互联网为青少年提供了建立关系和探索性行为的机会，但在网上寻求亲密关系也成为了一种压力源。因此，青少年经常求助于互联网，因为它的可访问性、互动性和匿名性。我们分析了3050条同行评论和1451条来自青少年的回复（837条帖子），这些青少年在网上与熟人发生性行为时寻求建议和/或支持。我们发现同龄人主要提供信息和情感支持。他们通常根据自己的负面经历，就如何处理负面的网络性体验和减轻其长期影响给出了建议。他们提供情感支持，让青少年知道他们并不孤单，不应该责怪自己。这些发现的一个关键含义是，这些情况似乎经常发生，年轻人在如何以一种相互支持的方式处理这些情况的规范子集上趋于一致。然而，在某些情况下，他们也会采取指责受害者或报复那些违反“安全”性短信规范的人。青少年对情感上的支持和建议心存感激，这有助于他们安全地交往，但当同龄人对他们的关系持批评态度时，他们会自我防御。总之，我们的研究结果表明，年轻人正在自我组织，在安全性短信的指导方针和规范上趋于一致，但在构建信息以使其更容易被接受方面存在困难。在我们的论文中，我们通过分析网络同伴提供建议和支持的方式，确定了以青少年为中心的关于安全性短信的信念，从而为青少年网络安全文献做出了贡献。我们提供可操作的建议，以促进通过在线同伴支持平台交换积极的建议和支持。
The internet facilitates opportunities for adolescents to form relationships and explore their sexuality but seeking intimacy online has also become a stressor. As a result, adolescents often turn to the internet to seek support concerning issues related to sex because of its accessibility, interactivity, and anonymity. We analyzed 3,050 peer comments and 1,451 replies from adolescents (837 posts) who sought advice and/or support about online sexual experiences involving known others. We found peers mostly provided information and emotional support. They gave advice on how to handle negative online sexual experiences and mitigate their long-term repercussions, often based on their own negative experiences. They provided emotional support by letting teens know that they were not alone and should not blame themselves. A key implication of these findings is that these situations seemingly occurred regularly and youth were converging on a subset of norms about how to handle such situations in a way that supported one another. Yet, in some cases, they also resorted to victim-blaming or retaliating against those who broke these norms of "safe" sexting. Teens were grateful for emotional support and advice that helped them engage safely but were defensive when peers were critical of their relationships. Together, our findings suggest that youth are self-organizing to converge on guidelines and norms around safe sexting but have trouble framing their messages so that they are more readily accepted. In our paper, we contribute to the adolescent online safety literature by identifying youth-focused beliefs about safe sexting by analyzing the ways in which online peers give advice and support. We provide actionable recommendations for facilitating the exchange of positive advice and support via online peer-support platforms.
