| There are a number of barriers to trust in the online environment. Despite the awareness of online dangers, young adults take risk on posting personal information on sensitive personal and family information. Trust is crucial to computer mediated communication because there are several applications and transactions that people undertake without coming in contact with each other. Without trust, it could be difficult for such transactions to take effect. Thus, this study was designed to assess the issues of trust in Computer Mediated Communication among students of Canterbury High School, Lagos with particular reference to social networking sites in order to ascertain various challenges encountered and how to guide against negative influences. The following objectives were set out: (i) To assess the extent to which students of Canterbury International High School Ajah- Lekki , Lagos use social networking sites., (ii) to ascertain reasons why students of Canterbury International High School use social networking sites, (iii) to examine the issues of trust arising from the use of social networking among students in Canterbury International High School, Ajah-Lekki, Lagos, (iv) to ascertain the possible ways through which secondary school student can be protected from the negative effects of trust on social networking sites. Uses and Gratification Theory was the Theoretical Frameworks deployed in the study.

S. 3 students and staff of Canterbury High School. Instruments of data collection included questionnaire and in-depth interview.
