Joal:

I am not sure if there are actually any studies about your interests, though if I had decided to pursue a career in academia, I would be asking questions very similar to yours :-).  Instead, I am an adolescent health specialist who teaches and writes about human sexuality.  I would be happy to have an email, phone, or chat conversation with you if you like about your project.

My questions about the Internet and teens revolve around romantic relationships.  Like, do teens (especially guys) find it easier to express their feelings?  How do teens know when to trust another online?  Can you have a cyber relationship and one IRL and not consider it "cheating"?  How do teens feel after they engage in cyber sex?

I would post a question on a board on Bolt or Alloy or something and take a very informal poll.  There isn't really much out there, so it may be fun to investigate on your own.  No, the results would not technically be "valid," but for a high school project, it would be a great start.

For places to look, the Kaiser Family Foundation (www.kff.org I believe) did a study on how young people use the Internet for health information.  There is a lot in there about asking questions about sex, which is related to social impact.  You may also find some interesting stuff through Harris Interactive on how teens use the Internet.

Hope this helps.  Let me know if I can be of further assistance!
