The expansion of social networks as a new form of communication has influenced the development path of personalities of both children and youth..The basis for building successful pro-social relationships is emotional interaction which during direct communication makes it easier to detect and resolve potential conflicts among participants.In case of information transfer through social networks like Facebook, users of this communication network have the ability to filter their reaction to received content and send controlled response to other participant. The discrimination,risky forms of online behavior andcyber violence are widespread social phenomenon, andadolescentsare a vulnerable groupbecause they are in a delicate developmental period.
