This article aim is to focus on teenagers’ Internet and Web 2.0 usages, especially in order to highlight their behaviours on social networks. Authors take into consideration the JAMES’ study finding (N = 1169) which was conducted in Switzerland in 2012 and display that usages (mostly access to information) are linked to different steps of adolescent’s life. By underlining the key role played by social networks, considered as relational technology tools, the authors also focus on offensive practises which are one of the consequences of the adolescent’s full-immersion into the world of social networks.
