Abstrak: Kehadiran internet diyakini membawa pengaruh terhadap perilaku komunikasi manusia. Salah satunya di dalam perilaku penyingkapan diri (self disclosure). Penelitian ini akan menggambarkan penyingkapan diri di kalangan remaja. Hal ini diyakini penting untuk dilakukan, karena saat ini pengguna internet tertinggi di Indonesia adalah kelompok usia remaja. Penggambaran perilaku penyingkapan diri melalui internet di kalangan remaja, akan memberikan gambaran tentang realitas yang terjadi di dalam komunikasi virtual. Analisis dilandasi dari teori komunikasi antar pribadi dengan mengacu pada pemikiran dari Joseph DeVito serta konsep penyingkapan diri dari Richard West dan Lynn Turner. Penelitian dilakukan di dalam paradigma kuantitatif, melalui metode survey terhadap siswa sekolah menengah atas di wilayah Jakarta Pusat. Hasil analisis data sampai pada kesimpulan, bahwa penyingkapan diri lebih sering dilakukan ketika berkaitan dengan hal-hal yang memang lazim di dalam perbincangan publik, sementara itu hal-hal yang bersifat pribadi masih enggan untuk disingkapkan melalui internet.
