Dr Sarah MacIsaac, from the University of Edinburgh, shares her work on how social media use has impacted on the relationships and identities of adolescents in one school.
We discuss the sense that the adolescents were under the constant gaze of their peers and the 'celebrification' that came with this. We explore how teenagers can be negatively and positively impacted by this and whether they could look critically on their use of social media.
