摘要：In recent years there has been a growing interest in studying the social impact of Internet and, specifically, the relationship that young people and teenagers have with this medium. Part of the data provided by these researches quickly become outdated due to the emergence of new services and given the growing number of users. In this sense, even today there is little research focused on virtual social networks and how young people use these networks. In particular, there are minimal references to possible differences in how boys and girls use virtual social networks. Therefore, in this article we present the results of an exploratory research, based on the application of a survey via the Internet to users of social networks in order to know what leads young people to enter into these virtual spaces.
