SILVEIRA, Guilherme Carvalho Franco da. Digital practices, sexuality and education in a public middle school. Educação. Santa Maria [online]. 2021, vol.46, e43284.  Epub Dec 14, 2023. ISSN 1984-6444.  https://doi.org/10.5902/1984644443284.

The present research was inspired by the following question: what is the place of sexuality in the digital practices of middle school adolescents? The objective was to understand the uses, senses and social relations that emerge from practices related to sexuality, mediated by the digital media of adolescents of a public elementary school. From an ethnographic approach, it was noticed that adolescents access and share, intentionally or not (when friends share), a large amount of content related to sexuality. The forms of access, consequences and conflicts that emerged, as well as the types of mediation that school and families used to deal with this issue are discussed.

Keywords : Digital practices; Adolescents; Sexuality.
