Why don't we consider these three points from your post along with the following - the answers to which may illustrate the points.
a) all your classmates are online and chat about their online discussions in the classroom the next day. They are often giggling at in-jokes. Do you feel that little Joe would feel pressure to be online ?
b) someone tells you that John (that fancies Suzie) has put something about you online, but you can't read it unless you sign up, but don't want anyone to know that you want to read it. Do you feel that little Joe would feel pressure to be online ?
c) Little Joe signs up and realises that everyones page is adorned with kisses and comments and links to friends in response to what they have displayed in their window. Do you feel that little Joe would feel pressure to put information online ? If so , what kind ? What characteristics do you think it would have ?
.....
and so it goes...

Facebook is not a big nasty 'thing' which creates peer pressure

feeling that you need to create a persona to be liked by them, now that is naive in the extreme. |
