Adolescence is decisive for development, being characterized by a transition to adulthood. The physical changes that mark puberty also imply transformations in the way that this individual perceives himself and his role in society, triggering the need for an internal reorganization, assigning new meanings to the psychological development process and to the body itself, directly involving the emotional affective life and social coexistence. The research aimed to analyze the implications of the use of social networks on the Internet in the construction of the adolescent's identity, based on his graphic, photographic and verbal productions. This is a qualitative descriptive research using the clinical method. Five adolescents aged between 12 and 17 years, living in the ABC / SP Region participated. Data collection was done individually in the face-to-face and online modalities. Each participant responded to a semi-directive interview, to the clinical procedure of Design Story with Theme (DE-T) and freely produced or chose a photograph that represented him, creating a story about that photograph. Such collected materials were analyzed qualitatively in a psychoanalytical perspective, in order to elaborate a synthesis for each participant, integrating the analysis of the interview and the DE-T, articulated with the image and the history produced in the photograph. Then, a conclusive analysis was elaborated, articulating the totality of cases. The results indicated that the use of social networks was represented by adolescents as a possibility favorable to cognitive and social development. By exposing the best of themselves on social networks, that is, how they want to be seen and accepted by others, they seek to escape the anguish and suffering inherent in this stage of life. In this way, they build an identity based on the technological facilities of what is possible between the virtual and the real.
