Summary/Abstract: Facebook is currently the most popular friendnetworking site in the world. The concept of friends on social networking site does not coincide with the notion of friends in real life. Nevertheless, Facebook is a social network that is based on real friends with the possibility of accepting strangers. In a study on a sample of 150 pupils from High School of Economics, we found that all have a profile on Facebook, the majority spends two hours a day on Facebook and has over a hundred Facebook friends. Since we studied only the social aspect of using Facebook, we found that Facebook is used primarily as a support and continuation of socializing with real friends, but that there is a group of young people who prefers Facebook compared to conventional forms of socializing. Four typical groups of high school students were discriminated compared to the use of Facebook and socializing: Withdrown, Athletes, Virtual and Friendly.
