While social media allows teens to potentially make new friends online, most tend to connect with people they already know.

With advances in technology and media convergence, teens today are growing up in a much different world than their parents did. The Internet now serves many teenagers as a place to hang out, without needing a ride to the nearest mall. Chapter 2 of Hanging Out, Messing Around and Geeking Out focuses on how young people build, maintain and develop friendships (Ito 114) through social media.

Peers & Friendship Making friendships is a key component of growing up as a competent social being and young people need to be immersed in peer cultures from an early age Teens flock to social media to play out means of status negotiations when they are away from the school yard (Ito 93).

Can develop relations with people who are different from them Most teens connect with people they already know or are already loosely connected with Can turn acquaintances into friendships Teens make friends by choice Their choices are influenced by social, cultural and economic conditions around them Homophily is the likelihood that people connect to others that share their interests and identity, such as similar age / shared interests / values
SNS can also be an outlet for teens who are ostracized or outcasts in their own social setting These teens find a sense of comfort in developing friendships online. The anonymity of communicating without facing social consequences helps provide that comfort. While many teens find comfort in communicating online, the act of meeting people online is stigmatized in society for a number of reasons. And the amount of friendships made online is much smaller than those made outside the online world. Dangers and stigmas associated with online communication are: that it is dangers risky stranger danger notion teens may have issues getting along with peers at school or socializing normally

Friend lists also serve 3 major purposes: 1) An address book of contacts 2) Privacy settings and control 3) A way to display social identity and status SNS(s) allow users to determine their own boundaries concerning who they accept and who they reject as friends Teens enjoy this option because it allows them to be private, have a deeper sense of connection with the people they do communicate with and to be safe
FriendshipHierarchies MySpaces Top 8 or Top Friends feature allow users to pick a selected amount of friends to be featured in their top spots which appeared publically on their profiles This feature proved to be very controversial for many users, especially youth. The feature forced users to pick certain friends over others, often causing drama or fights between friends Structural aspects of software can force articulations that do not map well to how offline social behavior works (Ito 103)
Status, Attention & Drama SNS and mediated forms of communication can be a great place for youth to develop and build friendships throughout their formative years, but communicating online comes with the territory, especially for teens. The Internet is home to the struggles that often occur as a natural part of the aging process.
Common problems that occur for teens online include: the fact that friendships are made extremely visible which can extend or amplify drama beyond school gossip travels faster over the Internet making it a catalyst for teen drama online stalking the News Feed which allows users to constantly keep up with their friends at all times bullying or cyberbullying The public, persistent, searchable and spreadable nature of mediated information affects the way rumors flow and how dramas play out (Ito 112)
