Facebook as a means to make new peers among early maturing girls
作者：
Highlights：
• We explored links between girls’ pubertal timing and online peer networks.
• We followed early adolescent girls in Sweden over two years.
• Early pubertal timing was not linked to Facebook use in general.
• Early pubertal timing was, as expected, linked to number of peers and self-disclosing more on Facebook.
• Facebook seems to be a means to make new peers among early maturing girls.
