I've found a wonderful study called
Making Connections: Adolescent Girls' Use of the Internet by Janice Irene Robbins
Virginia State UNiversity
april 25th 2001
Blacksburg, Virginia
which is online in acrobat reader format.. very interesting and useful.
And i've read a book called Reviving Ophelia: saving the selves of adolescent girls written by Mary Pipher, PH.D after it was mentioned in the study by Robbins. It's very insightful and it helps a great deal, but i still feel that i need to do some serious research in the library. I'm progressing quite well, i've outlined my chapters and along the way find subtopics to discuss. This is pretty much where i am right now;
Chapters:
Movement of Adolescents on the Web
- Help
- Protecting Teens Online
- Girls and Boys
Users to Creators
Young Creators
- Photoshop and Other Tools
- Webdesign
Case Study: The Tribe Holland Forum
I'm mostly getting ahead rather well because i think my topic is very interesting and i enjoy researching.
So far; ciao and much luck to everyone else.
