Abstract
The main goal of this study is to examine high school students’ online risky behaviors through social media sites and their coping strategies. To this end, 816 high school students were administered a questionnaire that consists of three sections. The questionnaire included demographic information form, Online Risks Questionnaire, and Coping Strategies Scale. The results showed that Instagram and WhatsApp are the most popular social media sites among high schoolers. Also, male students engage in risky behaviors more than female students. Also, female students employed protective strategies more than male students. Another important finding is the low rate of children asking for help from family and teacher in the face of any threat due to their risky behaviors in social media sites. In addition, it was found that the preventive behaviors requested from secondary people (such as telling the person on the friend list to remove himself/herself from the friend list) are less used by high school students. The findings and suggestions for future research are discussed.
