AB Introduction:The  scientific  evidence  regarding  the  effects  of online social media use on the well-being of adolescents is mixed. In general, passive uses (receiving, viewing content without interacting) and more screen time are related to lower well-being when compared with active uses (direct  interactions  and  interpersonal  exchanges). Objectives:This  study  ex-amines the types and motives for social media usage amongst adolescents, differentiating them by gender identity and sexual orientation, as well as its effects  on  eudaimonic  well-being  and  minority  stress.  Method:  A  cross-sectional study was conducted with 1259 adolescents, aged 14 to 19 (M= 16.19; SD=  1.08),  analysing  the  Scale  of  Motives  for  Using  Social  Net-working  Sites,  eudaimonic  well-being,  the  Sexual  Minority  Adolescent Stress  Inventory,  screen  time  and  profile  type. Results:The  results  found that  longer  use  time  is  related  to  finding  partners,  social  connection  and friendships;  that  gay  and  bisexual  (GB)  adolescents  perceive  more  distal stressors  online;and  that  females  have  higher  levels  of  well-being. Discus-sion: The  public  profiles  of  GB  males  increase  self-expression,  although minority stress can be related to discrimination, rejection or exclusion. Dif-ferentiated  socialization  may  contribute  to  a  higher  level  of  well-being  in females, with both  active and passive  uses positively effecting  eudaimonic well-being in adolescents.
