Hi Alladi,
danah boy's ethnographic work on teens and their use of social media in the US is most well known, a pdf version of her open access book titled 'It's Complicated' can be found here: http://www.danah.org/itscomplicated/
Furthermore, I have conducted an ethnographic study of ethnic minority youth in the Netherlands, a pdf version of my open access book titled 'Digital Passages. Diaspora, Gender and Youth Cultural Intersections' can be found here: http://www.oapen.org/search?identifier=559550
I've also recently completed fieldwork among young Londoners (12-21 years old) on the use of social media to negotiate cultural difference, an open acces article called 'Digital Throwntogetherness: Young Londoners Negotiating Urban Politics of Difference and Encounter on Facebook' published in the journal Popular Communication can be downloaded here: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/15405702.2014.960569#.Vd7Ef7fWQu0
Best wishes,
Koen.
