use social networks regularly, especially because they need to be in contact with somebody, in this way to have the possibility to keep the contacts with their friends and their peers or because of lack of another kind of amusement. Czech adolescents mostly use Facebook and Youtube social networks. |
