Teenagers have no obvious right to spaces of their own. They often have nowhere else to go except outdoor public places, where they often come into conflict with other groups. This article explores this dilemma. Based on empirical studies in Sweden, the article describes how teenagers use public spaces in their local environments to create meaning and context in their existence. It indicates which places they use, what characterizes these places, and how teenagers use them. Variation and variety in the structures and environments of places mean that the local field of activity cannot always be encompassed by traditional generalizing theories. Knowledge of the significance of local variations in the identity construction and action strategies of youth thus becomes an important link in understanding and interpreting the postmodern society.

Many researchers believe Internet addiction is related to negative life events, but some scholars do not agree with this view. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis of 85 articles published in Chinese and English databases between 2003 and 2020, to explore the relationship between
negative life events and Internet addiction among 86,833 Mainland Chinese teenagers and young adults. Results show that negative life events had a significant positive correlation with Internet addiction and that the correlation was moderated by regional location, gender, and social development.
Compared with the results based on a sample of a single group, our findings are reliable and lay the foundation for further research on negative life events and Internet addiction.

Social media and European Union are two realities of the present that have undoubtedly brought major changes in society in terms of communication, intergroup relations and identity negotiation. The power relations between social media and European Union have become so great that a change from one side is immediately felt on the other side, and more important is that the two together define the present and build the future. It is a complex process, especially since European integration is resisting nationalist politics, and the Internet is drastically regulated even by the European Union, as it has never been before. Thus, inevitably, new aspects of social life arise, with which people need to get familiarized in order to shape a common sense. Therefore, we investigated the social representation of social media at Romanian teenagers, demonstrating through this research that it has mostly positive elements, but which are under the threat of new Internet regulations. If we also consider the process of European integration, social media can represent a strong link between the European Union and Romania, helping create a good European identity, despite the national sovereignty that has been promoted. The research was based on a structured questionnaire, Associative Network Technique with four stimuli ("Me", "Social Media", "European Union", "Romania"), YouTube video analysis, and text mining on Facebook.

"The first generation of children who were born into and raised in the digital world are coming of age and reshaping the world in their image. Our economy, our politics, our culture, and even the shape of our family life are being transformed. But who are these wired young people? And what is the world they're creating going to look like? In this revised and updated edition, leading Internet and technology experts John Palfrey and Urs Gasser offer a cutting-edge sociological portrait of these young people, who can seem, even to those merely a generation older, both extraordinarily sophisticated and strangely narrow. Exploring a broad range of issues--privacy concerns, the psychological effects of information overload, and larger ethical issues raised by the fact that young people's social interactions, friendships, and civic activities are now mediated by digital technologies--Born Digital is essential reading for parents, teachers, and the myriad of confused adults who want to understand the digital present and shape the digital future."--

AbstractThis paper offers a brief consideration of the internal and external factors impacting children and young people who have become in conflict with the law.

We performed a meta-analysis of 79 studies to explore the relationship between positive and negative indicators of parenting style and Internet addiction among 44,650 mainland Chinese teenagers. Results showed that positive indicators of parenting style had a significant negative correlation
with teenagers' Internet addiction and that the correlation was moderated by region and school level. Negative indicators of parenting style were significantly and positively correlated with teenagers' Internet addiction and the correlation was also moderated by region and school level. Theoretical
and practical implications of the findings are discussed.
