Facebook as a means to make new peers among early maturing girls
We explored links between girls pubertal timing and online peer networks. We followed early adolescent girls in Sweden over two years. Early pubertal timing was not linked to Facebook use in general. Early pubertal timing was, as expected, linked to number of peers and self-disclosing more on Facebook. Facebook seems to be a means to make new peers among early maturing girls.
