[Air-l] Social Impact of Internet on Teenagers?

[Joal]

Hi, I'm a high school senior, and journalism student in New York City.
I'm doing an article (due Wednesday, 23rd) on the social effects of the
internet on teenagers. 
 
For example - to what extent are kids talking to people they would never
call because IMs seem "less casual"; to what extent are kids using the
telephone less; how are teenage romantic engagements changed by programs
like AIM and email.
 
In general, to what extent is the internet changing to social dynamic of
the typical high school? I've seen some studies of adults that have said
that the extroverts become more extroverted, and the introverts become
more introverted, but I wasn't sure how much of that is true for
teenagers.
 
Anyway, I thought this was a good place to inquire about information
pertaining to this. Please respond directly to me or post to the list if
you can help. If I you'd be available for a short phone interview (or a
face-to-face meeting if you're in NYC) that would be great. Sorry if
I've broken any rules or protocols here. I'm very new to this list.
Thanks for your help.
