AB This study aimed to analyse how different styles of online and offlinecommunication were associated in middle adolescence with certainindicators of the quality of peer relationships and school victimisation.A longitudinal study with two waves separated by one year was conducted,in which 882 adolescents aged 13–16 years old from Andalusia(Spain) completed self-report measures. Results showed that online communicationwas very frequently used to talk with friends, even moreoften that offline means. Cross-sectionally, online communication waspositively associated with quality of peer relationships and negatively toschool victimisation, reaching stronger associations than offline communication.Longitudinally, results indicated that more frequent text messagingwas related to more easiness to make friends and no bullying inthose adolescents with more initial difficulties. Thus, it suggests the needto develop safe spaces for online interactions in order to improve thequality of their relationships with their friends and partners.
