Preferred term

teen communities  

Definition

  • Several key social issues lie at the heart of the notion of the Western teen community, such as socializing with peers, feeling a sense of belonging, creating and reinforcing group boundaries, dealing with social rejection and isolation, and learning about social norms and values. While many of these social behaviors are not unique to teenagers, they are at the heart of teen practices. [Source: Encyclopedia of Social Networks; Teen Communities]
