Hi, I am particularly interested on related literature on identity´s construction through peer relations and/or the use of digital technologies among teenagers. Thank you!
I've written some articles related to that. You can also find other references to this field from these publications. Best, Arniika

This article, for exemple, is interesting and even if it's about autistic children, you may find some elements which could help:
