SUMMARY, RECOMMENDATION & CONCLUSION

SUMMARY

1. The study's findings, based on a survey conducted by the researchers, clearly reveal that G11
STEM students are exploring the advantages and disadvantages of obtaining validation. All of their
revealed responses have to do with Seeking Validation in order to fit in with our culture, and the
repercussions of seeking validation through social media must be balanced.

1.1 There are frequent behavioral issues associated with Seeking Validation; Addiction, which
means that students enjoy receiving compliments, replies, and being exposed on social
media. The more positive comments they received, more their ego became. Being distracted
by other people's compliments may make people anxious to obtain more.
1.2 The students addiction in social media resulted in a negatively way, in a sense that they
seeking validation through social media without knowing the consequences, this became a
part of their daily routine as they encounter more people on social media, some of them
depends on what others say just to feel worthy and accepted, by constantly comparing
themselves to the perfect lives of others, these social media users whose lacking on self-
confidence can become more anxious or depressed over what others seem to have and they
don't.

Conclusion
1. Seeking validation is a desire for other people to be supportive of you, in some of those whose
feelings of self-validation may be weak. It is a behavioral problem that occurs that is something
that all of us, not just those in senior high school, possess.
without being aware of us. We believe seeking validation may turn them into validation addicts.
2. In this study conducted, seeking validation is a behavior seen as a healthy constructive limit.
These days, this is often seen on social media. There is still an answer that the researchers may
provide as it will allow us to improve ourselves more, even though we tend to leave things behind
as a result of this problem.

RECOMMENDATION
Regarding the conclusion, the researchers would like to make the following recommendations:

To the Students:
- As you become older, you will realize that you are a valuable person who does not require
validation to be accepted by society.
- Give up comparing yourself to others. We each have our own point of view. We do have distinct
abilities that set us apart.
- Recognize your own qualities, triumphs, development, and work.
- Self-Validation should be practiced. With repetition, validating yourself will become second
nature. And as you get more adept at validating yourself, you will seek less external validation and
have less tolerance for others invalidating you.
- Treat yourself as though you were a friend. If you're having trouble coming up with an
encouraging response to your thoughts and needs, consider what you'd say to a close friend in
the similar scenario. Try telling yourself the same thing. It may appear odd at first, but that's fine.

To Parents:
- Be mindful about your children's life, consider their feelings and assist them to enlighten
and create awareness to the possible influence that affects their children.
- Monitor the activities done in social media.
Remember that parent play a big role to promote your child's mental health. Fostering and
loving care builds a solid foundation for your child's social and emotional development.
