From Erin Mishkin's paper (unpublished) on Cyber Bullying:

'''Constantly Connected: A Brief Look at Youthâs Life Online'''

There is no debate over the significant role digital media such as cell phones and the Internet play in most teensâ lives. A recent report of a ten-year study on the impact of online technology on the United States indicated that 98% of youth (12-18 years old) use the Internet ([http://www.digitalcenter.org/downloads/DigitalFutureReport-Year4-2004.pdf USC Annenberg School Center for the Digital Future, 2004]). With such a large number of teens logging on or text messaging, electronic mediums have become the primary means by which the majority of youth remain
connected to their social worlds and by which they maintain and reinforce their âestablished, off-
line peer networkâ (Gross, E., Juvonen, J., & Gable, S., 2002, p. 77) after walking out school
doors. In fact, one study that relied on self-reported data showed that youth in their sample âspent a majority of their time online interacting with close, offline friendsâ¦ the most frequently
cited reasons for instant messaging were to hang out with a friend and relieve boredom, and the
most common topics discussed in IMs were friends and gossipâ (Gross, 2004, p. 642).

A study by the [http://www.pewinternet.org/PPF/r/36/report_display.asp Pew Internet and American Life Project] (2001) indicated that for a fifth of
all youth Internet users, IMing has become the primary means of communicating with friends. In
addition, 56% have more than one email address or screen name, and, of this group, 24% say that
they keep at least one of those addresses or screen names secret from their friends or family.
Interestingly, 24% of teens have pretended to be someone else while communicating online (Pew
Internet and American Life Project, 2001). Still another study based on self-reporting found that
âonline pretendingâ was motivated by âa desire to play a joke on friends more often than to
explore a desired or future identityâ (Gross, 2004, p. 633).

Being connected is not just limited to participating in online activities, however. As
additional studies have shown, cell phone usage is especially high among teensâwith phones
being linked to social status and a tool for â[expressing] belonging in social groupsâ (Palen,
Salzman & Young, 2000, p. 2). Another study conducted in the UK indicated that teens use text
messages as a ritual form of gift giving because of the memories and shared meaning associated
with the messages.
