Summary/Abstract: Despite the raising awareness of programmes on internet safety, there are no websites intended to review the adolescent’s risk status of exposure to sexual related risks. In order to fill this lack we propose a questionnaire model able to predict certain risk categories of a sexual nature encountered in the online environment. The model was developed as a part of the author’s doctoral thesis. The results of the questionnaire are able to determine the degree of risk-related exposure of teenagers in most probably categories. After evaluating the responses related to general online behavior of adolescents, this model can contribute not only to juveniles self-knowledge, but also it is able to support parents and teachers in the effective and early prevention of potential abuses.
