This paper analyzes the characteristics of online discourse among contemporary college students and explores corresponding educational guidance methods. The results show that contemporary college students exhibit diverse and personalized characteristics in their online discourse, characterized by interactivity, immediacy, anonymity, and freedom. In response to these characteristics, educational guidance methods include cultivating network literacy, guiding healthy online communication, campus cultural construction, family education and social support, and cross departmental cooperation. By implementing comprehensive policies, we can help college students grow up healthily in the era of the internet and become new era talents with good internet literacy and social responsibility.
