The article gives a review of new foreign studies describing the psychological characteristics of adolescent behavior in social networks. As a result of the analysis, it was possible to identify a number of positive and negative aspects of the use of social networks by adolescents. The positive aspects include the possibility of obtaining social support through social networks, and the simplification of the process of interpersonal communication. The negative aspects include manifestations of bullying by teenagers in relation to each other on social networks (“cyberbullying”), as well as the spread and use of psychoactive substances by teenagers using social networks, etc. A review of the “Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale” (BSMAS) was conducted.
