Summary:	The aim of this study is to assess the relationship between the ways adolescents use Facebook and self-esteem. The study is a survey conducted by a descriptive method. The study included 168 secondary-school students taught in Trabzon in the fall semester of the 2009-2010 training year. Of the participants, 103 (61%) were male and 65 (39%) were female. As the data collecting tool, Facebook Questionnaire, prepared by the researchers, and Coopersmith Self-Esteem Scale (CSES) were used. According to the findings obtained from the study, there are significant relationships between the scores adolescents received from the different uses of Facebook and those from different subscales of Self-Esteem scale. These findings were debated with reference to the literature and some recommendations were made about the future studies on the issue concerned.
