A phenomenological qualitative study of 8 adolescent girls between the ages of 14 and 16 was conducted to explore the potential impact of social networking sites on adolescent girls' development. The girls, who used social media on average of 1 hour per day, were interviewed about the challenges they faced using social networking sites and the impact of using these sites on the following aspects of adolescent devlopment: self-esteem, self-concept and body image, need for intimacy and support, decision-making, and risk taking. Participants reported being attracted to using social networking sites because they allowed them to be connected to peers. However, they did not use social networking sites for intimacy and support, nor for decision-making. Self-esteem was affected both positively and negatively. The girls received validation from others which bolstered self-esteem but also engaged in comparisons of their body and looks to others, leading them to experience negative feelings about the self. They used social networking sites to explore different interests and aspects of themselves to reach identity achievement. Although they did not report feeling pressure from their peers to engage in risky behaviors, they did report overcoming solicitations from strangers to do things they did not feel comfortable doing. They were able to safeguard against such solicitations by purposefully choosing who had access to their social networking sites and the information they shared, by using a variety of tools such as blocking people or having multiple accounts to manage who could access their information. Additional challenges they reported facing were lack of tone, and permanency and regret. The participants reported feeling most frustrated about their inability to express tone in their online communications and having misunderstandings because of this. They also expressed concerns and sometimes regrets because of the permanency of postings. The participants in this study demonstrated that technology, the way it's used, and even the way social networking sites are defined is continuously evolving and changing, consequently there is a need for: continuous curiosity and research about the impact of using current and future social networking sites on adolescent development.
