Introduction
Background of the Study
Social media refers to the interactions among people in which they create, share,
and/or exchange information and ideas in virtual communities and networks. The Office of
Communications and Marketing manages the main Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn
and YouTube accounts. Social media platforms allow users to have conversations, share
information and create web content. There are many forms of social media, including blogs,
micro-blogs, wikis, social networking sites, photo-sharing sites, instant messaging, video-
sharing sites, podcasts, widgets, virtual worlds, and more.
However, social media use can also negatively affect teens, distracting them,
disrupting them sleep, and exposing them to bullying, rumor spreading, unrealistic views of
other people’s lives and peer pressure (M Rithika, Sara Selveraj-2013). The risks might be
related to how much social media teens use. Reduced academic performance is one of the
most important consequences of social networking overuse for students. The results of a
study on medical students showed that students who used social networks and internet more
than average had a poor academic achievement and low level of concentration in the
classroom.
