Internet is a “guru”, the latest achievement of modern times, an unlimited range of topics, a source of phenomena and world events, as well as an irreplaceable tool of entertainment. It is a very convenient form of contact, aimed at replacing traditional correspondence, telephony, and even in the “busy world” of traditional meetings. It allows you to send files containing texts, sound, image and movie. Growing young people focus on the same topics, interests or hobbies, creating virtual communities. Social networks, which are one of the types of such a community, are becoming more and more popular among Polish cyberspace users. Their task is to make new contacts possible, find old friends and acquaintances, and share information about themselves. Therefore, they satisfy the needs arising from human nature, such as affiliation, being with others, friendship. In connection with the constantly growing popularity of social networking sites, the aim of the empirical research was to find out the role they play in the psychosocial life of 750 8th grade students in Polish primary schools. Particular attention was paid to interpersonal relations, initiated both in the virtual world and beyond. Empirical research has made it possible for us to verify theoretical knowledge about social networking sites and confront it with the actual participation of websites in building interpersonal bonds among young people, constructing their activity and showing the positive and negative aspects of using them.
