Abstract

In this paper, we present some of the results obtained in relation to the habits of use of WhatsApp by adolescents, as part of a more extensive investigation on crucial aspects related to “adolescents and their use of new technologies”. Given the complexity of factors that surround the lives of our young people in today’s society, which is equally complex and we have to live, we determined it to be relevant to investigate the issue of WhatsApp and its influence on the lives of our teenagers. It is assumed that new technologies contribute significantly to improving our quality of life, both personally and professionally, although we observe that this is not always the case. Therefore, when referring to secondary school students, we understand that it is important to know how they use ICTs, and how they are involved in the formation of the person. In particular, the data analyzed here refer to some aspects related to the use of the WhatsApp by the students of ESO and First Baccalaureate of the Autonomous Community of Cantabria.
