Interaction and Communication of Chinese Teenagers on WeChat Social Media

Abstract

With the development of the Internet and social media, teenagers communicate with different types of people and establish interpersonal relationships on social media. Chinese teenagers, as a generation growing up under the influence of social media, are communicating and building relationships with different types of people on Chinese social media platforms. As one of the most popular social media platforms among Chinese teenagers, WeChat provides a platform for teenagers to communicate and interact with different types of people. The communication and relationship between teenagers and different objects are different from the traditional offline communication. The paper focused on how teenagers interact with others on WeChat, and whether the way they connect with people changes depending on the "type" of relationship.
