Introduction

Occupying a middle ground between childhood and adulthood, between

work and leisure, high school students have been forefront of a social
change since the end of World War II. They were among the first to use
the internet for communication, recreation and file sharing, and the
first to have regular broadband internet access. Internet use first
become widespread on universities in the 1990s and in many ways. The
internet is a direct outcome of high school based research. YAHOO!,
Napster, Facebook and many other internet tools were created by high
school students are simply internet users, as a group they can be
considered pioneers.
New developments in the technological world have made the internet
an innovative way for individuals and families to communicate. Social
media networks have created a phenomenon on the internet that has gained
popularity over the last decade. People use social media sites such as
Facebook, Tweeter and Myspace to create and sustain relations with
others. (Boyd & Ellison, 2007). These social media sites let those who
use them create personal profiles, while connecting with other users of
the sites. Users can upload photograph, post what they are doing at any
given time and send personal or public message to whomever they choose.
In this “information age”. Social media sites seem to be growing in
popularity rapidly, especially among young adults (Pempek, Yermolayeva
& Calvert, 2008).
Lenhart, Purcell, Smith and Zickuhr (20100 found that 72% of all
high school students have a social media profile with 45% of high school
students using a social media sites at least once a day. Many of these
young adults use social media networks to communicate with family,
friends and even strangers.
