Unfortunatelly I think that the youngsters of today experience a huge peer pressure on the Internet. Young people still don't know who they are, they are in the process of defining it. That is when platforms such as Facebook and similar can be nasty.

Facebook is not a big nasty 'thing' which creates peer pressure... it's just an outlet for expression.... and said expression is customizable... Thinking that others form you or feeling that you need to create a persona to be liked by them, now that is naive in the extreme. |
