Teenager lies in age group of 13 -19 years, are the active users of social media and they are also concerned with privacy. They share large information on social networking sites, but they also keep online privacy behaviour. The health related issues were not disclosed on social media sites by teenage patients. There have been very few studies on how teenagers were managing personal health information on social media. This review helps in understanding teenagers? outlook towards the revealing of health related issues on social media. Database searched were DELNET, EBSCO and reference list of articles. The keywords used for searching the articles were teenage patient, privacy, social media, personal privacy and health issues. Most of the studies are based on qualitative methodology. By using electronic sources, eighteen articles were identified and four additional articles through other sources. Twenty two articles were identified and three articles were excluded because of duplicacy. The nineteen articles were screened and five articles were selected based on eligibility criteria. Results showed that the teenage patients are active users of social media, but most of them do not disclose their personal health information on social media. They communicate information like interest, daily activities on these sites. The majority of teenage patients don?t want to come in contact with who are of the same age having similar problems. The review expressed that social media is important part of teenage patient?s life, but teenage patients use online privacy as an only for expression of self-definition and self-protection. Intensive researches have to be carried to rule out further information.
